`className` should be `table-active` by default

[Seb33300]

The default className for Bootstrap 5 tables should be table-active instead of selected as in the Bootstrap 5 documentation:
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/content/tables/#active-tables

Do you mean the class on the <tr>, not the <table>?

There isn't actually an option to change that in Select at the moment, but I can add that. I think the Bootstrap table-active class is a bit too subtle for the intention of Select, but I can certainly look at adding that option.

Hi @AllanJard,

I mean the class name on the <tr> (which is .selected by default).
Or on the <td> if the select extension is configured to select cells instead of rows.

If you look at my previous link on Bootstrap documentation, the class .table-active is used on <tr> or <td> to highlight them.
So i think this is a better replacement to be used instead of the .selected class when working with Bootstrap 5.

You already provide an option to change that class: https://datatables.net/reference/option/select.className

I tried to override the default value but it did not work:

$.extend(true, DataTable.defaults, {
    select: {
        className: 'table-active'
    }
);

I also tried:

$.extend(true, DataTable.defaults.ext.select, {
    className: 'table-active'
);

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

Note: if I use that option directly when creating a datatable, it works.
But I would like to set it as the default value.

I don't think you are doing anything wrong, it just does support setting a default yet. That is an oversight on my part and something that I need to address.
