It should be possible to set localization methods through data attributes

[joshuajeschek]

Description

Since it is possible to set most functions throught data attributes, such as data-query-params for the table or data-formatter for columns, it should also be possible to set the methods for localization via data attributes.
The following should be possible:

<table
// other options ...
data-format-no-matches="formatNoMatches"
// ...
/>

function formatNoMatches() {
  return 'No matching records found.';
}

However, this results in the following error:

Uncaught TypeError: this.options.formatNoMatches is not a function
bootstrap-table.min.js:10:104521

---

The only way to set it currently is like this:

$('table').bootstrapTable('refreshOptions', { formatNoMatches });

However, I am not using javascript to instantiate my table and i would like to keep it that way, keeping the configuration in the html data tags.

Another option is that you can override the default format option.

Object.assign($.fn.bootstrapTable.locales['en-US'], {
  formatNoMatches () {
    return 'No matching records found.'
  }
})
Object.assign($.fn.bootstrapTable.defaults, $.fn.bootstrapTable.locales['en-US'])

I'm not sure how many users need to set the format with data-attribute, mark it as a feature first, and then consider implementing it into code if there are a large number of users who need it.

Thanks. It is a good option, but it doesn't quite apply to my usecase:

• using the standard translations provided
• overriding only formatNoMatches
• since my application already uses a different tool for translation though, I am not reimplementing formatNoMatches for every language, but only once, accessing the tool in the override function.
