<div class="info">
|
|
44
|
<p>To try and make life easy, by default, DataTables expects arrays to be used as the data source for
|
|
45
|
rows in the table. However, this isn't always useful, and you may wish to have DataTables use objects
|
|
46
|
as the data source for each row (i.e. each row has its data described by an object) as this can make
|
|
47
|
working with the data much more understandable, particularly if you are using the API and you don't
|
|
48
|
need to keep track of array indexes.</p>
|
|
49
|
|
|
50
|
<p>This can be done quite simply by using the <a href=
|
|
51
|
"//datatables.net/reference/option/columns.data"><code class="option" title=
|
|
52
|
"DataTables initialisation option">columns.data<span>DT</span></code></a> option which you use to tell
|
|
53
|
DataTables which property to use from the data source object for each column.</p>
|
|
54
|
|
|
55
|
<p>In this example the Ajax source returns an array of objects, which DataTables uses to display the
|
|
56
|
table. The structure of the row's data source in this example is:</p>
|
|
57
|
<pre>
|
|
58
|
<code class="multiline">{
|
|
59
|
"name": "Tiger Nixon",
|
|
60
|
"position": "System Architect",
|
|
61
|
"salary": "$3,120",
|
|
62
|
"start_date": "2011/04/25",
|
|
63
|
"office": "Edinburgh",
