columns().init()

Get the initialisation options for the selected columns.

Description

Please see the column().init() method for discussion of this method. It is identical and the same rules apply, with the exception of the fact that multiple columns can be selected and the returned value will always be a DataTables API object.

Type

Example

let table = new DataTable('#myTable', {
	columnDefs: [
		{
			target: 1,
			customProp: true
		}
	]
});

table.columns().every(function () {
	this.init().customProp;
	// is `true` for column index 1, otherwise undefined
});
