row().id()

Since: DataTables 1.10.8

Get the id of the selected row.

Description

This method can be used to get a row's id, as specified by the row's data and the rowId option. Optionally it can also prepend a hash (#) to the row id allowing it to then easily be used as a selector.

Important This method does not read the DOM id for the tr element, but rather gets the row id from the row's data source (location specified by rowId).

Type

`row().id( [ hash ] )`

Get the id of the selected row.

Parameters:

	Name	Type	Optional
1	`hash`	`boolean`	Yes - default:false
	`true` - Append a hash (`#`) to the start of the row id. This can be useful for then using the id as a selector `false` - Do not modify the id value.

Returns:

string: Row id. If the row does not have an id available undefined will be returned.

Example

Click handler that shows row id:

var table = new DataTable('#myTable');

$('#myTable').on('click', 'tr', function () {
	var id = table.row(this).id();

	alert('Clicked row id ' + id);
});
