Server side datatable with html source

tyro89

Hello,

I would like to set-up a server side ajax datatable but return html instead of json as the source. Is there an easy way to do this or would I have to dig into the datatable source code?

Thank you!

There is currently no way to do this with DataTables - it expects a JSON data source. What you would need to do is preprocess the string and convert it to an array or object data source.

Alternatively you could use a mustache.js template to populate the table prior to applying DataTables to it.
