How to access data Object

Akhor

Hi,

How can I access the columns full mData when a table is setup like below:


var columns = [ { mData: dynamic.title } ];
var data = [ { dynamic: {title:'Test', desc: 'description', value3: 'val3' } } ];


$('#table').dataTable( {aaData: data, aoColumns: columns, fnCreatedCell: function(nTD,sData,oData,iRow,iCol){
alert( sData ); //Shows "Test"

//How can I get the whole object?
// { dynamic: {title:'test', desc: 'description', value3: 'val3' }


} });

To get the data for the whole column, you currently need to use a plug-in: http://datatables.net/plug-ins/api#fnGetColumnData

Oh thanks! I found I can also use mRender and return the data according to the "type"

mRender: function (data, type,val){
if (type === 'display'){
return data;
}else if (type === 'filter'){
return data.display;
}
return data;
} };
