If I have a reference to the table object, how can I get the id for the table?

utkant

I am using dataTables and AngularJS together so I make the table and add it to the $scope as this:

$scope.theList = $element.find('table').DataTable(config);

This is working ok, but now when I want the datatable Id I am not sure how to retrieve it using the datatable object in the $scope.theList variable.

You can use the table().node() method to get the table's node - i.e:

var id = $scope.theList.table().node().id;
