Refer a cell by name

uskerine

Hi, in a table which includes the following definition:

"columnDefs": [
...
{
  "name": "price",
  "targets": [ 4 ],
  "data": "price",
  "render": function(data) { 
    return (data); 
},
...

A cell is being currently refered by using:

oTable.cell(row,4).data();

Is there anyway to use its name ("price") instead of its position index (4)?

Thanks,

Yes, the column-selector can be used to reference columns by name. In this case you would use:

oTable.cell( row, 'price:name' ).data();
