The length of what is undefined?

traedoril

I am using version 10.0.6 of datatables. I have four columns defined and I am trying to get the data from the server.

I am not sure what "length" the error is referring to.

table

<table class="table table-striped" id="activeProjects">
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>Project Name</th>
            <th>Project Number</th>
            <th>Manager</th>
            <th>Architect</th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>

    </tbody>
</table>

AJAX:

[
    {
        ProjectName: "First Project",
        ProjectNumber: "12345",
        ProjectManager: "Tony Stark",
        ProjectArchitect: "Steve Rodgers"
    }
]

DataTable:

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#activeProjects').dataTable({
        "paging": true,
        "ordering": true,
        "info": false,
        "processing": true,
        "serverSide": true,
        "ajax": "../api/Project/GetAll/",
        "columns": [
        { "data": "ProjectName" },
        { "data": "ProjectNumber" },
        { "data": "ProjectManager" },
        { "data": "ProjectArchitect" }
        ]
    });
});

I am not sure what I am missing to populate the table.

well it would certainly work if your json looked like:

    {"data":[{ "ProjectName": "First Project", "ProjectNumber": "12345", "ProjectManager": "Tony Stark", "ProjectArchitect": "Steve Rodgers" }], "options": [] ]

"serverSide": true,

You have server-side processing enabled, but it doesn't look like you have implemented server-side processing. I would suggest removing that. Out of interest, why did you put it in?

Also you can use the ajax.dataSrc option and set it to be an empty string to have DataTables read a plain array of data, rather than looking for the data property in an object.
