Change custom HTTP params with JS

jmarceli

I would like to use custom HTTP variables http://datatables.net/examples/server_side/custom_vars.html to create external custom filtering buttons for server side data source. I know how to initialize datatable with custom variables it works well:

$('table.dataTable').dataTable({
    serverSide: true,
    ajax: {
      data: {
        filters: {
          status_id: 2
        }
      }
    },
  }

But how can I change that custom variable (filters: {status_id: 2}) after initialization?

I've tried:

$('table.dataTable').DataTable().ajax.data = {filters: {status_id: 8}}

and

$('table.dataTable').DataTable().data({filters: {status_id: 8}})

but this doesn't work as I expected.
