Get extra field sent by server side script

karimmtlc

Hi,

I am using server side processing with jquery datatables 1.10. I am able to add some fields to the json that I am sending to the client.

Now I need to get those extra fields that added.

I found that there was a solution for this in legacy datatables which does not work for me. Could you please show how to do it in 1.10?

Here is how my code looks like:

        serverSide: true,
        ajax: my_server_side_script_url,
        deferLoading: $("#total_records").val(),
        "fnServerData": function ( sSource, aoData, fnCallback ) {
            console.log(sSource);
            $.getJSON( sSource, aoData, function (json) {
                console.log(json.myextrafield);
                fnCallback(json);
            } );
        }, 

the console.log(sSource) result is null and the script does not get the call.

Thanks

See the ajax.data reference documentation and this example.

Hi Allan,

The server scripts send an additional field in the json returned from the server, and I want to use that field in js.

Here is what is returned from the server:
"draw":"6","recordsTotal":20,"recordsFiltered":20,"data":[[...]],"extra_field1":4,"extra_field2":24}

I want to be able to use the values 4 and 24 of extra fields.

The link that you sent does the other way when you send extra data from js to the server.

Am I wrong?

Sorry - I misunderstood. Use either the xhr event or ajax.dataSrc option to access this data. The event is the one I would recommend.

Hi Allan,

xhr works perfectly for me.

Thanks a lot
