How to re-initialize or refresh Editor?

dmcglynn

I have successfully followed this example on "One-to-Many joins" in the Editor.

https://editor.datatables.net/examples/advanced/joinArray.html

I have developed a page where after the Editor is initialized, the user is able to modify the table from which my "many" is pulled.

Is there a method in Editor to re-initialize or refresh so that after a user changes the contents of the "many" table, my editor-generated checkbox-list will then show the new result from the "many" table? A page-refresh takes care of it, but I was just curious if there was another way?

Thanks!

Hi David,

Currently the ajax.reload() method would be how that can be done. It will refresh to full table (without requiring a page reload).

A more complete solution (not requiring a full table data reload) would require some potentially complex logic to refresh only the result cells, although it could be done if that is a requirement.

That is absolutely what I was looking for. Thanks for the quick help, Allan. I keep forgetting that the editor is an extension of the dataTable!

Great work on this amazing project!
