How to access all columns inside initComplete function ?

janbugu

Is there a way to get access to the data table instance inside initComplete function ?
As a example what i want is something like below. Thanks.

var table = $('#example').DataTable({
"initComplete": function(settings, json) {
var columns = columns();
}

What is the end goal you are trying to achieve?

Thanks jr42.gordon for the reply. Goal was to apply column search for each column after the table is initialized. found a way out of it by using this.api().columns()

var table = $('#example').DataTable({
"initComplete": function(settings, json) {
var columns = this.api().columns();
}
