using javascript hashtable as datasource

meekaaku

I have read the docs, but havnt been able to find a solution
https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.data

i have a javascript object as a hashtable.. the data consist of
list[hashcode] = {arg : value, arg2 : value2 .... }
ie.. list is not a conventional array, but associative/hashtable like.. i dont know beforehand what hashcodes will be
how do I make datatable read from such a data structure?

You don't - sorry. DataTables will accept only an array of data at the moment, where each element in the array is a row for the table. It will not read from objects.

You would need to convert your object to an array, which you can do using $.map() or similar.
