Getting settings

greenflash

I'm struggling to work out how I get the settings in 1.10. Previously I used to use fnSettings(). However the new equivalent is settings(), but the documentation says that the information in the object is considered to be private. But I can't work out what the approved way of doing it is. For example what are the equivalents of oSettings.ajax and oSettings.bServerSide, where oSettings = table.fnSettings()?

settings() returns an API instance of settings objects - so you would need to do settings()[0]. ....

However, as the documentation says - please don't use the settings object! If you can get the information from the public API you should. For example to find if server-side processing is enabled use page.info().
