Hi everybody,
I want to to apply ellipsis for rendered column as bellow ?

$('#tableID').DataTable({
columns: [
{
"data": "profils", // column index number 2.
"render": "[, ].name" // building string with comma separator.
},
...
],

columnDefs: [
{
targets: 2,
render: $.fn.dataTable.render.ellipsis(5)
}
],
...
}

You need to combine the two renderers together. A column can only have a single rendering function, so you would need to do something like:

render: function ( data, type, row ) {
  if ( type === 'display' ) {
    var myRenderedValue = // do your rendering / joining

    return $.fn.dataTable.render.ellipsis(5).display( myRenderedValue );
  }
  return data;
}
