About defaultContent and render options

yu yen kan

I have a field using default content and render in the sametime

                  column: [{ 
                            data: date_at', 
                            title: "Date", 
                            defaultContent: "No generated",
                            render : function ( data, type, full, meta ) {
                                return new Date(data);
                            }
                        }]

the problem is empty string is still go to render function and cause min date value.

columns.defaultContent is only used if the data for the column is null. Your rendering function is basically always going to override it, so you'd need to add an if condition into your rendering function.
