Get access to jquery object when using selector.DataTable()

INTONE

I am trying to trigger a deselect from within another handler but I cannot get access to jquery object.

campaignRewardTable = $('#campaignReward').DataTable({...});
campaignRewardTable.on( 'deselect', function () {...});
getMerchants().success(function (data) {
   campaignRewardTable.ajax.reload( null, false );
   campaignRewardTable.trigger('deselect'); //Uncaught TypeError: campaignRewardTable.trigger is not a function
});

Any help is appreciated.

Seems I cannot call a trigger on campaignRewardTable because it was not created by native jquery.

Two options:

1. table().table() to get the table element and then use $() on it
2. Do something like:

var jqTable = $('#campaignReward');
campaignRewardTable = jqTable.DataTable({...});
campaignRewardTable.on( 'deselect', function () {...});
getMerchants().success(function (data) {
   campaignRewardTable.ajax.reload( null, false );
   jqTable.trigger('deselect');
});
