How to view selected multiple rows text as JSON?

nzimmer

So i've been trying to figure out how to view my selected rows as a JSON layout but whenever I try

    console.log(JSON.stringify(table.rows('.selected').data()));

It shows me everything in the table instead of the selected values.

    <tbody>
            <c:forEach var="promotion" items="${Promotion}" varStatus="status">
                <tr id="promoteData">
                    <td class="promotionName" name="promotionName" id="promotionNm">${promotion.getFileName()}</td>
                    <td class="promotionType" name="promotionType" id="promotionType">${promotion.getFileType()}</td>
                    <td class="promotionVersion" name="promotionVersion"
                        id="promotionVer">${promotion.getFileVersion()}</td>
                    <td class="promotionRevision" name="promotionRevision"
                        id="promotionRev">${promotion.getFileRevision()}</td>
                    <td class="promotionDeveloper" name="promotionDeveloper"
                        id="promotionDev">${promotion.getFileDeveloper()}</td>
                    <td class="promotionModified" name="promotionModified"
                        id="promotionMod">${promotion.getFileModified()}</td>
                    <td class="promotionMode" name="promotionMode" id="promotionMode">${promotion.getFileMode()}</td>
                    <td class="promotionStatus" name="promotionStatus"
                        id="promotionStatus">${promotion.getFileStatus()}</td>
                    <td class="promotionClass" name="promotionClass"
                        id="promotionClass">${promotion.getFileClass()}</td>
                    <td class="promotionProject" name="promotionProject"
                        id="promotionPrj">${promotion.getFileProject()}</td>
                </tr>
            </c:forEach>
        </tbody>

Assuming you are using the Select extension you would use the selected: true selector-modifier option:

table
  .rows( { selected: true } )
  .data()
  .toArray()

Note the use of toArray() to get a plain array rather than a DataTables API instance.
