How to load using string array?

rusumat

Hi, I living a problem when data load using string array.
My codes;

var agendaSplit = "Row 1[&]Row 2[&]Row 3[&]Row 4[&]Row 5".split('[&]');
$('#AgendaListTable').DataTable({
        "info": true,
        dom: 'Bfrtip',
        buttons: ['excel', 'pdf', 'print'],
        data: agendaSplit,
        language: {
            "url": "//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/1.10.15/i18n/English.json",
            buttons: {
            }
        }
    });

Result;

I don't want to this.

I want this but I can't;

Can you help me?

var agendaSplit = "Row 1[&]Row 2[&]Row 3[&]Row 4[&]Row 5".split('[&]');

Results in this:
["Row 1", "Row 2", "Row 3", "Row 4", "Row 5"]

But what you really need is for each row to be in its own array. Something more like this:
[["Row 1"], ["Row 2"], ["Row 3"], ["Row 4"], ["Row 5"]]

@kthorngren thank you for the answer. I solved in following way;

var agendaSplit = "Row 1[&]Row 2[&]Row 3[&]Row 4[&]Row 5".split('[&]');
    var model = [];
    for (i = 0; i < agendaSplit.length; i++){
        model.push([agendaSplit[i], _removebutton]);
    }
    return $('#AgendaListTable').DataTable({
        "info": true,
        dom: 'Bfrtip',
        buttons: ['excel', 'pdf', 'print'],
        data: model,
        language: {
            "url": "//cdn.datatables.net/plug-ins/1.10.15/i18n/English.json",
            buttons: {
            }
        }
    });

Finally, yes, we solved my problem but I wonder is there another way? I wonder is there a faster solution?

For example 'for' instead of what else can be used?

You could use Array.prototype.map and a fat arrow function:

"...".split('[&]').map( x => [x] );

Or old style:

"...".split('[&]').map( function ( x ) {
  return [ x ];
} );
