Ajax Sourced Data - Blank Columns and Fields not in a "data" wrapper.

16Labs

Is it possible to use ajax sourced data and still have blank columns used for custom coded object such as buttons? For example, I'd like to fill a table with a list of tasks but the last two columns are for "delete" and "edit" of the objects listed. Those buttons have custom links including id's from the table records.

Also in regards to data, do we have to use the "data" wrapper for the json data? My current API's provide the lists of items in an array without a "data" wrapper. The column configuration seems to require a "parent":"child" type configuration. Is it possible to provide just the child name?

Yes, columns.render can be used for this. columns.defaultContent is another option.
