How to send 2 ajax json files ?

islamelshobokshy

I want to send 2 ajax json files to datatables, one to be used to the body, and one for the footer in the FooterCallback. How can I do so?

Hi @islamelshobokshy ,

For the body, you would let DataTables do the Ajax legwork, as in the examples in this section here.

For the footer, you would just make a handcrafted Ajax request in the footerCallback, then parse and load that data yourself.

Hope that helps,

Cheers,

Thanks for your replies! Can the footer use a json object if I made the ajax call somewhere else?

The footerCallback just needs access to the data that you want to use - so it can reference a global variable, initiate an Ajax call to get the data itself, or just use it's own logic.
