Obtain the DT API instance from initComplete.

washuit-iamm

Is this right?

initComplete: function (settings, json) {
    var self = this.api();
}

Or do I need to go from settings?

initComplete: function (settings, json) {
    var table = settings.oInstance.api();
}

Difference?

(settings.oInstance.api() == this.api()); // FALSE!!!!

Hi @washuit-iamm ,

Yep, use the top one, see example here. As the manual says for DataTables.Settings, the settings "object is considered to be private in terms of the DataTables API and reading or writing to the values in the object is not supported."

Cheers,
