Column names from string array

How to populate datatables' column names from string array, ex. ["Payee Id","Payee Name","Payee Email"]?

Many thanks

Hi @ebagaipo ,

You can just iterate over that array and create the initialisation object for DataTables. The option you want is either columns.name or columns.title.

Cheers,

Hi Colin,

Thank you for the hint.

This works for me:

        var columnNames = columnDescriptions.split(',');
        var mDataArray = new Array();
        var keys = Object.keys(columnNames);
        for (var i = 0; i < keys.length; i++) {
            var temp = new Object();
            if (columnNames[i].toString().length > 0) {
                temp["sTitle"] = columnNames[i].toString();
                mDataArray.push(temp);
            }
        }
