show every column in dataset

walczak

I know that i have to define every column by hand:

i.e.

columns: [
            {data: "offer_id" },
            {data: "number"}
        ]

Is there an option to show automaticaly every Datacolumn from the ajax request?

ajax resonse is like this
data.id
data.number
data.name
data.stringOne
data.stringTwo
data.stringThree

And i do not want to define every data paramter from hand.
Perhaps something like this?

columns: [all]

or ?

columns: [function ( ) {
                            allcolumns.forEach(function(value) {
                             ...?..;
                            });
                            return value;]

Any idead how to solve an elastic column definition?

You need to use jQuery ajax instead of ajax for dynamic columns. This example shows building the columns from the first row of data from the ajax response.
