Populating DataTables with JSON in JavaScript Array

mscola

I have an array with JSON in it called customers.
How do I load this data into the Datatable?

$('#all_customers_table').DataTable( {
          dataSrc: 'customers',
      } );

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. Any ideas on how to add a JSON array into a DataTable?

Hi mscola,

You need to be using the data option inside your DataTable function call.

The manual explains this. For you, it is probably best to please refer to the Arrays and Data Sources - Javascript sections. Here is the link - https://datatables.net/manual/data/

I've also written up a week example for you which can be found at this link - http://live.datatables.net/zakanota/1/edit

Hopefully this helps,

Sandy
