Filling two table with one datatable code in one page

Vuqar

Hello,
Can I fill two table in one asp mvc 5 page with one datatable filling code. My code like this:

jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
createDataTable("#table1");
createDataTable("#table2");
})

function createDataTable(tableName) {
dbObjectsTableContainer = $(tableName);

dbObjectsTable = dbObjectsTableContainer.dataTable({
    "sPaginationType": "bootstrap",

...
...
}

If i delete one of the createDataTable("#tableX"); function caller there are not any exception, but when I call function two times I get exception:

jquery.dataTables.js?v=20190712095952:4107 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'nTr' of undefined

Please help...

You can use jQuery to determine if the element exists before you initialize the Datatable. Something like this:

if ( $(tableName).length > 0 ) {
  // init the Datatable
}
