Get column name

david.papini

Hi, i need to retrieve the column name by index. I use DataTable version 1.10.18

Can you help me?

The column().header() API can be used for this.

Thank you, but so i've the title or description of my column.

I need the name that i wrote into columndef of my datatatable

Are you saying you used columns.name? If so the docs show how to refer to it in the Datatables API's.

i' ve another question.
i load datatable with

    var d = JSON.parse(data);
    console.log(d);

    var t = d[0].ListinoCollection.filter(function (e) {
        return e.IsOrdinabile;
    }
    );

    arrDtOrineFornitore = t.slice();

    return d[0].ListinoCollection.filter(function (e) {
        return e.IsOrdinabile;
    }
    );

i hope that arrDtOrineFornitore is indipendent from datatable modify, but when i do

            this.cell(this.index(), col[i]).data(5);

i found the relative column into array modified.

I'm not following that, sorry. Please could you create a test case to demonstrate it. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

Cheers,
