Get sent parameters without server-side processing

LukasL

"When making a request to the server using server-side processing, DataTables will send the following data in order to let the server know what data is required:" https://datatables.net/manual/server-side

Is there a way to get a JSON object of that data while Datatables is in client-side mode?

I imagine it would be something along the lines of table.ajax.params() where I could call a function and have it return me a JSON object of the table's current sort, search, etc. configurations.

There are various API's that can be used such as:

• order()
• page.info()
• search()

Here is a list of them.

I am trying to get an array of column names as well and I found column().name() method. From what I understand, this method will only be available in DataTables 2.0.0?

EDIT: I have found how to get an array of columns
var columnNamesArr = table.columns().header().toArray().map(x => x.innerText);

As you said, you can use ajax.params() to get what was set to the server, or ajax.json() to get what was returned. See example here - it shows both in the console when you click the button.
