using ids() after adding new rows

mason123

Hi
Hope someone could help. I need to be able to get a list of id's inside the table. For example if I have 10 rows I'd have a list of 10 ids which I'm using table.rows().ids().toArray(); that works but later if I do table.row.add() and then rerun the ids() it does not see the newly added row's id. How can I overcome this?

Thanks

What you described works in this example:

Please post a link to your page or a test case showing the issue so we can help debug. Feel free to update my example.

Thanks! That worked with your example!

This is an example of how I did it and every time the new rows would return undefined for some reason, please see below

(function someFunction() {
console.log(table.rows().ids());
var RandID = Math.floor(Math.random() * 6) + 1;
var addedRowNode = table.row.add(
      {
       "first_name":"Bradley",
       "last_name":"Greer",
       "position":"Software Engineer",
       "office":"London",
       "start_date":"13th Oct 12",
       "salary":"$132,000"}
    ).draw();

    var rowNode = addedRowNode.node();

    rowNode.id = RandID;

setTimeout(someFunction, 15000);
})();

So the fix was using

var addedRowNode = table.row.add(
      {"DT_RowId":RandID,
       "first_name":"Bradley",
       "last_name":"Greer",
       "position":"Software Engineer",
       "office":"London",
       "start_date":"13th Oct 12",
       "salary":"$132,000"}
    ).draw();

and removed

rowNode.id = RandID;

Hope this helps others if they come across the same thing. And thanks again for your time.
