Exporting datatable to Excel

jstuardo

Hello,

I need to program an export functionality and even when I am including "Buttons" plugin, I am not using it in the toolbar because I am using custom buttons. I need only to use exportData functionality of the plugin, however, when I do something like:

var table = $('#myTable').DataTable();

var data = table.buttons.exportData();

I got the error:

Page:542 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'exportData' of undefined
    at HTMLButtonElement.<anonymous> (Page:542)
    at HTMLButtonElement.dispatch (jquery-3.5.0.js:5429)
    at HTMLButtonElement.elemData.handle (jquery-3.5.0.js:5233)

If that way does not work, is there a way I can retrieve the posted data to a remote server (this is an ajax source)?

My idea, in this case, is to call the same URL of the Ajax parameter with the same posted data but adding a new parameter to allow exporting.

Any advice will be appreciated

Thanks

Jaime
