Display detailed info in modal without making ajax calls

kabeza

Hi

I've been given a json datasource which I use with PHP to retrieve data to build my Datatable manually.
I mean, it is not serverside (yet). This json datasource has almost no parameters to query

Each record from json response has around 20 fields, but I only show in the table only 6, 7, the most important ones.
Each table's row has a small button with lupe icon in the last column

Is there a way to open a modal/lightbox and show all the other fields when clicking that button, without making ajax calls again? The json datasource has no param to query and give a specific record based on ID

Maybe there's some way to hide detailed info for each row and show all 20 fields in the modal when clicking each button

Thanks a lot for any tips/ideas you can give me

This example shows how to get the row data of a clicked row. This example shows one way to add buttons to a row and get the row data of the clicked button.

With the row().data() API used in these examples you will have access to all 20 fields even though you show only a subset. You can populate the modal with this data.
