access datatable properties outside the princal data table function, that is, in the scoope

Coder102

Hello, I want to access the properties of the datatable but outside of it, does anyone know how to do it? Mainly to the columns. I put a button in the datatable inside a row and I want to do it with a function outside the datatable that expands or collapses by pressing that button in the row and accessing the columns in a function that is in the scoope

Please don't post duplicate questions. You asked the same in these other threads:

Are you asking for something like this example?

no, because in the html I have nothing, I create everything directly inside the datatable in this way
and and or I want to access the properties of columns in a separate function like this

change the function that I show in the last photo for this one, but I don't know how to access the rows that are inside the data table function, my idea is to press a button and that new columns are generated

The Child Details example I linked to shows how to get the row data. Or you can look at this example.

I also have a buttons example:

Do any of these help?

If not maybe you can build a test case showing the issue so we can help debug.

Please build a running test case that we can help you with. Trying to debug pages of code is not easy.

, I want the other columns "Read", "Task", "Write" to be displayed with the button that is in the total row. The name of the button is btnExpandCollapse

How do you want them displayed, in a modal maybe?

I want to click on the btnExpandCollapse button to show the columns of "Read", "Task", "Write" that are inside the datatable.

I want to click on the btnExpandCollapse button to show the columns of "Read", "Task", "Write" that are inside the datatable.

I see you have them set to hidden using columns.visible. The column().visible() or columns().visible() can be used to unhide the columns. IS this what you want?
