Question about pluck() and column ID & ColReorder

lenamtl

Hi,

Is this possible to use pluck() with the column number
var itemId = table1.rows( { selected: true } ).data().pluck(2).toArray();

Because when using pluck(2) if the column get reordered the value is no good anymore
I have set the column not to be reordered as a quick fix.

I saw that is possible to use form field name
pluck('name')

But I'm wondering if the is possible to use it with column real ID / index
same as statesave so if let say column 9 move it is possible to retreive the data.
"ColReorder":[0,1,2,9,3,4,5,6,7,8,10]

Since you are using arrays you can use columns.name to provide a name for one or more columns. Then use column-selector, example code, with -column().index() to get the column index. Use that for pluck(). This example should help explain it:

Thanks a lot columns.name is more reliable...

I endup with this

var myindex = table1.column('myid:name').index();
var selectedid = table1.rows( { selected: true } ).data().pluck(myindex).toArray();
