Assign Data fetched by ajax to a variable

sarthaks21

Hey All!

I'm using a datatable whose data source is fetched through ajax, i.e.,

var  top_level_table =  $('#table_L1').DataTable(
    {
        serverSide: true,
        "ajax" : {
            "url" : "static/tableviewer/table_contents.json",
            'dataSrc' : 'data_root'
        },
        dom: 't',
        searching: false,
        paging: false,
        bInfo: false,
        fixedHeader: true,
        columns: columns_datatable,
        responsive: true
    });

I want to store the data the ajax fetches in a variable for future usage.
Thanks for your time!

You can get the last data sent by calling ajax.json(),
