row remove and toData

opto

my data comes from an array.
I remove rows, they disappear from the table, but they stay in table.toData().

What am I doing wrong?

All by adding a button in each row and on click:
$this = $(this);
var dtRow = $this.parents('tr');
var table1 = $('#example1').DataTable();
table1.row(dtRow[0].rowIndex-1).remove().draw( false );

any help is appreciated,

What is toData()? As far as I know this is not a Datatables method or API.

Please post a line to your page or a test case showing the issue so we can help debug.

I am sorry, this is what I meant: table.data().toArray();

the array is not identical to the table that is visible. Thus, I was wondering what remove does: actually remove the nodes, or just make them invisible?

see https://datatables.net/reference/api/toArray()

Hi @opto ,

The docs for row().remove() state the following

This method (and its plural counterpart, rows().remove()) will remove the selected row from the DataTable completely, deleting the allocated memory for data and node from the browser.

I've put together an example for you to show this working. Could you modify this to show your issue?

Thanks,
Sandy
