Using api in the defaults setting

Description of problem:
I'd like to make the render code in the test case available to all tables, using the default settings, something like this:

$.extend(true, $.fn.dataTable.defaults, {
    columnDefs: [{targets: 'no-sort', orderable: false},
        {targets: '_all', render: function(data, type, row, meta) {
                var api = $('#example').DataTable();
                return type === 'export'? $(api.cell(meta.row, meta.col).node()).attr('data-export') : data;
            }
        }
    ]
});

But there's a reference to the #example table. How can I change that?

Thanks

You can use meta to get an API instance - which would make your function more generic. Something like:

        var api = new $.fn.dataTable.Api( meta.settings );
