write "titleAttr" to variable

abickford

I have created a custom button that runs a function to create a word document. One of the inputs to the dataTable is a "titleAttr" value (which specifies the type of table). I want to write the titleAttr value to a variable that I will pass to a function that will create a table. The code:

The function that manages the custom button:

//Data Table WordButton creator
$.fn.dataTable.ext.buttons.word = {
    className: 'buttons-word',
 
   action: function ( e, dt, node, config ) {
                var colhead = dt.columns().header().toArray().map(x => x.innerText); //The table headers
            var colfooter = dt.footer().toArray().map(x => x.innerText);  //The table footer
            var table = dt.rows().data();  // The table itself
                     var tableTitle = ???
                    genWordTbl(colhead, colfooter, table, tableTitle); //The code to create and download a word document
        } //action function....
}

The creation of the custom button:

    $('#summtab').DataTable( {
                dom: 'Bfrtip',
        buttons: [
        { 
         extend: 'word',
         titleAttr: fileName, <- this is the value I want to write to genWordTbl 
         text: "Word",
         footer : true
        },
     {Other buttons...}

How do I recover the value of titleAttr and write it to the genWordTbl function?
I have to note that with the other buttons (csv, excel, and PDF) this functionality exists.
TIA

In your action function, config.titleAttr will give you the value of whatever titleAttr is been set to (in this case whatever fileName is.
