getting custom data attributes with data
getting custom data attributes with data
Hi
I just updated to DataTables version 2 from version 1.
Earlier when calling row().data() the data retrieved was an json object and keys was either the data-data attribute on the th or the index.
example:
html: ".....<th></th><th datat-data='template'></th>....."
calling row().data() returned: {"0":"<div>...</div>", "template":"<div>....</div>"}
version 2 returns an array of columns data, but i now miss the identifier "template" that i used earlier to get the specific data i needed.
example:
html: ".....<th></th><th datat-data='template'></th>....."
calling row().data() returns: ["<div>...</div>", "<div>....</div>"]
is it possible to set a custom data attribute on the tr or th, so i can identify the given column i wish to get the data from, something like the data-sort attribute is included in the array object.
example:
html: ".....<th></th><th datat-data='template'></th>.....<td data-sort='test'>...</td>"
calling row().data() returns: ["<div>...</div>", {"display":""<div>...</div>"","@data-sort":"test"}]

Hi Allan
Just to clarify, it is more a "how do i" than an issue. because i am missing a feature that was in version 1.

Thanks for the link!
I actually don't see the
template
property included in the result fromrow().data()
if I update it to use DataTables 1.13.11 (or 1.11.0 or 1.12.0).However, I see your point - how to get that data. If it was included in DataTables before, that was more of a happy accident than something that was planned. What to do is use
cell().node()
and read the attribute from thetd
element directly.I don't seem to be able to fork your CodePen, but:
should do it.

Hi Allan
thank you for your answer. I managed by finding index of th with attribute data-name, and then getting data from row().data() with the found index.
kind regards
