How to get the data in different keys of an ajax response?

wohcknah · September 10

The structure of the ajax reponse is like below:

{
  "metadata": {
    "foo": "",
    "bar": "",
  },
  "maindata": [
    {...},
    {...},
    ...
  ]
}

I need to fill the data in "maindata" to the table body, and use the data in "metadata" for the table info. How to do it with one ajax request?

Hi allan,

"table info" refers to the "Showing xx to xx of xx entries" on the left bottom of the table (not sure what's its official name).

You can use info.callback to modify the default message if the language string options don't suit your needs.
