I have a json on a server that contains data for a number of components including one datatable. When this json get's loaded, I want to set the datatables data and have it draw. I can make it work by making a separate ajax call just fine. But I would really prefer to just fetch the json (which can be big) once.
Separate Ajax Call
table.ajax.url(dataset_url).load().draw().columns.adjust().responsive.recalc();
What I really want to do.
var jqxhr = $.get( dataset_url, function(data) {
// set the data of other components on screen
...
// load the table data
table.data = data.data
table.draw().columns.adjust().responsive.recalc();
})

rows.add()is the way to add the rows. You can useclear()to clear the current table data if needed.Kevin
Works perfectly. Thanks!
