Ok, Please post an example of the parsed data and your Datatables init code. Also post any alert messages or console message you receive.

here is an example of my code with the log the invalid error message json so i understand that he can not read it

kthorngren · November 2018

The invalid json message is probably due to the incorrect use of the ajax option. It does expect a URL to fetch the data.

My suggestion would be to remove the Datatables ajax config. Then in your readTextFile function use rows.add() and draw() to populate the table. Where you have console.log(test); try the following table_companies.rows.add( test ).draw();.

Not sure if your data structure matches the columns.data config but it should work if they match. When you are initializing Datatables you have lower case d for dataTable(). You will want to change it to upper case like this: DataTable({ ... }); to get the API. See this FAQ:

great
we made a lot of progress here so I go with another error tn / 4 error table id unknows parametre..normal since there is no id but the lokijs parameter for id is $ lokijs: 1, $ lokijs2, etc ...

kthorngren · November 2018

You didn't post the actual data structure for each row so I'm not sure. Did you follow the troubleshooting steps in the link provided in the error?
https://datatables.net/manual/tech-notes/4

Basically your data structure doesn't match what you defined in the columns option.

ok here console log:

my html code:

error message:

kthorngren · November 2018

It looks like your first two elements (rows) have different objects than the remaining rows. The error states that its looking for the property nom which doesn't appear to exists in the first row. Maybe you can eliminate the first two rows from your data?

i create new json file here
https://petit-fichier.fr/2018/11/16/objet/
look this log name is ok
https://gyazo.com/6ad19a911e1ed63f83dc6ca7e4e6e8c6
I have to miss something but I do not know what
thank for your big help

kthorngren · November 2018

I'm unable to open the first link. But comparing your array of objects to the original screenshot of the Datatables config there are some differences.

In Datatables you defined a functions column which isn't in your data. Also I the property names might be case sensitive so you need to fix Entree_le and commentaire. Both data structures need to match.

As a side note it would be easier if you copied the text into the thread instead of using screenshots.

I pasted some of the code here

https://codepen.io/tycoons/pen/MzvaLb
i try to change

kthorngren · November 2018

The code doesn't seem to run. But I do see one issue. You have this:

$('#table_companies').dataTable({
     "type": "GET",
    "data": "test",
    "dataType": "json",

When I suggested removing the ajax I meant for you to remove all the options within which were 'type', 'data', 'dataType'.

I made the other two changes I suggested:

 console.log(test);
  
  // add the rows
  table_companies.rows().add( test ).draw();

});
  // On page load: datatable
 var table_companies = $('#table_companies').DataTable({
     //"type": "GET",
    //"data": "test",
    //"dataType": "json",
    "columns": [

Try that and let us know.

Hi Kevin,
I applied the patches and modify the fields to avoid being sensitive to the box but this shot so I have an error message different
No data available in table and this error
Uncaught TypeError: table_companies.rows(...).add is not a function

kthorngren · November 2018

Sorry, incorrect syntax on my part. You want to use rows.add() so it looks like this:
table_companies.rows.add( test ).draw();

Note the removed () after rows.
