Hi support,

I try to create dynamic table using dataTable like discussion in here https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/29260/dynamic-column-headers-via-ajax.

but my Json return was an object and array.

here my json Look like

{
"data":[
{"tg":"2016-03-25","ves":"Attaka 0","datax":[0,0,0,0,0]},
{"tg":"2016-03-26","ves":"Attaka 0","datax":[0,0,0,0,0]},
{"tg":"2016-03-27","ves":"Attaka 0","datax":[0,0,0,0,0]},
{"tg":"2016-03-28","ves":"Attaka 0","datax":[460.512,332.244,0,207.244,0]},
{"tg":"2016-03-29","ves":"Attaka 0","datax":[0,0,0,0,0]},{"tg":"2016-03-30","ves":"Attaka 0","datax":[311.123,0,311.123,245.381,362.373]},

}

and my jqeury was

$("#report1").click(function (e) {
       $.ajax({
            
            "url": "api/report/",
            "success": function (json) {
                
                var tableHeaders;
                $.each(json.columns, function (i, val) {
                    //console.log(val);
                    tableHeaders += "<th>" + val + "</th>";
                });

                $("#reportUnitTable").empty();
                $("#reportUnitTable").append('<table id="rUnit" class="table display table-bordered" style="width:100%" ><thead><tr>' + tableHeaders + '</tr></thead></table>');
               
                var d = $('#rUnit').dataTable();

                $.each(json.data, function(i,val){
                    console.log(val.tg);
                    //d.column.data(val.tg);
                    d.columns({ data: val.tg });
                    //d.columns().data(val.ves);
                    for (var k = 0; k < val.datax.length; k++) {
                        console.log(val.datax[k]);
                        //d.columns().data(val.datax[k]);
                    }
                });

              
            },
            "dataType": "json"
        });

    You can't modify columns after initialisation I'm afraid. You need to set them up using columns. See this FAQ.

    hi allan,

    may be your suggest was right. but i have some difficulties to implement column set reference. hopely any examples which can i adopt.

    one more, is it possible to create iteration in datables to set each column and each data?

    I'm afraid I don't understand your question.

    As for how to implement it, you would simply use:

    $('#myTable').DataTable( {
      columns: json.columns,
      data: json.data
    } );
