Reset to default 3Instead of manipulating the initial data array, I remend using the DataTables API methods like row.add()
and draw()
to update the data. If you need the data after the initialisation, you can access it with the data()
method.
This JSFiddle might help you.
Persist the data table in a global js variable- dataTable
. Once you dataSet
changes, just destroy dataTable
and initialize it again.
if(dataTable != null)
dataTable.destroy();
dataTable = $('#example').dataTable( {
"data": dataSet,
"columns": [
{ "title": "Engine" },
{ "title": "Browser" },
{ "title": "Platform" },
{ "title": "Version", "class": "center" },
{ "title": "Grade", "class": "center" }
]
});
