Update Options on Existing jQuery Object
- by Vince Kronlein
I'm using Bootstrap and DataTables in my app and I have a default initializer for tables based on class. I can just add the class data-table to the table and it gets instantiated with the default values I want.
I'd like to know how to change or update specific options based on a specific table.
if ($.fn.dataTable) {
$('.data-table').dataTable( {
sDom: "R<'row'<'span6'l><'span6'f>r>t<'row'<'span6'i><'span6'p>>",
sPaginationType: "bootstrap",
oLanguage: {
"sLengthMenu": "_MENU_ records per page"
},
aoColumnDefs: [
{ "bSortable": false, "aTargets": [ 0 ] }
]
});
}
All my data tables have a checkbox in the first column so the above removal of sorting works for all of them. But I'd like to be able to update the aoColumnDefs on a table by table basis so I can add other columns that I don't want sorted.
So let's say I have a table: $('#member-list'), how do I access this object and update it's datatables options in jQuery? I can't find any reference or help anywhere.
Thanks a lot!
