Hi everybody,
I'm trying to generate a dynamic DataTable according to a variable $_GET. So I generate a string according to the columns name and their type (only important for dates so I can sort them even if they're formatted).
My problem is that when I do columns: s_dynamicColumns,
I have in my console this Error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot use 'in' operator to search for 'length' in [" and the DataTable is not generate.
The thing that I don't understand is when I console.log my variable I've got this :
[{"title": "Prénom"},{"title": "Nom"},{"title": "Poste"},{"title": "Date d'arrivée", 'type': 'date-eu'},{"title": "Salaire"}]
and when I copy/paste this like this :
columns: [{"title": "Prénom"},{"title": "Nom"},{"title": "Poste"},{"title": "Date d'arrivée", "type": "date-eu"},{"title": "Salaire"}],
it works.
I've noticed that to generate the DataTable I can take off all the line "columns: ...," and it works but in that case I can't sort my dates anymore.
Do you have any ideas of where the problem come from ?
There is my javascript file :
$(document).ready(function(){
var s_variableGet = window.location.search.substring(1);
var a_split = s_variableGet.split("=", 2);
var o_dataSet = decodeURI(a_split[1]);
o_dataSet = JSON.parse(o_dataSet);
var a_columns = o_dataSet['columns'];
var a_rows = o_dataSet['rows'];
var s_dynamicColumns = "[";
for(var z=0; z < a_columns.length; z++){
if(a_columns[z]['type'] == 'date'){
var type = ", 'type': 'date-eu'";
}else{var type = '';}
if(z == 0){
s_dynamicColumns+= '{"title": "'+ a_columns[z]["nom"] + '"'+type+'}';}
else{
s_dynamicColumns+= ',{"title": "'+ a_columns[z]["nom"] + '"'+type+'}';
}
$('#resultat-requete thead tr').append('<th>'+a_columns[z]['nom']+'</th>');
}
s_dynamicColumns+= "]";
var hauteurGrid = $(window).height() - 120;
console.log(s_dynamicColumns);
tableResultatRequete = $('#resultat-requete').on('preXhr.dt', function (e, settings, data) {
}).DataTable({
data: a_rows,
scrollY: hauteurGrid,
order: [],
//columns: s_dynamicColumns, <-- there is the way that doesn't work
// [{"title": "Prénom"},{"title": "Nom"},{"title": "Poste"},{"title": "Date d'arrivée", 'type': 'date-eu'},{"title": "Salaire"}] <-- there is the console.log of "s_dynamicColumns"
columns: [{"title": "Prénom"},{"title": "Nom"},{"title": "Poste"},{"title": "Date d'arrivée", "type": "date-eu"},{"title": "Salaire"}], // <-- there is the way who works in this example but which is not dynamic at all
info: false,
lengthChange: false,
paging: true,
searching: true,
language: {
url: 'js/dataTables.french.json'
}
});
jQuery.extend(jQuery.fn.dataTableExt.oSort, {
"date-eu-pre": function (a) {
var a_euDate = a.split('-');
return (a_euDate[2] + a_euDate[1] + a_euDate[0]) * 1;
},
"date-eu-asc": function (a, b) {
return ((a < b) ? -1 : ((a > b) ? 1 : 0));
},
"date-eu-desc": function (a, b) {
return ((a < b) ? 1 : ((a > b) ? -1 : 0));
}
});
});
Thanks a lot !
