How to make datatable specific column editable?
There are various questions put up on this topic but I do not understand them so can anyone help here is my js code
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#myModal').toggle();
var List = [];
$.ajax({
url: '/urls/' + id,
type: 'POST',
dataType: "json",
data: 'data',
success: function (data) {
console.log("data length: ", data.length);
console.log("data : ", data);
for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
var Logs = {};
Logs.Info = data[i].Info;
for (var j = 0; j < Logs.Info.length; j++) {
var emplist = {};
emplist.Name = Logs.Info[j].Name;
emplist.dates = Logs.Info[j].dates;
for (var k = 0; k < emplist.dates.length; k++) {
var datelist = {};
datelist.Name = emplist.Name;
datelist.startDate = emplist.dates[k].startDate;
datelist.endDate = emplist.dates[k].endDate;
List.push(datelist);
}
}
}
emptablee = $('#Table').DataTable({
"data": List,
"columns": [
{"data": "Name"},
{"data": "startDate"},
{"data": "endDate"},
],
destroy: true,
"scrollY": "200px",
"scrollCollapse": true,
"paging": false
});
/*emptablee.destroy();*/
}
});
$("#close").on('click', function () {
$("#myModal").hide();
});
});
There are three columns in the table and I want to make a specific columns cell-like editable and show an input box and get the value edited to send.
For anyone checking this now, I've created a custom example in which you can make any column editable by just sending it in a metadata request from serverside.
