How can I recieve custom vars from server?

mps_sudipta

Like the example where we can send custom vars to the server, how can I receive some additional json vars sent by server? I need to change the datatables rendering based on some serverside settings, but as I need those only while I draw/redraw the table I don't want to fire two separate calls each time....is there a way to do this?

Listen for the xhr event: http://datatables.net/docs/DataTables/1.9.4/DataTable.html#xhr

Can you please provide a sample code regarding how to do that from outside fnServerData?

[code]
$('#example').on('xhr', function ( e, o, json ) {
// do something with the json
} );
[/code]
