columnDefs php generated

ltdeta

How should I create this javascript columndefs - data with php?

"columnDefs": [
{ "targets": [0,1], "searchable": false, "title": "column1"},
{ "targets": [2], "searchable": true, "title": "column2"}
]

the result should be

"columnDefs": data.ColumnDef     //data.ColumnDef is generated outside the datatabletable object

I think you can do this with an ajax call before datatables are initiated, just not with the same call that loads the server-side data if you are using that. Below is a correctly formatted PHP array for your columnDefs example.

$columns = 
array(
    0=>array(
       "targets"=>array(0,1),
       "searchable"=>false,
       "title"=>"column1"
    ),
    1=>array(
        "targets"=>array(0,1),
        "searchable"=>false,
        "title"=>"column1"
    )
);
echo json_encode($columns);
