rows().nodes() selector to get all cells of a column given by name

trucmuche2005

Hello,

I would like to access each cell of the column named by {name: 'option'} using "columns" parameter to make something like

$(document).ready(function() {
$('#tableMDS').on('xhr.dt', function ( e, settings, json, xhr ) {
        initCompleteFunction(settings, json);
    } );
...
});
function initCompleteFunction(settings, json){
var api = new $.fn.dataTable.Api( settings );
$( '.myclass', api.rows().nodes() ).something();   // HERE but only for the cells in the 'option' column and not for all cells of the datatable
}

I did not found out how to do this. Could you help me please ?

Many thanks in advance.

you are probably using the wrong event.

column render or createdRow. Let us know what you are trying to do to the row/column we probably could come up with a better recommendation

Use cells().every() with a suitable column selector:

table.cells( null, 'salary:name' ).every( function () {
  ...
} );

Thank you very much. I got this which works perfectly now (thanks again !) :

$('#matable').on('xhr.dt', function ( e, settings, json, xhr ) {
    new $.fn.dataTable.Api( settings ).one( 'draw', function () {
      initCompleteFunction(settings, json);
    } );
} );

but I can't manage to make the following working :

function initCompleteFunction(settings, json){
var api = new $.fn.dataTable.Api( settings );
api.cells(null, 'statut:name').every(function(){
        $( '.select2', this ).select2(); // This doesn't work
    });
...

I tried $( '.select2', $(this) ).select2();, $( '.select2', this.to$() ).select2();but nothing works...

Could you help me please once again (I think it's my last question for a moment :-)) ?
Many many thanks in advance !

this is not a node so no, that wouldn't work.

You'd need to use cells().nodes() to get the nodes. For example:

api.cells( null, 'statut:name' ).nodes().to$().select2();
