auto refresh data table

smicroz

Hi,

I'm looking to use datatable getting data from json url, using this doc. https://www.datatables.net/manual/ajax

But I need update the table without refresh website, then whats better way to do this?

I'm looking to use setinterval, it's the correct way?

Thanks,

You can use ajax.reload() to refresh with all the data using setinterval. Otherwise you will need to use the jQuery ajax() API to fetch just the new data and use either row.add() or rows.add() to add the new data to the Datatable.
