Description of problem: I have figured out how to pull the url from a currently hidden column that is passed to the first name column. The first person in this list does not have the url data, but the hyperlink is showing anyway, it's just an empty url. I would like to figure out how to only show that hyperlink on the first name if the data in the url exists.

I'm using this columnDefs to pull the url:

"targets": [0],
"data": "url",
"render": function(data, type, full, meta){
return '<a href='+full.url+'>'+data+'</a>';

Add an if condition:

if (full.url === '') {
  return '';
}
