ajax.reload() is not reflected in column.data()

cantthinkofonerightnow

Hello,

After running ajax.reload the data displayed changes on my table but the following function is not returning the new unique values:

function testFunc () {
var table = $('#myTable').DataTable();
column.data().unique().sort().each( function ( d, j ) {
console.log(d);
} );
}

What would be the cause of this behaviour?

My guess is you are calling testFunc () before the asynchronous ajax.reload() process is complete. The first parameter of the ajax.reload() is a callback function you can provide to call the testFunc () after the table has been updated.

If this doesn't help then please provide more details/code about your implementation. A link to your page or test case showing the issue will greatly help us understand what you are doing.
