  We're happy to take a look, but as per the forum rules, please link to a test case - a test case that replicates the issue will ensure you'll get a quick and accurate response. Information on how to create a test case (if you aren't able to link to the page you are working on) is available here.

  Cheers,

  Here's where I'm at.

  fetch('myJSONfile.php').then(function(response) {
  return response.json().then(function(text) {
  data = JSON.parse(text);

  /* HELP - NEED TO KNOW HOW TO LOOP JSON OBJECT AND ADD ROWS */
  });
  });

  I just can't find any where how to do this, I want to create HTML links using ID's and names from different nodes in my JSON

          return response.json().then(function(data) {
              for(var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
                  var obj = data[i];
                  console.log(obj.id);
                  t.row.add([obj.id, '','','','','','','','','']);
              }
  

  Here's an update, I can get the ID in the console log but not in the table.

  t.row.add([obj.id, '','','','','','','','','']);

  Have you assigned t to the Datatable's API, for example: var t = ('#myTable').DataTable();?

  Looks like you are getting an array of objects in the Ajax response. I suggest you use rows.add(), ie t.rows.add( data ), instead of the loop. And use columns.data to define your object based data. See this example with objects:
  https://datatables.net/examples/ajax/objects.html

  Maybe you can also just use the ajax option instead of using fetch().
