Link to test case:
Debugger code (debug.datatables.net):
$('#emailLink').on('click', function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
var email = 'test@gmail.com';
var subject = 'test';
var tableHeader = ['Clip Name', 'Game ID', 'Play ID', 'Creation Time','Pre Signed URL'];
var emailBody = new Array();
$('#dataTable tbody').on('click', 'tr', function(){
var rowData = (table.row(this).data());
$.each(rowData, function(key, value) {
/*alert(tableHeader[key] + ':' + value);*/
emailBody.push(tableHeader[key] + ':' + value);
});
cosole.log(emailBody);/*returns an array*/
});
alert(emailBody);/*returns an empty array*/
window.location = 'mailto:' + email + '?subject=' + subject + '&body=' + emailBody;
});

Line 13 should give an error as
cosoleis not valid.Line 15 shows an empty array because the code in the click event, lines 7-14 wont; execute until you click a row. This click event won't be created until you click the
#emailLinkbutton.The Select extension would work well for this. With it you can select the rows to email and when you click the
#emailLinkbutton it can email to the selected rows. See this example to learn how to get the select rows. Userows().every()with the{ selected: true }selector-modifierto loop through all the selected rows. This will replace lines 7-14.Kevin
