How to set the 'targets' dynamically in columnDefs

Liza

I want to change the column visibility based upon the column name. I Do not want to hard code the value for targets like 2 or 3 and also I do not want to set based on the class name

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('.datatable_tri').dataTable({
         'columnDefs': [ { 'type': 'file-size', 'targets': 1 }  ],
            'aaSorting': [],
            'iDisplayLength': 50
    });
});

I also tried using 'columnDefs': [ { 'type': 'file-size', 'title': SIZE } ], but ut does'nt work.

PS : Size is the of column header

Please don't post duplicates :-)

Regarding your question, would targeting by class name work for you?

Why would it not work for you?

To answer your question other than that, no it isn't possible.
