Getting rows values as array

jigar311982

Hello,

I am trying to get multiple selected rows values as an array but unfortunately it comes as object only,

    console.log(table.rows({'.selected').data());

     var ids = jQuery.map(table.rows('.selected').data(), function (item) {
        return item[3];
    });

    console.log(ids);

by using this code i am getting

[object, object, object,context:array[1]....]

but i could not get like...

[array, array, array...]

What is wrong with this?

Thanks, if you need test page link let me know.

Use the toArray() method to convert a DataTables API instance to an array.

theArray=[];
var myValues= $('#miTabla').DataTable();

                $('#miTabla tbody').on('click', 'tr', function () {
                    $(this).toggleClass('selected');
                });


                var ids = $.map(myValues.rows('.selected').data(), function (item) {
                    theArray.push(item.yourColumn);

                });

A slightly easier way:

var ids = myValues.rows( { selected: true } ).data().pluck( 'yourColumn' ).toArray();

That uses the selector-modifier to get the selected rows and then pluck() to get the data from the specific data point needed.
