DataTable - i18n() function inside constructor

pacionet

I defined something like that

 $.extend( true, $.fn.dataTable.defaults, {
 [...]
"language": {
      "url": contextPath + "/resources/i18n/jquery.datatable.messages_" + GLOBAL_LOCALE + ".json"
    },
[...]

When I define a dataTable how can I access i18n function inside datatable?

 var table = $('#table').DataTable({
[...]

  "columns": [
              {"data": "project.name"},
              {"data": "project.title"}, 
              {
                "data": function (row, data, index) {
                       // HERE HOW CAN I INVOKE i18n() function? this.i18n('token','default') doesn't work.            
                     }


})

Hi @pacionet ,

columns.data wouldn't be the right place, it would be better to use columns.render,

Thanks but how can I access the dataTable object inside columns.render ?

 "render": function ( data, type, row, meta ) {
      // HERE HOW CAN I INVOKE i18n()  function?
   }

Hi @pacionet ,

You could do something like this here - it's getting a table object within the columns.render function,
