I have a table that is loading data with an ajax call, I am using dataSrc to manipulate the data before rendering it.
var opportunitiesTable = $('#opportunityList').DataTable({
initComplete: function( settings, json ) {
// Table loaded! Show what is in column 3
console.log(this.api().column(3).data());
},
ajax: {
url: "/ajax/opportunity/GetOpportunitiesByNetwork",
dataSrc: function(res) {
//console.log(res);
if (typeof (res) === "object" && res.ResponseCode === 200) {
opportunityData = res.Data;
return opportunityData;
} else {
// Else show API error message
}
}
}
});
What gets console logged
["-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", "-", …]
Table renders correctly though...

Without being able to see your data its hard to say what the problem is. For help with troubleshooting please post a link to your page or a test case replicating the issue.

I tried to replicate my page on this JSFiddle. My local page does not show the alert error that the JSFiddle example does but the data is a sample of the data I am loading locally.
In the JSFiddle example when I console log the column data it returns an array of nulls.
