in DataTables
Hello,
I'm using datatable in my js files and I would like to get all unique data in a specific column.
This is my code :
return $(tableSelector).DataTable().column(colSelector).data().unique()
It works fine but the return object does not contain only the cell values (strings), but also a lot of different functions :
data: D(4)
0: "Other"
1: "Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments)"
2: "Research Organisations"
3: "Not defined"
$: ƒ ()
ajax: {__dt_wrapper: true, json: ƒ, params: ƒ, reload: ƒ, url: ƒ}
cell: ƒ ()
cells: ƒ ()
clear: ƒ ()
column: ƒ ()
...
How I am supposed to get only the cell values (first 4 items in the object) ?
Thanks.

The
unique()API returns an API instance along with the array of data. You can chain thetoArray()API to get just the Javascript array.Kevin
It worked, perfect thank you !
