How can I make only the data table auto refresh after every 2 minutes

Question

I am creating inbox mail at automatically refresh after 2 minutes, that displays new mail display in the datatable. How can refresh my datatable?

Answer 1

So you are using serverside processing. sth like this:

$(document).ready(function () {
   var table = $('#TableID').DataTable({
      "processing": true,
      "serverSide": true,
      //any other configuration options
      "ajax": "path/to/processor"
});

you can force it auto refresh making table's ajax param to reload every 120 second:

setInterval(function () {
      table.ajax.reload();
  }, 120000);

Answer 2

Considering you're using server-side processing for the Ajax-sourced datatable, all you need to do is redraw the table after every 2 minutes.

You can use Javascript's setInterval() function

var oTable = $("#mytable").DataTable({
                  'serverSide': 'true'
             });

After initialisation, use setInterval() to redraw the table with your desired time.

setInterval(function(){
    oTable.draw();
}, 120000);
