jquery DataTable add ID to TR element after row is dynamically added

Question

I am using this code to init DataTable:

    $('#table-groups').dataTable( {
    "bJQueryUI": true,
    "sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
    "bFilter": false,
    "bInfo": false,
    "aLengthMenu": [[10, 25, 50, -1], [10, 25, 50, "All"]],
    "aoColumns": [
     { "sClass": "name" },
     { "sClass": "tools", "bSortable": false},
     ],     
    });

Now I am adding rows via server-side script like this:

$('#table-groups').dataTable().fnAddData( ["<strong>"+$_returnvalue.name+"</strong>","<div class=\"cell edit\"> Group ID is: "+$_returnvalue.entryid+" </div>"]);   

And my question: is there a way to insert value of $_returnvalue.entryid to be ID of the <tr> ?

Answer 1

You are not using serverside datatable here. This answer may help those who are using serverside datatable and trying to put unique ID (from serverside, based on db data).

You just have to send the ID by this key: DT_RowId (from serverside, as response). It doesn't require any change in the frontend. More details of this can be found in the following link: https://datatables.net/examples/server_side/ids.html
