Menu
I have a table that is made in the $( document ).ready function. I am also using the jQuery DataTables plugin. For some reason, when the page loads, the table loads but the first row says "No Data Available in Table".
HTML
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/path/to/css/jquery.dataTables.css">
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="/path/to/js/jquery.dataTables.js"></script>
</head>
<div class="col-sm-12" id="ovs-sum">
<table class="table table-striped" id="summary-table">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Order</th>
<th>Planner</th>
<th>Vendor</th>
<th>SKU</th>
<th>Description</th>
<th>Quantity</th>
<th>PO Date</th>
<th>PO Tracking</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
JS/jQuery (scripts.js)
$ ( document ).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'models/summary.php',
mimeType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
$.each(data, function(i, data) {
var body = "<tr>";
body += "<td>" + data.name + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.address + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.phone_no + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.birthday + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.color + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.car + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.hobbies + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.relatives + "</td>";
body += "</tr>";
$( body ).appendTo( $( "tbody" ) );
});
},
error: function() {
alert('Fail!');
}
});
/*DataTables instantiation.*/
$( "#summary-table" ).DataTable();
}
Also, if I click on the sort arrows on the column headers, all of my data disappears and I'm just left with my column headers and "No data available in table.".
This problem exists in IE, Chrome, and FireFox. Here is what I've tried so far:
-I've tried Placing the $( "#summary-table" ).DataTable(); before my AJAX call. That did not work.
-I tried to replace $( body ).appendTo( $( "tbody" ) ); with $( "tbody" ).append( body );`. That did not work.
-I googled. A lot of SO questions and other sites that have this issue have a solution related to bad table structure, but I cannot find where my table structure is going wrong. Looking in inspect element, it has my appended rows, plus a bunch of HTML that DataTables produces. No errors in the console.
How can I get DataTables to work with my current data? What are any potential errors that I am overlooking?

DataTable({bFilter: false, bInfo: false, paging: false}); It works fine.
What is Angular DataTables? Angular DataTables is a library for building complex HTML tables that uses jQuery's DataTables plugin. It is configured to support TypeScript and optimized for Angular 2+. Angular DataTables will come in handy when: You have a very large dataset coming in from one or more API endpoints.
Please try to initiate the dataTable after your AJAX loaded table is appended on body.
$ ( document ).ready(function() {
$.ajax({
type: 'GET',
url: 'models/summary.php',
mimeType: 'json',
success: function(data) {
$.each(data, function(i, data) {
var body = "<tr>";
body += "<td>" + data.name + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.address + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.phone_no + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.birthday + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.color + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.car + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.hobbies + "</td>";
body += "<td>" + data.relatives + "</td>";
body += "</tr>";
$( "#summary-table tbody" ).append(body);
});
/*DataTables instantiation.*/
$( "#summary-table" ).DataTable();
},
error: function() {
alert('Fail!');
}
});
});
Hope, this would help!
