Update a row using DataTable()

Question

I would like to know the correct way to update/redraw a table row using the new API. Old questions suggest table.fnUpdate. Should I still be using the old API for this?

The new API tells me nothing about updating rows.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

if you have set specific id attribute for your rows with Datatable method , then you can select with :

table.row('#row_'+ idRow).data(rowData).draw()

Because generation of id attributes must be like this to be selected by after :

Ex id 3:

   // In php : push the key 'DT_RowId' foreach row  
      foreach ($items as $item) {
           $item['DT_RowId'] = 'row_' . $id;
      }

After you have specific id and you can select easily for an update :

 <tr id="row_3" class="...">
    ....
    </tr>
