83 including deeply nested objects / properties. mData can be given in a | |
84 number of different ways which effect its behaviour: | |
85 <ul> | |
86 <li>integer - treated as an array index for the data source. This is the | |
87 default that DataTables uses (incrementally increased for each column).</li> | |
88 <li>string - read an object property from the data source. Note that you can | |
89 use Javascript dotted notation to read deep properties / arrays from the | |
90 data source.</li> | |
91 <li>null - the sDefaultContent option will be used for the cell (null | |
92 by default, so you will need to specify the default content you want - | |
93 typically an empty string). This can be useful on generated columns such | |
94 as edit / delete action columns.</li> | |
95 <li>function - the function given will be executed whenever DataTables | |
96 needs to set or get the data for a cell in the column. The function | |
97 takes three parameters: | |
98 <ul> | |
99 <li>{array|object} The data source for the row</li> | |
100 <li>{string} The type call data requested - this will be 'set' when | |
101 setting data or 'filter', 'display', 'type', 'sort' or undefined when | |
102 gathering data. Note that when <i>undefined</i> is given for the type | |
103 DataTables expects to get the raw data for the object back</li> | |
104 <li>{*} Data to set when the second parameter is 'set'.</li> | |
105 </ul> | |
106 The return value from the function is not required when 'set' is the type | |
107 of call, but otherwise the return is what will be used for the data | |
108 requested.</li> | |

110 consistency. mDataProp can still be used, as there is backwards compatibility | |
111 in DataTables for this option, but it is strongly recommended that you use | |
112 mData in preference to mDataProp.</p></dd><dt class=" odd"><span class="type-attr"><span class="type-signature"><static> </span></span><span class="type-name"><a href="#mRender">mRender</a></span><span class="type-sig"><span class="type-signature"> :string|int|function|null</span></span></dt><dd class=" odd"><p>This property is the rendering partner to mData and it is suggested that | |
113 when you want to manipulate data for display (including filtering, sorting etc) | |
114 but not altering the underlying data for the table, use this property. mData | |
115 can actually do everything this property can and more, but this parameter is | |
116 easier to use since there is no 'set' option. Like mData is can be given | |
117 in a number of different ways to effect its behaviour, with the addition of | |
118 supporting array syntax for easy outputting of arrays (including arrays of | |
119 objects): | |
120 <ul> | |
121 <li>integer - treated as an array index for the data source. This is the | |
122 default that DataTables uses (incrementally increased for each column).</li> | |
123 <li>string - read an object property from the data source. Note that you can | |
124 use Javascript dotted notation to read deep properties / arrays from the | |
125 data source and also array brackets to indicate that the data reader should | |
126 loop over the data source array. When characters are given between the array | |
127 brackets, these characters are used to join the data source array together. | |
128 For example: "accounts[, ].name" would result in a comma separated list with | |
129 the 'name' value from the 'accounts' array of objects.</li> | |
130 <li>function - the function given will be executed whenever DataTables | |
131 needs to set or get the data for a cell in the column. The function | |
132 takes three parameters: | |
133 <ul> | |
134 <li>{array|object} The data source for the row (based on mData)</li> | |
135 <li>{string} The type call data requested - this will be 'filter', 'display', | |
136 'type' or 'sort'.</li> | |
137 <li>{array|object} The full data source for the row (not based on mData)</li> | |
138 </ul> | |
139 The return value from the function is what will be used for the data | |
140 requested.</li> | |

146 is that "mmm" is much wider then "iiii", but the latter is a longer | |
147 string - thus the calculation can go wrong (doing it properly and putting | |
148 it into an DOM object and measuring that is horribly(!) slow). Thus as | |
149 a "work around" we provide this option. It will append its value to the | |
150 text that is found to be the longest string for the column - i.e. padding. | |

157 also allow DataTables to reorder information from the server if it comes | |

166 example: "Mar 26, 2008 5:03 PM". May take the values: 'string', 'numeric', | |

449 including deeply nested objects / properties. mData can be given in a | |
450 number of different ways which effect its behaviour: | |
451 <ul> | |
452 <li>integer - treated as an array index for the data source. This is the | |
453 default that DataTables uses (incrementally increased for each column).</li> | |
454 <li>string - read an object property from the data source. Note that you can | |
455 use Javascript dotted notation to read deep properties / arrays from the | |
456 data source.</li> | |
457 <li>null - the sDefaultContent option will be used for the cell (null | |
458 by default, so you will need to specify the default content you want - | |
459 typically an empty string). This can be useful on generated columns such | |
460 as edit / delete action columns.</li> | |
461 <li>function - the function given will be executed whenever DataTables | |
462 needs to set or get the data for a cell in the column. The function | |
463 takes three parameters: | |
464 <ul> | |
465 <li>{array|object} The data source for the row</li> | |
466 <li>{string} The type call data requested - this will be 'set' when | |
467 setting data or 'filter', 'display', 'type', 'sort' or undefined when | |
468 gathering data. Note that when <i>undefined</i> is given for the type | |
469 DataTables expects to get the raw data for the object back</li> | |
470 <li>{*} Data to set when the second parameter is 'set'.</li> | |
471 </ul> | |
472 The return value from the function is not required when 'set' is the type | |
473 of call, but otherwise the return is what will be used for the data | |
474 requested.</li> | |

478 reflects the flexibility of this property and is consistent with the naming of | |
479 mRender. If 'mDataProp' is given, then it will still be used by DataTables, as | |

550 loop over the data source array. When characters are given between the array | |
