Basic DataTable Ajax Configuration Not Working - php

Question

I'm trying to use DataTables with php and mysql. I have an ajax call that is pulling in data as such:
[
{
"id": 3,
"ptid":"blah",
"last_name":"blah",
"first_name":"blah",
"priv_application":"E",
"priv_document":"E",
"priv_note":"E",
}
]
I'm configuring DataTables with the following:
$('#listing').DataTable( {
"paging": false,
"searching": false,
"select": true,
ajax: {
url: '{{ url("administration/admindata") }}',
dataSrc: ''
},
columns: [
{ title: "ID" },
{ title: "PtID" },
{ title: "Last Name" },
{ title: "First Name" },
{ title: "Application" },
{ title: "Documents" },
{ title: "Notes" }
]
});
And the HTML for the table is as follows:
<table id="listing" class="display" width="100%"></table>
However, it doesn't want to load the data even though this configuration is exactly like the first example given here:
https://datatables.net/manual/ajax
I'm getting the following error:
DataTables warning: table id=listing - Requested unknown parameter '0' for row 0, column 0. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/4
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

When using array of objects as your data source, you need to specify data source for each column using columns.data option.
$('#listing').DataTable( {
"paging": false,
"searching": false,
"select": true,
"ajax": {
"url": '{{ url("administration/admindata") }}',
"dataSrc": ''
},
columns: [
{ data: "id", title: "ID" },
{ data: "ptid", title: "PtID" },
{ data: "last_name", title: "Last Name" },
{ data: "first_name", title: "First Name" },
{ data: "priv_application", title: "Application" },
{ data: "priv_adocument", title: "Documents" },
{ data: "priv_note", title: "Notes" }
]
});

Try something like this.
ajax": {
type': 'POST',
'url': "<?=action('TestController#postTestfunction')?>"
},
try to use the ajax call without blade template code.
and make sure your route is written something like this.
Route::controller('test', 'TestController');
Also try with change your controller function name "admindata" to "postAdmindata"
Let me know still if you get stuck anywhere.
