How to parse JSON data in jQuery Datatable
Step 1: we will create new profile_image
column in employee
table. This column will store profile image path.
ALTER TABLE `employee` ADD `profile_image` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL DEFAULT 'images/default_profile.png' AFTER `employee_age`;
Step 2: Added profile_image
column in $column
array in response.php
file.
//define index of column $columns = array( 0 =>'id', 1 =>'employee_name', 2 => 'employee_salary', 3 => 'employee_age', 4 =>'profile_image' );
Step 3: Added profile_image
and Action
column in HTML table header and footer heading in index.php
file.
<thead> <tr> <th>Empid</th> <th>Name</th> <th>Salary</th> <th>Age</th> <th>Image</th> <th>Action</th> </tr> </thead> <tfoot> <tr> <th>Empid</th> <th>Name</th> <th>Salary</th> <th>Age</th> <th>Image</th> <th>Action</th> </tr> </tfoot>
Step 4: We will user dataSrc
callback jquery datatable function to parse JSON object.This function will take JSON data as a parameter which will returned from Ajax request.
$( document ).ready(function() { $('#employee_grid').DataTable({ ..... "ajax":{ ..... "dataSrc": function (jsonData) { for ( var i=0, len=jsonData.data.length ; i<len ; i++ ) { jsonData.data[i][4] = '<img src="https://phpflow.com/php/parse-json-data-jquery-datatable/"/>'; jsonData.data[i][1] = '<a href="https://phpflow.com" target="_blank">'+jsonData.data[i][1]+'</a>'; jsonData.data[i][5] = '<div class="btn-group" data-toggle="buttons"><a href="#" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-xs">Edit</a><a href="#" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-xs">Delete</a><a href="#" target="_blank" class="btn btn-primary btn-xs">View</a></div>'; } return jsonData.data; } .... } }); });
as you can see above code, I am adding following functionality,
- Adding img html tag with profile_image column value
- Adding href attribute on each name column value
- Adding new column Action column which will take edit/delete and view anchor tag

in js side,
You need to unset those index fields in ajax
“dataSrc”: function (jsonData) {
for ( var i=0, len=jsonData.data.length ; i<len ; i++ ) {
delete(jsonData.data)
jsonData.splice( i, 1 );
}
Server side:
You can send response of those col values/index which u need to show in table
Hello, first of all thanks a lot! this is awesome! I would like to know how to replace de # link in your example for an URL that is in a 5th hidden column. should I just do this? jsonData.data[i][1] = ‘<a href="jsonData.data[i][5]" target="_blank">’+jsonData.data[i][1]+'</a>’;
need to change assigned record data index, jsonData.data[i][5] = ‘‘+jsonData.data[i][1]+’‘;
