I simply wish to call a function called fnGetNodes() to get an array of all nodes. (source of data-tables functions to calls: http://datatables.net/api)

I have set up as:

# DataTable
  table = $("#restaurantLocations").DataTable()

# Selecting all
  $("#selectAllLocations").click ->
    rows = table.fnGetNodes()

Yet as I refresh and click the button Select All I receive the following error on the line table.fnGetNodes():

enter image description here

It should be very easy, but how can I call functions on datatables in CoffeeScript?

  • What is table after you refresh? Is table what you expect it to be inside the callback? Is table in scope when you define that callback? Are you saying $x.DataTable() or $x.dataTable()? Commented Nov 1, 2014 at 18:24
  • I'm using .DataTable(), add seen in the code Commented Nov 1, 2014 at 19:25
  • Got it to work with replacing table.fnGetNodes() with $("#restaurantLocations").dataTable().fnGetNodes() Commented Nov 1, 2014 at 19:33
  • So it was just a typo in table = $("#restaurantLocations").DataTable() that should have been table = $("#restaurantLocations").dataTable() then? Commented Nov 1, 2014 at 19:39
  • No, some functions need .dataTable() and others .DataTable, so I just call an instance of $("#restaurantLocations").dataTable() on those other functions Commented Nov 1, 2014 at 19:52
