Datatables with dynamic columns

A solution to add dynamic headers to datatables jQuery plugin. This public repository will help to post solutions and code-snippets we find useful, please feel free to fork and add your own commentaries and examples. Resume:

• dynamic-headers.html loads json from data/data.json The idea is that in the JSON we define the columns, adding a name additional attribute that defines the Title of the table header Any other render or transformation applied to the column should be defined in the Javascript code (see example)

Test notes:

datatables js and css is included for demo purposes. Please download latest version of datatables here: https://datatables.net/download

Exceptions

Using this dynamic generation of Columns won't play well with:

 "serverSide": true

Since we are “fabricating” the table ourselves. Other than that so far everything else works just as a normal dataTable.

Thanks to
