datatables - How to display the column headers dynamically in jquery data table -


i have below code displaying array of objects having property , value in data table. here column headers hardcoded seen in below html code. how can make dynamic based on input dataset?

 var dataset = [{   "latitude": 18.00,   "longitude": 23.00,   "name": "pune" }, {   "latitude": 14.00,   "longitude": 24.00,   "name": "mumbai" }, {   "latitude": 34.004654,   "longitude": -4.005465,   "name": "delhi" },{   "latitude": 23.004564,   "longitude": 23.007897,   "name": "jaipur" }]; $(document).ready(function() {     $('#example').datatable( {         data: dataset,         "columns": [             { "data": "name" ,"title":"custom name"},             { "data": "latitude" },             { "data": "longitude" },          ]     } ); } );     <table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">         <thead>             <tr>                 <th>name</th>                 <th>latitude</th>                 <th>longitude</th>              </tr>         </thead>      </table> 

assuming structure of objects in dataset not change, use first object build json object external datatable declaration. if objects not of consistent structure, can tweak logic inside $.each structure handle that.

here's quick hack:

var dataset = [{   "latitude": 18.00,   "longitude": 23.00,   "name": "pune" }, {   "latitude": 14.00,   "longitude": 24.00,   "name": "mumbai" }, {   "latitude": 34.004654,   "longitude": -4.005465,   "name": "delhi" }, {   "latitude": 23.004564,   "longitude": 23.007897,   "name": "jaipur" }];  var my_columns = [];  $.each( dataset[0], function( key, value ) {         var my_item = {};         my_item.data = key;         my_item.title = key;         my_columns.push(my_item); });  $(document).ready(function() {   $('#example').datatable({     data: dataset,     "columns": my_columns   }); }); 

you should consider removing static table content in html this

<table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%"></table>

have fun.
