How to invoke ajax call in jQuery DataTable using ASP.NET MVC

I'm using jQuery DataTables 1.10.13 plugin for awhile now. I have stumbled upon this issue which is related with ajax data source for my html table.
jQuery DataTable initialization inside Files.cshtml
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
var oTable = $("#tblFile").DataTable({
"iDisplayLength": 10,
"bServerSide": true,
"sAjaxSource": "#Url.Content("PlayListFilesAjaxHandler")" + "?playListId=" + getParameter(),
"bProcessing": true,
"bStateSave": true,
"aoColumns": [
{
"sName": "FileName",
"bSearchable": true,
"bSortable": true,
"sWidth": '25%'
},
{
"sName": "FilePath",
"bSearchable": true,
"bSortable": true,
"sWidth": '50%'
},
{
"sName": "Order",
"bSearchable": true,
"bSortable": true,
"sWidth": '10%'
},
{
"sName": "Action",
"bSearchable": false,
"bSortable": false,
"sWidth": '15%',
"render": function (data, type, full, meta) {
return '<a class="btn btn-primary deleteButton" href=\"FileDelete/' + full[3] + '\">Delete</a>';
}
}
]
});
});
I wondered if this is the correct way of calling ajax request with a parameter?
Because, the PlayListFilesAjaxHandler method is not triggered after Files action result is invoked.
"sAjaxSource": "#Url.Content("PlayListFilesAjaxHandler")" + "?playListId=" + getParameter(),
This is the Files action result method and parameters of PlayListFilesAjaxHandler inside the home controller class
[Authorize]
public ActionResult Files()
{
return View();
}
public ActionResult PlayListFilesAjaxHandler(string playListId, JQueryDataTableParamModel param)
{ ... }
This is the structure of html table
<table id="tblFile" class="table table-responsive">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>
File Name
</th>
<th>
File Path
</th>
<th>
Sequence
</th>
<th>
Action
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody></tbody></table>
Any help is greatly appreciated.

if you didn't use api controller, try to return with json result.
public JsonResult PlayListFilesAjaxHandler(string playListId,JQueryDataTableParamModel param)
{
return Json(IEnumerable);
}

How to make ajax request to mongodb

I am building an app using Meteor. I am using the jquery datatables package - www.datatables.net to present my data/records. According to the documentation, I would connect the table to my MongoDB database by:
$('#example').DataTable( {
serverSide: true,
ajax: '/data-source'
});
The part I am unclear of is the 3rd line - Can someone help me understand how to make an ajax call to return data from my MongoDB database?? Here is more documentation on server-side processing for datatables:
https://datatables.net/manual/server-side
I have a collection named Products with the fields description, brand, price.

<table id="example">
<thead id="dataTable-header">
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>NAME</th>
</tr>
</thead>
</table>
var dataTable = $('#example').DataTable({
"orderable": false,
'searching': true,
"paging": true,
language: {
processing: "<i class='fa fa-refresh fa-spin'></i>"
},
"processing": true,
"serverSide": true,
"ajax": urlData,
"columns":[
{
"orderable": false,
"class": "details-control",
"data": null,
"defaultContent": ""
},
{"orderable": false, "data": "name" }
],
"columnDefs": [{
"targets": 3,
"render": function (data, type, row) {
return '<a name="editAnchor" class="fa fa-ban"></a>';
},
"className": 'text-center'
}]
});
urlData is your json data with fields Id and Name.

Unable to convert HTML to Javascript Variable

I'm trying to nest a jQuery DataTable in a main DataTable. I am able to create the child table and populate it, but when I try and copy the HTML into a JavaScript function that shows the nested row, I get an error since the HTML has line breaks, extra spaces and is not wrapped in quotes.
How can I get this to work?

Basically the solution is to clone your child table HTML template, add a new child row using HTML content of the cloned element, locate the added table and create a DataTables object based on that.
You need to remove id attribute form your child table as shown below and make its container initially hidden.
HTML
I have omitted some of your HTML code, only child table is shown below.
<div id="ethicalRulesGrid" style="display:none">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" class="display ca_highlight_row" style="margin:0 0 0 110px;">

<th></th>
<th>Rule Number</th>
<th>Rule</th>

Disable sorting for a particular column in jQuery DataTables

I am using the jQuery DataTables plugin to sort the table fields. My question is: how do I disable sorting for a particular column? I have tried with the following code, but it did not work:
"aoColumns": [
{ "bSearchable": false },
null
]
I have also tried the following code:
"aoColumnDefs": [
{
"bSearchable": false,
"aTargets": [ 1 ]
}
]
but this still did not produce the desired results.

This is what you're looking for:
$('#example').dataTable( {
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ 'bSortable': false, 'aTargets': [ 1 ] }
]
});

As of DataTables 1.10.5 it is now possible to define initialisation
options using HTML5 data-* attributes.
-from DataTables example - HTML5 data-* attributes - table options
So you can use data-orderable="false" on the th of the column you don't want to be sortable. For example, the second column "Avatar" in the table below will not be sortable:
<table id="example" class="display" width="100%" data-page-length="25">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th data-orderable="false">Avatar</th>
<th>Start date</th>
<th>Salary</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Tiger Nixon</td>
<td><img src="https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/8edcff60cdcca2ad650758fa524d4990?s=64&d=identicon&r=PG" alt="" style="width: 64px; height: 64px; visibility: visible;"></td>
<td>2011/04/25</td>
<td>$320,800</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Garrett Winters</td>
<td><img src="https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/98fe9834dcca2ad650758fa524d4990?s=64&d=identicon&r=PG" alt="" style="width: 64px; height: 64px; visibility: visible;"></td>
<td>2011/07/25</td>
<td>$170,750</td>
</tr>
...[ETC]...
</tbody>
</table>
See a working example at https://jsfiddle.net/jhfrench/6yxvxt7L/.

To make a first column sorting disable, try with the below code in datatables jquery. The null represents the sorting enable here.
$('#example').dataTable( {
"aoColumns": [
{ "bSortable": false },
null,
null,
null
]
} );
Disable Sorting on a Column in jQuery Datatables

Using Datatables 1.9.4 I've disabled the sorting for the first column with this code:
/* Table initialisation */
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#rules').dataTable({
"sDom" : "<'row'<'span6'l><'span6'f>r>t<'row'<'span6'i><'span6'p>>",
"sPaginationType" : "bootstrap",
"oLanguage" : {
"sLengthMenu" : "_MENU_ records per page"
},
// Disable sorting on the first column
"aoColumnDefs" : [ {
'bSortable' : false,
'aTargets' : [ 0 ]
} ]
});
});
EDIT:
You can disable even by using the no-sort class on your <th>,
and use this initialization code:
// Disable sorting on the no-sort class
"aoColumnDefs" : [ {
"bSortable" : false,
"aTargets" : [ "no-sort" ]
} ]
EDIT 2
In this example I'm using Datables with Bootstrap, following an old blog post. Now there is one link with updated material about styling Datatables with bootstrap.

What I use is just add a custom attribute in thead td and control sorting by checking that attr value automatically.
So the HTML code will be
<table class="datatables" cellspacing="0px" >
<thead>
<tr>
<td data-bSortable="true">Requirements</td>
<td>Test Cases</td>
<td data-bSortable="true">Automated</td>
<td>Created On</td>
<td>Automated Status</td>
<td>Tags</td>
<td>Action</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
And JavaScript for initializing datatables will be
(it will dynamically get the sorting information from table iteself ;)
$('.datatables').each(function(){
var bFilter = true;
if($(this).hasClass('nofilter')){
bFilter = false;
}
var columnSort = new Array;
$(this).find('thead tr td').each(function(){
if($(this).attr('data-bSortable') == 'true') {
columnSort.push({ "bSortable": true });
} else {
columnSort.push({ "bSortable": false });
}
});
$(this).dataTable({
"sPaginationType": "full_numbers",
"bFilter": bFilter,
"fnDrawCallback": function( oSettings ) {
},
"aoColumns": columnSort
});
});

columnDefs now accepts a class. I'd say this is the preferred method if you'd like to specify columns to disable in your markup:
<table>
<thead>
<tr>
<th>ID</th>
<th>Name</th>
<th class="datatable-nosort">Actions</th>
</tr>
</thead>
...
</table>
Then, in your JS:
$("table").DataTable({
columnDefs: [{
targets: "datatable-nosort",
orderable: false
}]
});

Here is what you can use to disable certain column to be disabled:
$('#tableId').dataTable({
"columns": [
{ "data": "id"},
{ "data": "sampleSortableColumn" },
{ "data": "otherSortableColumn" },
{ "data": "unsortableColumn", "orderable": false}
]
});
So all you have to do is add the "orderable": false to the column you don't want to be sortable.

$("#example").dataTable(
{
"aoColumnDefs": [{
"bSortable": false,
"aTargets": [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
}]
}
);

For Single column sorting disable try this example :
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#example").dataTable({
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ 'bSortable': false, 'aTargets': [ 0 ] }
]
});
});
</script>
For Multiple columns try this example: you just need to add column number. By default it's starting from 0
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function()
{
$("#example").dataTable({
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ 'bSortable': false, 'aTargets': [ 0,1,2,4,5,6] }
]
});
});
</script>
Here only Column 3 works

As of 1.10.5, simply include
'orderable: false'
in columnDefs and target your column with
'targets: [0,1]'
Table should like like:
var table = $('#data-tables').DataTable({
columnDefs: [{
targets: [0],
orderable: false
}]
});

If you set the FIRST column orderable property to false, you must also set the default order column otherwise it won't work since first column is the default ordering column. Example below disables sorting on first column but sets second column as default order column (remember dataTables' indexes are zero based).
$('#example').dataTable( {
"order": [[1, 'asc']],
"columnDefs": [
{ "orderable": false, "targets": 0 }
]
} );

To update Bhavish's answer (which I think is for an older version of DataTables and didn't work for me). I think they changed the attribute name. Try this:
<thead>
<tr>
<td data-sortable="false">Requirements</td>
<td data-sortable="false">Automated</td>
<td>Created On</td>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>

"aoColumnDefs" : [
{
'bSortable' : false,
'aTargets' : [ 0 ]
}]
Here 0 is the index of the column, if you want multiple columns to be not sorted, mention column index values seperated by comma(,)

Using class:
<table class="table table-datatable table-bordered" id="tableID">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="nosort"><input type="checkbox" id="checkAllreInvitation" /></th>
<th class="sort-alpha">Employee name</th>
<th class="sort-alpha">Send Date</th>
<th class="sort-alpha">Sender</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><input type="checkbox" name="userUid[]" value="{user.uid}" id="checkAllreInvitation" class="checkItemre validate[required]" /></td>
<td>Alexander Schwartz</td>
<td>27.12.2015</td>
<td>dummy#email.com</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#tableID').DataTable({
'iDisplayLength':100,
"aaSorting": [[ 0, "asc" ]],
'aoColumnDefs': [{
'bSortable': false,
'aTargets': ['nosort']
}]
});
});
</script>
Now you can give "nosort" class to <TH>

This works for me for a single column
$('#example').dataTable( {
"aoColumns": [
{ "bSortable": false
}]});

If you already have to hide Some columns, like I hide last name column. I just had to concatenate fname , lname , So i made query but hide that column from front end. The modifications in Disable sorting in such situation are :
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ 'bSortable': false, 'aTargets': [ 3 ] },
{
"targets": [ 4 ],
"visible": false,
"searchable": true
}
],
Notice that I had Hiding functionality here
"columnDefs": [
{
"targets": [ 4 ],
"visible": false,
"searchable": true
}
],
Then I merged it into "aoColumnDefs"

Use the following code to disable ordering on first column:
$('#example').dataTable( {
"columnDefs": [
{ "orderable": false, "targets": 0 }
]
} );
To disable default ordering, you can also use:
$('#example').dataTable( {
"ordering": false,
} );

There are two ways, one is defined in html when you define table headers
<thead>
<th data-orderable="false"></th>
</thead>
Another way is using javascript, for example, you have table
<table id="datatables">
<thead>
<tr>
<th class="testid input">test id</th>
<th class="testname input">test name</th>
</thead>
</table>
then,
$(document).ready(function() {
$('#datatables').DataTable( {
"columnDefs": [ {
"targets": [ 0], // 0 indicates the first column you define in <thead>
"searchable": false
}
, {
// you can also use name to get the target column
"targets": 'testid', // name is the class you define in <th>
"searchable": false
}
]
}
);
}
);

you can also use negative index like this:
$('.datatable').dataTable({
"sDom": "<'row-fluid'<'span6'l><'span6'f>r>t<'row-fluid'<'span6'i><'span6'p>>",
"sPaginationType": "bootstrap",
"aoColumnDefs": [
{ 'bSortable': false, 'aTargets': [ -1 ] }
]
});

The code will look like this:
$(".data-cash").each(function (index) {
$(this).dataTable({
"sDom": "<'row-fluid'<'span6'l><'span6'f>r>t<'row-fluid'<'span6'i><'span6'p>>",
"sPaginationType": "bootstrap",
"oLanguage": {
"sLengthMenu": "_MENU_ records per page",
"oPaginate": {
"sPrevious": "Prev",
"sNext": "Next"
}
},
"bSort": false,
"aaSorting": []
});
});

Here is the answer !
targets is the column number, it starts from 0
$('#example').dataTable( {
"columnDefs": [
{ "orderable": false, "targets": 0 }
]

You can directry use .notsortable() method on column
vm.dtOpt_product = DTOptionsBuilder.newOptions()
.withOption('responsive', true)
vm.dtOpt_product.withPaginationType('full_numbers');
vm.dtOpt_product.withColumnFilter({
aoColumns: [{
type: 'null'
}, {
type: 'text',
bRegex: true,
bSmart: true
}, {
type: 'text',
bRegex: true,
bSmart: true
}, {
type: 'text',
bRegex: true,
bSmart: true
}, {
type: 'select',
bRegex: false,
bSmart: true,
values: vm.dtProductTypes
}]
});
vm.dtColDefs_product = [
DTColumnDefBuilder.newColumnDef(0), DTColumnDefBuilder.newColumnDef(1),
DTColumnDefBuilder.newColumnDef(2), DTColumnDefBuilder.newColumnDef(3).withClass('none'),
DTColumnDefBuilder.newColumnDef(4), DTColumnDefBuilder.newColumnDef(5).notSortable()
];

set class "no-sort" in th of the table
then add css
.no-sort { pointer-events: none !important; cursor: default !important;background-image: none !important; }
by this it will hide the arrow updown and disble event in the head.
