刷新DataTable的问题

Question

I am having two issues with my DataTable (https://datatables.net) first issue is I am trying to get my Data Table to display new information when a select box is changed, here is my code:

    let statusList = getStatusList();

function getRes(callback) { // ADDED CALLBACK
    let city = document.getElementById("cityselect").value;
    $.ajax({
        type: 'get',
        url: 'getreservationstable.php?city='+city,
        dataType: 'json',
        cache: false,
        success: callback  // USED CALLBACK
    });
}

function changeCity()
{
    $('#resdatatable').DataTable().ajax.reload();
}

getRes(function (result) { // APPLIED CALLBACK
  $('#resdatatable').DataTable({
     data: result,             // YOUR RESULT
     destroy: true,
      columns: [
        { data: 'id', title: 'ID' },
        { data: 'bookingdatetime', title: 'Booking Date' },
        { data: 'name', title: 'Name' },
        { data: 'class', title: 'Class' },
        { data: 'pickupdatetime', title: 'Pick up' },
        { data: 'duration', title: 'Duration' },
        { data: 'dropdatetime', title: 'Drop off' },
        { data: 'age', title: 'Age' },
        { data: 'coverage', title: 'Coverage' },
        { data: 'quote', title: 'Quote' },
        {
          data: 'status',
          title: 'Status',
          render: function(data, type, row) {
            let isKnown = statusList.filter(function(k) { return k.id === data; }).length > 0;
            if (isKnown) {
              return $('<select id ="resstatus'  + row.id + '" onchange="changeResStatus(' + row.id + ')">', {
                id: 'resstatus-' + row.id, // custom id
                value: data
              }).append(statusList.map(function(knownStatus) {
                let $option = $('<option>', {
                  text: knownStatus.text,
                  value: knownStatus.id
                });
                if (row.status === knownStatus.id) {
                  $option.attr('selected', 'selected');
                }
                return $option;
              })).on('change', function() {
                changeresstatus(row.id); // Call change with row ID
              }).prop('outerHTML');
            } else {
              return data;
            }
          }
        }
      ]
    });
});

/**
 * jQuery plugin to convert text in a cell to a dropdown
 */
(function($) {
  $.fn.createDropDown = function(items) {
    let oldTxt = this.text();
    let isKnown = items.filter(function(k) { return k.id === oldTxt; }).length > 0;
    if (isKnown) {
      this.empty().append($('<select>').append(items.map(function(item) {
        let $option = $('<option>', {
          text: item.text,
          value: item.id
        });
        if (item.id === oldTxt) {
          $option.attr('selected', 'selected');
        }
        return $option;
      })));
    }
    return this;
  };
})(jQuery);

// If you remove the renderer above and change this to true,
// you can call this, but it will run once...
if (false) {
  $('#resdatatable > tbody tr').each(function(i, tr) {
    $(tr).find('td').last().createDropDown(statusList);
  });
}


function getStatusList() {
  return [{
    id: 'Confirmed',
    text: 'Confirmed'
  }, {
    id: 'Unconfirmed',
    text: 'Unconfirmed'
  }, {
    id: 'Open',
    text: 'Open'
  }, {
    id: 'Closed',
    text: 'Closed'
  }, {
    id: 'Canceled',
    text: 'Canceled'
  }];
}

And I have a select box that looks like this:

<select id="cityselect" onchange="changeCity()">
<option value="la">Los Angeles</option>
<option value="oc">Orange County</option>
<option value="sf">San Francisco</option>
</select>

When I try to change the city, it gives me this error:

DataTables warning: table id=resdatatable - Invalid JSON response. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/1

And Console reads:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'data' of null

The JSON response is 100% valid. Can someone explain to me why this is not working?

Edit: Here is the JSON data, it's legit, it loads on page load but no on select switch:

Answer 1

Seams like you try to trigger $('#resdatatable').DataTable().ajax.reload(); on changeCity() event, but never define ajax option on your DataTable constructor.

eg from documentation.

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable( {
        "ajax": "data/arrays.txt"
    } );
} );

As you defined a separate call using $.ajax, my guess is you would like to keep that logic and adapt your onChange event, so best option would be to rewrite changeCity this way :

function changeCity()
{
    getRes(function (result) {
        var datatable = $('#resdatatable').DataTable()
        datatable.clear();
        datatable.rows.add(result);
        datatable.draw();
    });
}

Refer to this post about how to manually update datatables table with new JSON data.
