Topic: Recommendation: columns variable explanation required
Datatable - Async data https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/standard/data/datatables/#docsTabsOverview
In the example provided you use "const columns" variable for the columns, and reference it like this:
const asyncTable = new mdb.Datatable(
document.getElementById('datatable'),
{ columns, }, <-----------note parameter name only
{ loading: true }
);
I changed the variable name to "columns_set1" because I had multiple tables. However I didn't realise that by changing the column name I had to reference it differently.
const asyncTable = new mdb.Datatable(
document.getElementById('datatable'),
{ columns_set1, }, <-----this is wrong
{ columns: columns_set1, }, <-----this is correct
{ loading: true }
);
It might be good to write in the documentation that if the column parameter name is not "column" then the descriptor "columns: " is required beforehand.
Or it was me just being dumb :)
Thanks for the feedback. This is one of the things that came with ES6. Most liners now require this syntax. e.g. ESLint: https://eslint.org/docs/latest/rules/object-shorthand
However we will discuss it in the team :)
