Topic: How do I utilize a string/convert one correctly to use in Datatable
Expected behavior Wanting to be able to build the JSON to pass into the datatable. I'm using an older Classic ASP codebase with an MDB redesign. I need to be able to loop over the data and build it to pass into the JS.
EX (snippet attached):
let k = "{columns: [ { 'label': 'Column 1 DT', 'width': '100', 'fixed': 'true', 'sort': 'false' }, { 'label': 'Column 2'}], 'rows': ['Value 1', 'Value 2'] }, { 'bordered': 'true' } ";
const datatableInstance1 = new mdb.Datatable( document.getElementById('datatable1'), JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(k)) );
Actual behavior No matching results found. I can't pass as a string, or stringify, or parse/stringify. Slamming my head on my desk over this one. lol

Your JSON format was not valid and/or mispelled. I fixed your snippet.

const datatableInstance2 = new mdb.Datatable(document.getElementById('datatable2'), {
columns: [
{ label: 'Column 1 DT2', width: 100, fixed: true, sort: false },
{ label: 'Column 2'}
],
rows: [
['Value 1', 'Value 2']
]
}, {
bordered: true
});
let k = `{
"columns": [{
"label": "Column 1 DT",
"width": 100,
"fixed": true,
"sort": false
}, {
"label": "Column 2"
}],
"rows": [["Value 1", "Value 2"]]
}`;
const datatableInstance1 = new mdb.Datatable( document.getElementById('datatable1'), JSON.parse(k), {
bordered: true
} );
