<h1>DataTables example <span>Automatic addition of row ID attributes</span></h1>
<div class="info">
<p>Often when using server-side processing you will find that it can be useful to have a specific ID on
each row (the primary key value from the database for example). By assigning the ID you want to apply
to each row using the property <code>DT_RowId</code> of the data source object for each row, DataTables
will automatically add it for you.</p>
<p>In addition to <code>DT_RowId</code> there are two other properties which perform similar actions:
<code>DT_RowClass</code> and <code>DT_RowData</code>:</p>
<ul class="markdown">
<li>{string} <code>DT_RowId</code> - Add an ID to the <em>TR</em> element</li>
<li>{string} <code>DT_RowClass</code> - Add a class name to the <em>TR</em> element</li>
<li>{object} <code>DT_RowData</code> - Add HTML5 <em>data-</em> attributes to the <em>TR</em>
element. This is an object of key / value pairs which are assigned as data attributes to the
<em>TR</em> element.</li>
</ul>
<p>This example below shows <code>DT_RowId</code> being used to add information to the table. In
addition objects are used as the data source for the rows.</p>
</div>
<table id="example" class="display" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Position</th>
<th>Office</th>
<th>Extn.</th>
<th>Start date</th>
<th>Salary</th>

<li>CSS</li>
<li>Ajax</li>
<li>Server-side script</li>
</ul>
<div class="tabs">
<div class="js">
<p>The Javascript shown below is used to initialise the table shown in this
example:</p><code class="multiline brush: js;">$(document).ready(function() {
$('#example').dataTable( {
"processing": true,
"serverSide": true,
"ajax": "scripts/ids-objects.php",
"columns": [
{ "data": "first_name" },
{ "data": "last_name" },
{ "data": "position" },
{ "data": "office" },
{ "data": "start_date" },
{ "data": "salary" }
]
} );
} );</code>
<p>In addition to the above code, the following Javascript library files are loaded for use in this
example:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="../../media/js/jquery.js">../../media/js/jquery.js</a></li>
<li><a href="../../media/js/jquery.dataTables.js">../../media/js/jquery.dataTables.js</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="table">
<p>The HTML shown below is the raw HTML table element, before it has been enhanced by
DataTables:</p>
</div>
<div class="css">
<div>
<p>This example uses a little bit of additional CSS beyond what is loaded from the library
files (below), in order to correctly display the table. The additional CSS used is shown
below:</p><code class="multiline brush: js;"></code>
</div>
<p>The following CSS library files are loaded for use in this example to provide the styling of the
table:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href=
"../../media/css/jquery.dataTables.css">../../media/css/jquery.dataTables.css</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="ajax">
<p>This table loads data by Ajax. The latest data that has been loaded is shown below. This data
will update automatically as any additional data is loaded.</p>
</div>
<div class="php">
<p>The script used to perform the server-side processing for this table is shown below. Please note
that this is just an example script using PHP. Server-side processing scripts can be written in any
language, using <a href="//datatables.net/manual/server-side">the protocol described in the
DataTables documentation</a>.</p>
