  Retrieving data for a jQuery Datatable

  Nov 24, 2012 10:10 PM|LINK

  I am having problems getting data back from an api controller and consuming it with a jQuery datatable (http://datatables.net/index). Has anyone done this successfully?

  You can take idea from following:

  Web API(PhonesController):

  public dynamic GetPhoneNumbers()
      {
          return Json(new
          {
              aaData = new[]
              {
                  new [] { "Trident", "Internet Explorer 4.0", "Win 95+", "4", "X" },
                  new [] { "Gecko", "Firefox 1.5", "Win 98+ / OSX.2+", "1.8", "A" },
                  new [] { "Webkit", "iPod Touch / iPhone", "iPod", "420.1", "A" }
              }
          }, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
      }

  jQuery:

  $(function () {
      $('#example').dataTable({
          bProcessing: true,
          sAjaxSource: 'api/phones/'
      });
  });

  thanks urenjoy - it was mainly a bundles issue.
