DataTables server-side processing example - automatic row ID addition


Often when using server-side processing you will find that it can be useful to have a specific ID on each row (the row ID from the database for example). By assigning the ID you want to apply to each row using the property DT_RowId of the data source object for each row, DataTables will automatically add it for you. Likewise there is a DT_RowClass option which will add your given class. This example shows both and is a trivial modification of the server-side script to add these two options, with no changes on the client-side.
