cell().render()

Get rendered data for a cell

1.10.3 cell().render( type ) Get rendered data for the selected cell Data type to get. This can be one of: * `-string display` * `-string filter` * `-string sort` * `-string type` Rendered data for the requested type DataTables has the ability to use [orthogonal data](/manual/orthogonal-data) - i.e. different data for the same cell, depending on the operation being performed. A typical example of this is date / time data being used in numeric format (i.e. a timestamp) for sorting, but a complex formatted form for display. The `dt-api cell().data()` method provides access to the underlying raw data, while this method provides access to the rendered data for each type. It is provided to allow plug-in authors access to the orthogonal data available in the table. Note that calling this method will evaluate the renderer for the cell, rather than reading the information from cache (see `dt-api cell().cache()` to read from cache and `dt-api cell().invalidate()` to clear cache). columns.data columns.render cells().data() cell().data() cell().render() cell().invalidate()
