Each column has an optional rendering control called columns.render which can be used to process the content of each cell before the data is used. columns.render has a wide array of
- options available to it for rendering different types of data orthogonally (ordering, searching, display etc), but it can be used very simply to manipulate the
- content of a cell, as shown here.
This example shows the person's age combined with their name in the first column, hiding the age column. This technique can be useful for adding links, - assigning colours based on content rules and any other form of text manipulation you require.
