datatables Migration from <1.10 to 1.10 and above Initialisation of Datatable 1.10+
Example
Previously, datatables were initialized as follows:
var oTable = $("#selector").dataTable();
This used to return a jQuery object which would stored in the variable oTable. And then to access the api to modify table properties, we had to initialize the api differently, as shown below:
var api = oTable.api()
//r
var api = new $.fn.dataTable.api("#selector")
Now, the initialization is changed to the following:
var table = $("#selector").DataTable();
Note that this returns a datatable api instance and you can directly use variable table to manipulate datatable properties.
