My datatable is not picking the json result-CodePudding

I am using datatables and my get handler returns a json result but the datatable is not displaying it. What am I missing? Here's my code. I am using Visual Studio 2019 3.1 .net core with razor pages. I am trying to call my datatable in the OnGet handler. I tried the post but that did not work either.

my cust class

public class Cust
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }

        public string Name { get; set; }

        public string PhoneNumber { get; set; }

        public string Address { get; set; }

        public string PostalCode { get; set; }
    }

_layout.cshtml

<div >
        <main role="main" >
            @RenderBody()
        </main>
    </div>

    <footer >
        <div >
            &copy; 2022 - testApp - <a asp-area="" asp-page="/Privacy">Privacy</a>
        </div>
    </footer>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://cdn.datatables.net/v/dt/dt-1.12.1/datatables.min.css" />

    <script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.datatables.net/v/dt/dt-1.12.1/datatables.min.js"></script>


    @RenderSection("Scripts", required: false)

My Index.cshtml.cs model code

public class IndexModel : PageModel
    {
      
        [BindProperty]
        public int Draw { get; set; }

       // public IEnumerable<Column> Columns { get; set; }

       // public IEnumerable<Order> Order { get; set; }

        public int Start { get; set; }

        public int Length { get; set; }

        public List<Cust> Customers = new List<Cust>();


        public JsonResult OnGet()
        {
            var recordsTotal = 3;
            Cust cs1 = new Cust();
            cs1.Id = 1;
            cs1.Name = "test1";
            cs1.Address = "address1";
            cs1.PhoneNumber = "11111";
            cs1.PostalCode = "1111";

            Cust cs2 = new Cust();
            cs2.Id = 1;
            cs2.Name = "test2";
            cs2.Address = "address1";
            cs2.PhoneNumber = "11111";
            cs2.PostalCode = "1111";

            Cust cs3 = new Cust();
            cs3.Id = 1;
            cs3.Name = "test3";
            cs3.Address = "address1";
            cs3.PhoneNumber = "11111";
            cs3.PostalCode = "1111";

            Customers.Add(cs1);
            Customers.Add(cs2);
            Customers.Add(cs3);
            var recordsFiltered = Customers.Count();
            var data = Customers;



            return new JsonResult(new
            {
                Draw = Draw,
                RecordsTotal = recordsTotal,
                RecordsFiltered = recordsFiltered,
                Data = data
            });

        }

My razor page -- Pages/customers/Index.cshtml

@page
@model testApp.Pages.Customer.IndexModel
@{
}


<h1>Index</h1>

<p>
    
</p>
<table id="myTable" >
    <thead>
        <tr>
            <th>
                @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Customers[0].Id)
            </th>
            <th>
                @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Customers[0].Name)
            </th>
            <th>
                @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Customers[0].PhoneNumber)
            </th>
            <th>
                @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Customers[0].Address)
            </th>
            <th>
                @Html.DisplayNameFor(model => model.Customers[0].PostalCode)
            </th>
            <th></th>
        </tr>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
    </tbody>
</table>

@section Scripts {
    <script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('#myTable').DataTable({
                "proccessing": true,
                "serverSide": true,
                "ajax": {
                    url: "/customers/Index?handler=OnGet",
                    "type": "GET",
                    "dataType": "json"
                },
                "columns": [
                    { "data": "id", "autowidth": true },
                    { "data": "name", "autowidth": true },
                    { "data": "phoneNumber", "autowidth": true },
                    { "data": "address", "autowidth": true },
                    { "data": "postalCode", "autowidth": true }

                ],
                "order": [[0, "desc"]]
            });
        });
    </script>
}

Here's my json response.

{"draw":0,"recordsTotal":3,"recordsFiltered":3,"data":[{"id":1,"name":"test1","phoneNumber":"11111","address":"address1","postalCode":"1111"},{"id":1,"name":"test2","phoneNumber":"11111","address":"address1","postalCode":"1111"},{"id":1,"name":"test3","phoneNumber":"11111","address":"address1","postalCode":"1111"}]}

I am just testing it with this project to see if I can get the datatable to work. I will be eventually getting the data from the database. Yes, the volume will be big, thousands of rows.
