I am aware that there have been similar questions raised before and answers provided. I did go through them but either due to my poor experience/knowledge I was not able to find solution for my problem.
I am using DataTables and got this error:
DataTables warning: table id=DT_load - Invalid JSON response. For more information about this error, please see http://datatables.net/tn/1
I went through the documentation on the website and the diagnostics but still struggle to work it out. It worked on localhost but when I deployed it on the web server, it broke. I used to get the 404 error but when I switched to Named Handler methods, the above error appeared with 200 status code. Below you will find my code:
**systemList.js**
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#DT_load').DataTable({
ajax: {
url: "?handler=SystemsAll",
type: "GET",
dataSrc: '',
dataType: "json",
},
columnDefs: [{
visible: false,
searchable: false
}],

{ "data": "name", "width": "10%"},
{ "data": "website", "width": "10%" },
{ "data": "wiki", "width": "10%" },
{ "data": "lastDeployed", "width": "10%" },
{ "data": "sql", "width": "10%" },
{ "data": "web", "width": "10%" },
{
data: "id",
success: function (data) {
console.log(data);
return `<div >

</a>
<a class='btn btn-danger text-white' style='cursor:pointer; width:70px;'

}, width: "40%"
}
],

CodePudding user response：
I made it work by simply removing the controller as it is Razor Page application and not a MVC one. Doing so I used the Name Handler directly in the PageModel class of the razor page where I wanted to render the Data Table. And also make sure you bind the property.
[BindProperty]
public SystemAsset SystemAsset { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<ServerAsset> ServerAsset { get; set; }
public async Task<IActionResult> OnGetSystemsAll()
{
var allData = await _db.SystemAsset.ToListAsync();
return new JsonResult(allData);
}
public async Task<IActionResult> OnPostDelete(int id)
{
var asset = await _db.SystemAsset.FindAsync(id);
if (asset == null)
{
return NotFound();
}
_db.SystemAsset.Remove(asset);
await _db.SaveChangesAsync();
return RedirectToPage("Index");
}
Another problem I needed to fix was the name of the columns in my AJAX call, they need match exactly the name of the columns in the database table.
"ajax": {
"url": "?handler=SystemsAll",
"type": "GET",
"dataSrc": '',
"dataSrc": '',
"datatype": "jsonp",
},
"columns": [
{ "data": "Name", "name": "Name", "width": "10%" },
{ "data": "Website", "name": "Website", "width": "10%" },
{ "data": "Wiki", "name": "Wiki", "width": "10%" },
{ "data": "LastDeployed", "name": "LastDeployed", "width": "10%" },
{ "data": "Sql", "name": "Sql", "width": "10%" },
{ "data": "Web", "name": "Web", "width": "10%" },
Another silly thing that I have missed was to clear out the cache on the browser as it sometimes renders a cached version.
Hope this helps other people.
