Data tables are updating the wrong row

Data tables are updating the wrong row

Good afternoon, in the table I use the render of the "Sign document" button, after clicking an ajax request is executed in which the answer comes:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": 1236,
      "created_date": "03.11.2021 15:48:36",
      "is_revoked": true,
      "is_customer_signed": true,
      "is_contractor_signed": true,
      "type": 2,
      "created_by": "aaaa",
      "opened_by_user": true,
      "document_amount": "",
      "employee_vk_id": 111111111,
      "nickname": "vvvvvv",
      "login": "vvvv11",
      "contractor": "bbbbbbbbbb"
    }
  ],
  "response": true
}

Part of the code from the ajax request that I am updating the page with.

success: function (result) {
      if (result.response) {
        let dataRow = result.data[0];
        let allRows = tableDoc.rows().data();

        for (let i = 0; i <= allRows.length; i++) {
          if (allRows[i].id === dataRow.id) {
            tableDoc.row([i]).data(dataRow).draw();
          }
        }
        $("#subscribeDoc").modal("hide");
      }
    }

The problem is that the code does not update the line, but replaces the next one with new data. The mistake is that I'm accessing row incorrectly?

    Answer ✓

    The default order returned using rows() is the current order of the table. You are using tableDoc.row([i]) to select the row to change. This uses the row index which is original data order (unsorted order). The row you are comparing allRows[i] is not the same as the row you are updating with tableDoc.row([i]).

    One option is to use the selector-modifier of {order:'index'} to get the rows in line 4, for example: let allRows = tableDoc.rows( {order:'index'} ).data(); to loop through in the unsorted order.

    A more efficient solution would be to use rowId set to the id. In the success function you can get the id and update the row directly using the row-selector as an id selector shown here. This will eliminate looping all the rows. Something like this:

    success: function (result) {
          if (result.response) {
            let dataRow = result.data[0];
            let id = dataRow.id;
            tableDoc.row( "#" + id ).data(dataRow).draw();
    
            $("#subscribeDoc").modal("hide");
          }
        }
