Hi, we are using headless WordPress and have our frontend developed as single page application. So we want to check if that setup is something that wpDataTables support. We understand that we would be need to implement parts of code on the frontend, that is not the problem if we can get the proper data delivered to frontend. So our question is: is that possible? Does the plugin send all the data through shortcode, or are there some other values sent elsewhere. We did see the wpDataTables global js var. What is needed to trigger proper display, etc?
Any support on this question would help us with decision to go with your plugin.
As far as i am aware, you should not have any issues in a setup like that.
I am just not sure if i fully understand exactly what kind of a display for the table you need.
Mostly, we just use a table shortcode, when we just need to use our plugin's built-in features to achieve a certain goal.
In some situations, a bit of additional custom work is needed, and our support is limited when that is the case,
but we like to advise as much as possible, especially if we have working examples.
Could you please elaborate a bit more on what kind of table you need, what the data type would be, where the input data would be coming from, for the table;
( if you have any example with screenshots or a short video , that would be the best),
and we will advise if it's possible?
Thank you.

If you'd like to get generally acquainted with the basics of our tables, you can check out this Features Overview page on our Documentation, and on the left side you will see a lot of useful examples and detailed documentation pages, it might help.
And, just wanted to point out that we have a Demo Sandbox site, where you can try out the plugin functionalities, on this link
and there is a 15-day money-back guarantee period, So if you purchase the plugin, you can safely fully test it out, and if it doesn't fit your needs you can request and receive a refund in that period. ( same goes for all plugins and add-ons)
we need tables, general tables and graphs from some data. From what we saw, wpDataTables can support that. But, we just want to be sure that if load it through JSON API in an environment that doesn't have normal WP hooks that it will work. For instance, I can see in your examples that you add a lot of info in wp_head, through wp_localize_scripts and similar. You load a lot of scripts depending on the use case, which is normal. But since our frontend is separated from WP that cannot be achieved automatically, we would need to add them manually. So, is there at least documentation on what we would need to include in our fronted to enable smooth operation of the plugin?
Firstly, my sincere apologies for all the waiting time.
We have confirmation.
With our plugin's built-in functionalities, currently, there is no way to achieve this,
but you could make custom routes that you would write yourself,
and you would have to create the logic that will pull data from the database that you need for tables, and to send them.
We did not create a PHP API or REST API for our plugin,
and we don't have anything about it in our documentation yet;
that is why you can only try to make a completely custom workaround, which would not be covered by our support.
Our developers will do their best to add our own solution for this in the future, but we can't say an exact ETA on it.
You can certainly follow our changeLog page if you'd like ( it is also available in the plugin dashboard), where we state any changes/new features/bug fixes during updates;
and our newsletter, so you're informed about new features, bug fixes, freebies, etc.
We already had some users requesting this, though, so, as more users vote, we are pushing it higher on our priority list.

and we will report back to confirm it for you as quick as possible.
I will let you know if they need anything else, or additonal details.

Pozdrav, Marko.
First of all, my sincere apologies for all the waiting time.
Our developers have been swamped with work, but I also did not check if they got all the details passed to them correctly right away,
i have realised they didn't get everything passed to them, that was my honest mistake.
I believe we should have confirmation for this tomorrow, I will ask our developers personally, and we will report back right away when they respond.
Thank you for all your patience.
Kind Regards,
