An example of putting links in DataTables columns that includes the rows data.

This is done with column render whereby you want to modify the data being outputted by DataTables.

I added this code into the original DataTables Ajax example, it now adds a link in the id column for view.php?id=x where x is the current row id.

Instead of just specifiying the plain columns like:

columns: [
    {data: "id"},
    {data: "guid"},
    {data: "name"},
    {data: "status"}
]

You use the renderer to build a string with/without that rows data:

columns: [
    {
        data: "id",
        render: function (data, type, row, meta) {
            if (type === "display") {
                data = '<a href="view.php?id=' + data + '">' + row.id + '</a>';
            }
            return data;
        }
    },
    {data: "guid"},
    {data: "name"},
    {data: "status"}
]

The row will show the id as a link, you can also include an icon or button instead of dynamic data like:

columns: [
    {
        data: "id",
        render: function (data, type, row, meta) {
            if (type === "display") {
                data = '<a href="view.php?id=' + data + '"><i class="fas fa-eye"></i></a>';
            }
            return data;
        }
    },
    {data: "guid"},
    {data: "name"},
    {data: "status"}
]

This will have the FontAwesome eye icon as a link for view.php?id=x
