Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined datatables

Question

I want to implement datatables but i am getting the following error:

jquery.dataTables.min.js:48 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
at jquery.dataTables.min.js:48
at i (jquery.dataTables.min.js:35)
at Object.success (jquery.dataTables.min.js:35)
at u (jquery-3.3.1.min.js:2)
at Object.fireWith [as resolveWith] (jquery-3.3.1.min.js:2)
at k (jquery-3.3.1.min.js:2)
at XMLHttpRequest.<anonymous> (jquery-3.3.1.min.js:2)

My implementation looks like this:

var oTable2 = $('#MyDataTable2').show().DataTable({
  "ajax": {
      "url": 'http://mvc/ComplaintHandlerSquadFind',                         
      "type": "GET",
      "dataSrc": "Members",
      "data": { Code : $('#input_1').val() }
  },
  "columns": [
      {"data": "Code"},
      { "data": "Name" },
      { "data": "Email" }
          ]
})

This is the JSON getting loaded into the datatable:

[{"Members":[{"Code":"001","Name":"Bay","Email":"[email protected]"},{"Code":"00458","Name":"Beng","Email":"[email protected]"}]}]

You are attempting to access the length property of something. This is not shown in the snippet you have given, please provide all your code — wmash

Usually this means that jQuery DataTables cannot find the data in the response to the Ajax request, see TypeError: Cannot read property ‘length’ of undefined for more information.

Use the following value for ajax.dataSrc option:

"dataSrc": "0.Members"
