Custom JSON attribute for Total Records?

jmatt0806

Have tried finding an answer to this question with no luck:

Is it not possible to map a custom attribute for Total Records?

i.e. If JSON field name is "Total" can it be mapped to "totalRecords"?

You can use the ajax.dataSrc option as a function to be able to manipulate the JSON object returned from the server before DataTables uses it. That provides the opportunity to map between parameters however you need.

Any example of using "dataSrc" to return Total Records available?

Tried searching, but have yet to find an example.

Not directly, but the last example on that doc page shows how to use it as a function. Then all you would do is something like json.totalRecords = json.Total;.
