api method to show datatables empty message

pmengo

Is there a way to show the empty message , calling api method?

ex:

if (obj.tbl.data().count() == 0) {

                    $('#' + obj.tableId + ' .dataTables_empty').parent().show();
                    var el = $("#" + obj.tableId + "_wrapper > div:nth-child(2) > div > div > div.dataTables_scrollHead > div > table > thead > tr > th:last");
                    el.append("<button class='btn btn-xs btn-success tblCreateBut'><i class='fa fa-plus fa-xs'></i></button>");
                }

for instance, instead of" $('#' + obj.tableId + ' .dataTables_empty').parent().show(); " , use of obj.tbl.showEmptyMessage() ???

Thanks in advance

The empty message should be shown automatically. I'm afraid I don't quite understand the goal here. Could you possibly clarify?
