Cycling through display of table entries on a timer?

Ocen

I need to display 10 entries from the table, wait 10 seconds, then fade out (or slide out) those and display (by fade-in or slide-in) the next 10. Once all entries have been displayed, the program should loop back around to the first 10. I am pretty new to using DataTables and have no clue how to go about this. Could someone please help me? thanks!

Use the API
https://datatables.net/reference/api/

In particular, use page(), page(set) and page.len() to loop through pages in the table.
https://datatables.net/reference/api/page()

Use setInterval() to put the whole thing on a timer.

var table = $('#table').DataTable();
setInterval(function() {
    if (table.page() + 1 === table.page.len()) {
        table.page('first');
    } else {
        table.page('next');
    }
    table.draw('page');
}, 10000)

Don't forget to call draw() at the end or you won't see the changes.

As for animating it (fading/sliding), I don't know if you can do that.
