datatable server side with deferloader and data ini

marcpirat

I try to use datatable with server side option, but i init table with some value;

Js part

var url = 'http://www.json-generator.com/api/json/get/bXZCNjxHCa?indent=4';

  var table = $('#example').DataTable({
    'processing': true,
    'serverSide': true,
    "deferLoading": 50,
    'ajax': {
      'url': url
    }
  });

Gone an example here

Actually my init data is displayed but when i try to go on next page, I see processing who is displayed... but new data is never displayed.

Hi @marcpirat ,

The problem is that the JSON returned isn't quite right - you're always returning this:

    "recordsTotal": 40, 
    "recordsFiltered": 40, 
    "draw": 1, 

The first page loads only because you had deferLoading enabled, so it gets what's in the table. Disabling that, and adding that 40 record page length, now loads the data - see here.

Cheers,

Colin

I search a way to init my table with some data (generated with thymeleaf) and when client click next page to do a call to the server...

don't know if it's possible
