generating pagination, but only show 10 records server side question

Goddard

I want the data tables to be generated through ajax request calls. Right now I have it setup with the ajax config. I thought I was going to then be able to click on the pagination next button, or have some way to generate a pagination range, but I am having some difficulty finding the information.

So if on initial load it is showing say record 0 to 10, but I want to have a pagination with all the record ids in 10 record increments. Is this not possible?

If I have 50,000 records I want to display, but obviously I can't send those all to the browser and have datatables manage such a large dataset? This would take forever to load.

How do people handle this?

Thanks

Hi @Goddard ,

I don't follow, but it sounds like you may be describing server side processing. For server side processing, enable serverSide. The protocol is discussed here.

Cheers,

Found the answer right after I asked the question.

iTotalRecords
iTotalDisplayRecords

Just for future reference where is this in the documentation?

hmm, but I do not see the two options I listed above in this page. Is this undocumented?

Oh I see, it is the legacy documentation that i need to reference.
