Setting recordsTotal client side rendering

tslima

Hy everyone,

I have a REST API that's already paginated. The API returns to me just the worth data of a page and also the total entries.

But I can't figure out how to tell to datatable that I have more entries then the length of data.

Since the data is already paginated I don't thing server side rendering is the answer, so how to set recordsTotal in client side rendering?

If you enable server-side processing, it will deal with that for you. For server-side processing, enable serverSide. The protocol is discussed here. Also see examples here. If you download the DataTables repo, there are examples of the server-side scripts in /examples/server_side/scripts,

Cheers,

Colin
