paging.previousNext

Since: DataTables 2.1

Include (or not) the previous and next buttons in the paging control.

Description

The paging control for DataTables will show Previous and Next buttons in the paging control along with the other buttons - e.g. by default it looks like:

First Previous 1 ... 5 6 7 ... 23 Next Last

In some cases you might wish to disable the previous and next buttons, which can be done with this feature. If done, the resulting layout for the paging buttons would be:

First 1 ... 5 6 7 ... 23 Last

This option can be combined with paging.firstLast and paging.numbers to provide complete control over the buttons that are shown in the paging control.

Please note that if paging.type or pagingType are set, this option will have no effect.

Type

This option can be given in the following type(s):

Default

  • Value: true

Example

Disable the previous and next buttons, leaving just the first, last and number buttons.:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	layout: {
		bottomEnd: {
			paging: {
				previousNext: false
			}
		}
	}
});
