Description

The paging feature of DataTables will display a pagination control with buttons that the end user can use to navigate the pages of the table. Which buttons are shown in the pagination control are defined by the option given here.

DataTables has six built-in paging button arrangements:

numbers - Page number buttons only (1.10.8)
simple - 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons only
simple_numbers - 'Previous' and 'Next' buttons, plus page numbers
full - 'First', 'Previous', 'Next' and 'Last' buttons
full_numbers - 'First', 'Previous', 'Next' and 'Last' buttons, plus page numbers
first_last_numbers - 'First' and 'Last' buttons, plus page numbers

The pagingType option is an alias to this option for all paging controls shown by the table. This option provides control on a per instance basis should you wish to show multiple paging controls for table.

			paging: {
				type: 'simple'
			}
		}
