processing

Since: DataTables 1.10

Feature control the processing indicator.

Description

Enable or disable the display of a 'processing' indicator when the table is being processed (e.g. a sort) for server-side processing. This is particularly useful for tables with large amounts of data where it can take a noticeable amount of time to sort the entries.

With client-side processing the search is actually performed synchronously so there is no processing indicator.

Type

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

Default

false

Example

Enable processing display:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	processing: true
});
