scroller.serverWait

Time delay before new data is requested when server-side processing is enabled.
Please note - this property requires the Scroller extension for DataTables.

Description

When using server-side processing (serverSide), Scroller will wait a small amount of time to allow the scrolling to finish before requesting more data from the server. This can be useful to help prevent you from DDoSing your own server with frequent Ajax requests as the user scrolls through a table!

The wait time can be configured by this parameter.

Type

number

Description:: Time to wait before loading additional data after scrolling ends - milliseconds.

Default

Value: 200

Wait 200mS before drawing when server-side processing is enabled

Example

Wait 0.5s after scrolling ends before loading new data:

new DataTable('#myTable', {
	scrollY: true,
	scroller: {
		serverWait: 500
	}
});
