My current problem is how could I properly perform pagination in DataTable to generate lengthMenu (Showing 1 to 10 of 57 entries) dynamically and only load data when next page is clicked.
So far my understanding on server-side processing is like this:
My web service is returning data from database using MySQL with limit and offset in JSON format.
Assuming that the JSON data is correct how could I properly paginate my DataTable?
Below is my code:
var Table1 = $('#table').DataTable({
"processing": true,
"serverSide": true,
"ajax": {
"url": SomeWorkingURLS,
"dataType": "jsonp"
},
"columns": [
{ "data": "Column1" },
{ "data": "Column2" },
{ "data": "Column3" },
{ "data": "Column4" }
],
"columnDefs": [
{
"render": function ( data, type, row ) {
return data + "<hr>" + row.data1;
},
"targets": 0
},
{
"render": function ( data, type, row ) {
return data + "<br>" + row.data2 ;
},
"targets": 1
},
{
"render": function ( data, type, row ) {
return data ;
},
"targets": 2
},
{
"render": function ( data, type, row ) {
if (row.status == '2'){
return '<button class="fas fa-edit btn-success" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Edit" value="' + data + '">Verify</button>'
+ ' <button class="fas fa-undo btn-danger" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Resend" value="' + data + '"> Authenticate</button>';
}
else{
return '<button class="fas fa-edit btn-success" data-toggle="tooltip" title="Edit" value="' + data + '">Authenticate</button>';
}
},
"targets": 3
},
{ "width": "14%", "targets": 0 },
{ "width": "60%", "targets": 1 },
{ "width": "10%", "targets": 2 },
{ "width": "16%", "targets": 3 , "class":"dt-center"},
],
"destroy": true,
"searching" :false
});
Table1.draw();
$("select[name*='table_outbound_shipment_list']").removeClass('form-control');
$("#table_outbound_shipment_list_length").remove();
$('.form-control.form-control-sm').removeClass('form-control');
My web service would always return 10 row of data (or am I doing wrong here?)
