pageLength
Since: DataTables 2.0
Paging length control.
Description
This feature displays a select dropdown that will change the page length used by the DataTable, along with a descriptive label. The select let's the end user select how many records should be shown per page.
The pageLength feature can be disabled completely using the lengthChange or paging options or by excluding it from the layout options (which is the preferred method as of DataTables 2).
Examples
Disable page length control with default layout:
new DataTable('#myTable', {
layout: {
topStart: null
}
});Show page length control bottom left of the table:
new DataTable('#myTable', {
layout: {
bottomStart: 'pageLength',
topStart: null
}
});Show page length control with options:
new DataTable('#myTable', {
layout: {
topStart: {
pageLength: {
menu: [5, 10, 25, 50]
}
}
}
