LengthLinks

Page length control via links for DataTables

  • Author: SpryMedia Ltd
  • Requires: DataTables 3+
  • License: MIT

This feature plug-in for DataTables adds page length control links to the DataTable. The layout option can be used to insert the control using the lengthLinks option.

Use

This plug-in can be obtained and used in multiple different ways.

Browser

This plug-in is available on the DataTables CDN:

JS

The plug-in will then automatically register itself against a global DataTables instance. This file can also be used if you are using an AMD loader such as Require.js.

Note that if you are using multiple plug-ins, it can be beneficial in terms of performance to combine the plug-ins into a single file and host it on your own server, rather than making multiple requests to the DataTables CDN.

NPM

The plug-ins are all available on NPM (which can also be used with Yarn or any other Javascript package manager) as part of the datatables.net-plugins package. To use this plug-in, first install the plug-ins package:

npm install datatables.net-plugins

Then import datatables.net, any other DataTables extensions you need, plus the plug-in:

import DataTable from 'datatables.net';
import 'datatables.net-plugins/features/lengthLinks/dist/dataTables.lengthLinks.mjs';

Examples

new DataTable('#myTable', {
   layout: {
     topStart: 'lengthLinks'
   }
 } );

new DataTable('#myTable', {
   layout: {
     topStart: 'lengthLinks'
   },
   lengthMenu: [ [10, 25, 50, -1], [10, 25, 50, "All"] ]
 } );

Version control

If you have any ideas for how this plug-in can be improved, or spot anything that is in error, it is available on GitHub and pull requests are very welcome!
