How to do pagination right?

All the examples out there, rely on fixed JSON files, that don’t show how you can do pagination by using JS.

I’m working with DynamoDB, and when I query for the data, I’m adding the data to the table like so:

//
//  ->  Execute the command
//
obj.ddb.query(params, function(error, data) {

    //
    //  1.  Check if there was an internal error
    //
    if(error)
    {
        console.info(params);
        return console.error(error);
    }

    data.Items.forEach(function(item) {

        //
        //
        //
        $('#table').bootstrapTable('insertRow', {
            index: 1,
            row: item
        });

    });

});

This works fine, but there isn’t a clear explanation how to go about doing the pagination. My questions are:

• How can I add the total amount of items with JS?

As already explained its only possible to load the data in chunks with ajax.

So your only option is to load the whole data into the table and then use the pagination option to only display some rows per page. The next version (will be released soon) can handle a lot of data without ajax, the current version have some perfocmance issues with large datasets, so you can only try if that is a way for you or not.

But how then I tell the table there is more data that the user can get? Aaaaaaa 🤪
