DataTable : How to hide the pagination and only show it as need?

Question

I have 2 tables that are using DataTable jQuery Plug-in. I wondering if there is a way to hide my pagination on the bottom right of my table.

Answer 1

Use drawCallback option to handle DT draw event and show/hide pagination control based on available pages:

$('#table_id').dataTable({
  drawCallback: function(settings) {
    var pagination = $(this).closest('.dataTables_wrapper').find('.dataTables_paginate');
    pagination.toggle(this.api().page.info().pages > 1);
  }
})
