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

$(this) did not work for me, probably because I am using TypeScript. So I used a different approach to get the JQuery element for the table wrapper and the DataTables API. This has been inspired by the answer of BitOfUniverse and tested with DataTables 1.10.

TypeScript:

'drawCallback': (settings: any) => {
      // hide pager and info if the table has NO results
      const api = new $.fn.dataTable.Api(settings);
      const pageCount = api.page.info().pages;

      const wrapper = $('#' + settings.sTableId).closest('.dataTables_wrapper');
      const pagination = wrapper.find('.dataTables_paginate');
      const info = wrapper.find('.dataTables_info');

      pagination.toggle(pageCount > 0);
      info.toggle(pageCount > 0);
 }
