How to count the entire number of rows in a datatable

I am using a datatable for my application. How do I get the total count of the rows in the datatable onload? My code:

$(document).ready( function() {
  $('#jobSearchResultTable').dataTable({
    responsive: true,
    "scrollY": 500,
    "scrollCollapse": true,
    "jQueryUI": true,
    "aaSorting": []
  });
)};

How to get the total count of rows in the datatable onload

Solution

  • Update for New Versions

    table.data().count()

    Reference:https://datatables.net/reference/api/count()

    For older versions:

    $(document).ready(function() {
 //Initialize your table
 var table = $('#jobSearchResultTable').dataTable();
 //Get the total rows
 alert(table.fnGetData().length);
});

    table.fnSettings().fnRecordsTotal();
