Custom data source property dataSrc and pagination issue

Answer 1

CAUSE

In server-side processing mode DataTables expects certain structure in returned data. Parameters draw, recordsTotal and recordsFiltered should be top-level properties. You response has these parameters as sub-properties of data, not where DataTables would be looking for them.

SOLUTION

Set parameters draw, recordsTotal and recordsFiltered as top-level properties of JSON response where DataTables expects them to be.

Use the following code for ajax.dataSrc option:

dataSrc: function(json){
   json.draw = json.data.draw;
   json.recordsTotal = json.data.recordsTotal;
   json.recordsFiltered = json.data.recordsFiltered;

   return json.data.data;
}
