Hello!
I would like to implement a datatable on my wordpress website, the situation is as follows:
- The number of posts is around 1500
- I would get the data via JSON url or via php file JSON
- I need pagination and search
The problem is that when I make a table with all the posts (1500) it loads the website for a very long time. Is it possible that depending on the change, the pagiantion page could also load, for example, the first 100 posts and then page 2 again the next 100 posts. But the search engine should work on all 1500 posts.
I searched for something on the internet and found the Pipeline option (https://datatables.net/examples/server_side/pipeline.html), but I don't know if this is what I'm looking for if it can be done at all.

DT's server-side processing will do that.

However, I don't know why you would want WordPress posts in a table. Do you have an example of such usage?
EDIT:....but what do I know about wordpress.....

@tangerine thanks for answer. That i know where to start.
I nee my post in table becuse i'm creating CMMS syst for me and i have a lot of equipment with a lot of data. And i need show this data in table.
I review this page for server side but i cant find how to do the connection between pagination and loaded post. I want to dp when you at page1 it's load first 100 post o from 0-100 and when you click the page2 it's load post from 100-200...
Where can i controll this?
You need to apply the lengthMenu option in your DT initialisation.

@tangerine i tkink that you dont realy understand what i want to do. I want to split source to multiple page and connect with pagination of table. So for example:
PAGINATION________SOURCE
Page 1_____________********/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/?page=1
Page 2_____________********/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/?page=2
Page 3_____________********/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/?page=3
Page 4_____________********/wp-json/wp/v2/posts/?page=4
....
So i need like this.
For that number of records, the table should load fast. This section of the FAQ should help, it discusses various techniques to improve performance,
Cheers,

Problem is that my custom end point for whole 1500 post is slow. for now that my site create JSON REST endpoint for all 500 post it's need 10second. so i am thinkih if i can split this to multiple page?
The Datatables way of paging is to use Server Side Processing. The protocol is described here. If you are unable to create a server script to follow that protocol then you can create your own system. You can use
ajax.dataas a function to pass the paging parameters to the server. Or you can useajax.url().load()to change the url.Kevin
