How to implement server side rendering datatable, Using node and mongo db?

Question

So i have one user collection(mongo DB) which consists millions of user.

I m using nodejs as backend, angular js as frontend and datatable for displaying those users.

But datatable Load all users in one api call which load more then 1 million user.

This makes my API response two slow.

I want only first 50 users then next 50 then so on....

Server stack = node js + angular js + mongo DB

If you are using datatable with huge amount of data you should consider using server side processing functionnality.

Server side processing for datatable is described here : https://datatables.net/manual/server-side

But if you feel lazy to implement this on your server you could use third parties like :

• https://github.com/vinicius0026/datatables-query
• https://github.com/eherve/mongoose-datatable

Hope this helps.
