Tabulator: how to start remote pagination on arbitrary page

I've been quite pleased with how remote pagination on Tabulator works with automatic ajax loading, but I can't seem to find a way to set the page that is displayed when the table is first loaded. table.setPage(pageNum) only works for me after the first page has been fetched and rendered; if I do something like

new Tabulator("#my-tabular-table", { lots of stuff }).setPage(5)

then I get a Pagination Error - Requested page is out of range of 1 - 1: because the page count hasn't been received from the server yet.

Is there some way of doing this? Am I missing something? I realize that I could hook into some callback and switch to the desired page immediately after the first page has been loaded, but I'd rather not wait for an extra server call.

Solution

  • You can use the paginationInitialPage option in the table definition to set the page number for the initial load:

    var table = new Tabulator("#example-table", {
    pagination:"remote", //enable remote pagination.
    paginationInitialPage:2, // this option can take any positive integer value
});
