Conditional Pagination on Datatable

Question

I need conditional pagination on data-table, that is, need to add pagination only if the number of records is > say 5.

The reason is when the pagination is included in the data table, it occupies the space of a row on screen. In maximum cases, the number of rows would be 5 only. So, the intent is to save the screen space for these majority cases.

Answer 1

According to primefaces' documentation:

set dataTable paginator like this

 paginator="true" rows="5" paginatorAlwaysVisible="false"

- the paginator will be visible only if there are more than 5 records in the table.
