[datatable] DataTable: Hide the Show Entries dropdown but keep the Search box

Is it possible to hide the Show Entries dropdown but keep the Search box in DataTable? I want to always display 10 rows with pagination at the bottom along with search box but do not want to display the Show entries dropdown.

For DataTables <=1.9, @perpo's answer

$('#example').dataTable({
    "bLengthChange": false
});

works fine, but for 1.10+ try this:

$('#example').dataTable({
    "dom": 'ftipr'
}); 

where we have left out l the "length changing input control"

"searching": false,   // Search Box will Be Disabled

"ordering": false,    // Ordering (Sorting on Each Column)will Be Disabled

"info": true,         // Will show "1 to n of n entries" Text at bottom

"lengthChange": false // Will Disabled Record number per page

Add this option:

"bInfo": false

I solve it like that. Use bootstrap 4

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#table').DataTable({
            "searching": false,
            "paging": false,
            "info": false
        });
    });

This is key answer to this post "bLengthChange": false, will hide the Entries Dropdown

You can try this also.

simply hide it from CSS by using,

 .dataTables_length {
        display: none;
    }

Both will work.

If you're using Angular you can use the following code to do the same.

in component.html

<table id="" datatable [dtOptions]="dtOptions" class="table dataTable">

and in your component.ts

 dtOptions: any = {}


 this.dtOptions = {
  searching: true,    //enables the search bar
  info: false        //disables the entry information
}

To disable the "Show Entries" label, add the code dom: 'Bfrtip' or you can add "bInfo": false

$('#example').DataTable({
    dom: 'Bfrtip'
})

To disable the "Show Entries" label, use "bInfo", example: "bFilter" is the search component, but are active by default.

$(document).ready( function () {
  $('#example').dataTable( {
    "bInfo": false
  } );
} );

Enable or disable the table information display. This shows information about the data that is currently visible on the page, including information about filtered data if that action is being performed.

sDom: "Tfrtip" or via a callback:

"fnHeaderCallback": function(){
    $('#YOURTABLENAME-table_length').hide();
}

To hide "show entries" but still have pagination. I used the code below and it worked.

"bPaginate": true,
"bLengthChange": false,
"bFilter": true,
"bInfo": false,
"bAutoWidth": false

If using Datatable > 1.1.0 then lengthChange option is what you need as below :

$('#example').dataTable( {
  "lengthChange": false
});

Just write :

  $(document).ready( function () {
        $('#example').dataTable( {
          "lengthChange": false
        } );
    } );
