Count number of rows before and after reload

ChrisF · February 2019

I have set an interval to reload the DataTable every XY seconds, what I want to do is count the number of rows before the reload, and after, in case the number of rows are higher after the refresh I want to display an alert that a new reservation was made.

This is the code:

setInterval( function () {


                                var  rows = table.rows().count();
                                table.ajax.reload();
                                var  rows2 = table.rows().count();

                                if(rows2>rows) {
                                    alert('New reservation');
                                }
                            }, 3000 );

The output of rows and rows2 are the same, which are the number of rows AFTER the reload.
I looked at this post: https://datatables.net/forums/discussion/12613/fnreloadajax-count-rows-before-after
but couldnt get it to work, newLength = table.fnGetData().length; outputs nothing

I alredy figured it out in the meantime:

         setInterval( function () {


                                var  rows = table.rows().count();

                                table.ajax.reload( function () {
                                    var  rows2 = table.rows().count();
                                    if(rows2>rows) {
                                        alert("NEW RESERVATION!");
                                    }
                                } );
                            }, 30000 );
