deferRender

[pinamiranda]

Hi Derek,
Great project. Congratulations.
Since I have a long csv, I would like to defer the rendering for additional speed of initialization.
I'm not being able to use the "deferRender" feature (https://datatables.net/reference/option/deferRender)

By default, when DataTables loads data from an Ajax or Javascript data source (ajax and data respectively) it will create all HTML elements needed up-front. When working with large data sets, this operation can take a not-insignificant amount of time, particularly in older browsers such as IE6-8. This option allows DataTables to create the nodes (rows and cells in the table body) only when they are needed for a draw.

inside the datatables_options.
I suppose that this is linked to how csv-to-html-table is loading the DataTables.

Would it be easy to use a workaround so that the "deferRender" feature works?

Regards,
jm

This is a cool idea, but one that would require a pretty big rewrite of most of this code. We'd essentially need to load the csv file in via an AJAX call and push each row to datatables.

If you have some time to spend on it, I'd definitely welcome a pull request.
