Unnecessary dataTable summary info

[MitchTalmadge]

This isn't urgent or anything, but I figured I'd bring it up. When disabling pagination on a b:dataTable, it still says "Showing x to y of x entries" at the bottom. Is this necessary? Example:

Wouldn't all the results be displayed all the time? I can't decide if it'd be best to leave or remove the text, so I'm just curious what others think.

Agreed. We probably shouldn't show that, if no pagination is used. Maybe we should even make it a toggleable option to show the entrycount?

As far as I saw there is no direct way in the JS api to do that. However, we could always hide the datatable_info element of the current datatable via css. Not the most elegant solution, but it may work.

Option is available. Workaround: custom-options = "info:false"

Thanks for giving us the hint, @mtvweb ! Now both the paginator and the info are hidden. I didn't implement an option to show the one while hiding the other. If someone needs that, a CSS statement will probably do the trick.

This change breaks my project. :-(

I would prefer a separate option for the info to have more flexibility. My project uses a table with a limited range of lines to show them all without pagination, but I need the information about the contained lines.

Also I use some tables in forms, showing a few lines with pagination, but without information to decrease the amount of information in it. i.E. a table with a pageLength = 5, pagination = true, info = false. In this case it is enough to have a page indicator showing that there is another page with lines.

After merging your PR #620, your project should be alive and kicking again :).
