r - Remove "Showing 1 to N of N Entries" Shiny DT

You can use the dom option to determine which elements of the data table are shown. In the call to data table, you pass a named list of options to the options argument. dom accepts a character string where each element corresponds to one DOM element.

# only display the table, and nothing else
datatable(head(iris), options = list(dom = 't'))

# the filtering box and the table
datatable(head(iris), options = list(dom = 'ft'))

In your case, i is the table information summary: that's the one you want to leave out. You can also use this method to remove other elements like the search box or pagination controls.

See section 4.2 on this page for how to do this in R: https://rstudio.github.io/DT/options.html

This page in the Datatables manual discusses the DOM option: https://datatables.net/reference/option/dom
