I started using yadcf and it works fine for my needs except for one thing, since I have quite a lot of rows for the datatable I use deferRender: true to speed things up. I would like to use yadcf with cumulative_filtering: true but since deferRender is set then the filters will only populate with what's being displayed on the current page.
So if the page length is 50 out of 200 unique rows the filter dropdowns will only contain the 50 rows and not 200 like I would want. This of course works if I set cumulative_filtering: false but then the results will not narrow down when filtering.
Same question was asked here with no real answer, how to use yadcf with DataTables deferRender: true
