Current behavior
I'd like to display the number of (filtered) records of the dataTable.
In principle, exactly what totalRecords does, but this is undefined without a paginator:
http://plnkr.co/edit/jhkD6vKRSLDu9OEeF1Zn?p=preview

Currently this is only possible by using dataToRender, which on the other hand does not work when i use a paginator

{{dataTable?.dataToRender?.length}} 

So i'd like to have one consistent way (public API) to be able to do this.

Summary:
Instead of

      <span *ngIf="pagination">
        {{dataTable?.totalRecords}}
      </span>
      <span *ngIf="!pagination">
        {{dataTable?.dataToRender?.length}}
      </span>

I want to be able to use

      <span>
        {{dataTable?.totalRecords}} <!-- or a different property, which is exposed as "API" -->
      </span>

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
Reduce complexity, easier to use API

• Angular version: 4.4.6

• PrimeNG version: 4.3.0

p-dataTable is deprecated and will be removed in favor of the new p-table (aka TurboTable) of 5.1.0 so closing the issue. Please try the new p-table once 5.1.0 is released.

@cagataycivici How is this possible with the new p-table? Is there a similar way to get the displayed rows count?
