Trying to work around problem with datatables pagination. The problem is:

1. I have some code to initialize Datatable in Laravel:

<script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            $('.js-dataTable-full').DataTable({
                ajax: {
                    "url": "{{ route('page.data') }}",
                    "type": "GET",
                },
                "autoWidth": false,
                "serverSide": true,
                "pageLength": 5,
                "bSort": false,
                "searching": true,
                // "order": [[1, "desc"]],
                "processing": true,
                "paging": true,
                "pagingType": 'full_numbers',
    .......................................
    Some text below

2. The data is loaded correctly, however there's still an issue with pagination. As you see, the pagination links are not active and cannot be clicked, though text on the left clearly says that there are only 5 of 8 entries on the page.
3. In the json response total number of items is present:

No ideas by now, so any help would be appreciated.
