How to make table jQuery pagination logic

Question

I am trying to make a jQuery "plugin" to paginate records on a table. According to my own question I tried to make manually.

Also, I am trying to figure out how to display the page numbers correlatively according to the buttonSize.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#tabla').pagination({
    pageSize: 1,
    buttonSize: 5,
    target: '#paginacion',
    template: `<nav class="text-center" aria-label="Page navigation">
  <ul class="pagination" id="paginacion">
  </ul>
</nav>`
  });  
});

$.fn.extend({
  pagination: function($options) {
    $el = this;
    buttons = $options.buttonSize || 5;
    htmlElement = $($options.template);
    target = $(htmlElement).find($options.target);
    rows = $($el).find('tbody tr');
    initialPage = 1;
    
    pagesAmount = Math.ceil(rows.length / $options.pageSize);
    pages = [];
    
    while(rows.length > 0) {
      let page = rows.splice(0, $options.pageSize);
      pages.push(page);
    }
    
    window.pages = pages;
    window.currentPage = initialPage;
    
    for(i=0; i<pagesAmount; i++) {
      paginationHTML = `<li><a data-page="${i}" href="#">${i+1}</a></li>`;
      target.append(paginationHTML);
    }
    $el.append(htmlElement);
    $el.find('tbody').html(pages[window.currentPage-1]);
    
    let scriptCode = `$('${$options.target} a').on('click', function() {` + "\n\t" +
                        `window.currentPage = $(this).attr('data-page'); ` + "\n\t" +
                        `$('#${$el.attr('id')} tbody').html(window.pages[window.currentPage]); ` + "\n" +
                        `$(this).parent().parent().find('li').each(function(item) { $(this).removeClass('active'); })` + "\n" +
                        `$(this).parent().addClass('active')` + "\n" +
                      `});` + "\n"
    $('body').append($('<script>').html(scriptCode));
  }
})

      <td>Column4: Row 8</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

I didn't use ES6 functions since our system is Microsoft based and it won't work on IE.

I am not sure how to adjust the button size so if I have two hundred rows it won't display two hundred pages.

Any suggestions?
