Missing watch on options.enableFiltering

[TheHalcyonSavant]

I see many grid options are not watched, including enableFiltering on both the grid and columns. Any plans for implementing watchers on most options for dynamic change ? (I'm reading the latest source codes)

Refer #1819. Our general preference is to not implement additional watchers.

Thanks for the quick response.

Now, I'm struggling to find a solution with registerDataChangeCallback with possibility to extend ui-grid/uiGridHeaderCell. I can't think of easy solution, because uiGridHeaderCell directive has isolated scope. Also, col.enableFiltering doesn't respond to changes on uiGridCtrl.grid.options.enableFiltering, where uiGridCtrl is required from one of my custom directives within the grid (called 'uiGridToolbar').

i will be really pleased If I know how to change the child scope of the grid sub-directives from outside (without modifying the source of course). Or if there is some easier solution that I'm forgetting ?

ok, I found a different solution for my problem. I don't have to watch enableFiltering, I can enable the grid's filter as default on load, and then use some DOM hide/show toggling from my internal directive 'uiGridToolbar'. This way, I don't have to extend uiGridHeaderCell neither do any complications with gridApi.

This is also a duplicate of #2067, which is on my list to implement sometime.

@TheHalcyonSavant I'm in the same pickle. Can you show me how you managed to modify enableFiltering after loading remote data?

[PaulL1]

EnableFiltering should now update with notifyDataChange, and in fact I think the tutorial has an example of this.

[TheHalcyonSavant]

My enableFiltering is always true and in my uiGridToolbar directive I have filter button with onclick event that executes this:

$elem.closest('.ui-grid').toggleClass('filterable');

@paambaati you can toggle this class onload instead, in case you need only to show/hide the filters. This way it's much simpler as you don't depend on the internal watchers/events of the ui-grid.
