Data table doesnt load the data sometimes

[jakubbares]

My implementation of data table about 25% of the time doesnt load the data, although further analysis showed the function to load the data was called successfully and data were there in $scope.data. Also the loading message did not show at all indicating there was some isssue initiating the loading.
Does any one know what could be the issue?

Having a similar issue with a pretty updated fork, we mitigate it currently by either forcing digest's that aren't happening or re-instantiating the table (a lot of options-specific-logic exists only in compile, constructor, similar call-once functions - and there seems to be at least 6 or so missing $scope.$watch'es in this main table implementation for data at different levels depending on using paging, or other items)

That being said, we still haven't ironed this issue out, but it only happens >5% of the time with no known specific reproduction steps and we plan to fix that with a logic-flow refactor.

@jonshaffer Hi Jon,
I now have an issue where the data never loads. I really dont understand, why. No errors in console.
Could you please elaborate on how you managed to solve such similar issue?
Forcing digests?
Reinstantiating the table?
I could not find in the documentation how to re-render the table for example.

We've had to add scope watches to a lot of places and take code out of constructors to get this data table to work in a SPA search form. It's a little much to describe here, but basically most components in the table in this version have their logic executed once in constructors.

You could try one of these:

1. Attach a codepen with what you're describing, so future people can benefit from conversation here
2. Try my fork: https://github.com/jonshaffer/angular-data-table

Would love an update, or more info about what specifically you're seeing

I would like to try rendering the table by a render function. Is there anything like that?
I would put the render function into https://css-tricks.com/using-requestanimationframe/ block

I was having issues with the table not loading and using your fork fixed it - thanks jonshaffer
