I am using Typescript and AngularJS. I have a template that contains a ui.grid directive.
The grid is displayed and at some later time an $http request gets the dat
Try the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html >
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge,chrome=1" />
</head>
<body ng-app="app">
<div ng-controller="gridController">
<!-- Initialise the grid with ng-init call -->
<div ui-grid="gridOptions" ng-init="GetGridData(urlList)">
</div>
</div>
<script src="Scripts/ng/angular.min.js"></script>
<script src="Scripts/ng-grid/ui-grid.min.js"></script>
<link rel="Stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Scripts/ng-grid/ui-rid.min.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">
var app = angular.module('app', ['ui.grid']);
app.controller("gridController",
["$scope", "$attrs", "$element", "$compile", "$http", "$q",
function ($scope, $attrs, $element, $compile, $http, $q)
{
$scope.urlList = "YourSourceUrl";
function fnGetList(url)
{
var deferred = $q.defer();
$http.get(url)
.success(function (data)
{
deferred.resolve(data);
})
.error(function (errorMessage)
{
alert(errorMessage);
deferred.reject;
});
return deferred.promise;
};
$scope.GetGridData = function (url)
{
console.log("In GetGridData: " + "Getting the data");
// Test Only - un-comment if you need to test the grid statically.
//$scope.loadData = ([
// {
// "UserName": "Joe.Doe",
// "Email": "Joe.Doe@myWeb.com"
// },
// {
// "UserName": "Jane.Doe",
// "Email": "Jane.Doe@myWeb.com"
// },
//]);
//return;
fnGetList(url).then(function (content)
{
// Assuming your content.data contains a well-formed JSON
if (content.data !== undefined)
{
$scope.loadData = JSON.parse(content.data);
}
});
};
$scope.gridOptions =
{
data: 'loadData',
columnDef:
[
{ field: 'UserName', name: 'User' },
{ field: 'Email', name: 'e-mail' }
]
};
}
]);
</script>
</body>
If you do not want to populate the grid immediately, delete the call to
ng-init
and call the associated function on some other event.
Hopefully, without knowing much more about your specific problem, this will guide you to the solution.
Cheers.
