Action Button loosing it's binding on browser resizing, Please Help

[nitin27may]

Hi @l-lin

I followed the example from angular-datatables advance example Bind Angular Directive and used it together with the Responsive plugin. but it's loosing action filed's Binding.

I have follow all comments from the issue #324 but no luck,

it's working fine in full screen.

Here is the Code:

'use strict';
angular.module('showcase.withResponsive', ['datatables'])
.controller('WithResponsiveCtrl', WithResponsiveCtrl);

function WithResponsiveCtrl($scope, $compile,DTOptionsBuilder, DTColumnBuilder) {
var edit = function() {
alert('edit!');
};

var deleteRow = function() {
    alert('delte!');
};
var actionsHtml = function (data, type, full, meta) {
return '<button class="btn btn-warning" ng-click="edit()">' +
    '   <i class="fa fa-edit"></i>' +
    '</button>&nbsp;' +
    '<button class="btn btn-danger" ng-click="deleteRow()">' +
    '   <i class="fa fa-trash-o"></i>' +
    '</button>';
};
 var createdRow = function (row, data, dataIndex) { 
    $compile(angular.element(row).contents())($scope);
};

$scope.edit = edit;
$scope.deleteRow = deleteRow;
$scope.message = '';
$scope.dtInstance = {};


$scope.dtOptions = DTOptionsBuilder.fromSource('http://127.0.0.1:1771/data.json')
    .withPaginationType('full_numbers')
.withOption('createdRow', createdRow)
    .withOption('responsive', true);
$scope.dtColumns = [
    DTColumnBuilder.newColumn('id').withTitle('ID'),
    DTColumnBuilder.newColumn('firstName').withTitle('First name'),
    DTColumnBuilder.newColumn('lastName').withTitle('Last name'),
    DTColumnBuilder.newColumn(null).withTitle('Actions').notSortable().renderWith(actionsHtml)
];

}

Table HTML

                           <table datatable="" dt-options="dtOptions" dt-columns="dtColumns" dt-instance="dtInstance" class="row-border hover" width="100%"></table>

Unfortunately, it's not possible to bind the angular directive inside the responsive extension. I don't really know how to do it.

[ghost]

what about the idea of compiling the content of the child after showing it ?

something like this :

    $compile(angular.element(row).contents())($scope);

@nitin27may : I didn't use the responsive plugin but implemented something pretty similar to what you are trying to achieve (I think).
I used the .renderWith(actionsHtml) method (from #bindAngularDirective) and on a button click, I show the supplementary row with the following method :

function actionHtml(data) {
            return '' +
            '<button class="btn btn-primary btn-xs" context-menu="menuOptions" ng-click="vm.rowDetailsClickHandler($event)">' +
            '   <i class="fa fa-plus-square"></i>' +
            '</button>'
}

function rowDetailsClickHandler(e) {
    var post_data = {};
    ...
    if (row.child.isShown()) {
            row.child.hide();
            tr.find('i.fa-minus-square').toggleClass('fa-plus-square fa-minus-square');
            tr.removeClass('shown');
        }
        else {
            function displayDetailsRow(data) {
                "use strict";
                row.child(data).show();
                tr.find('i.fa-plus-square').toggleClass('fa-plus-square fa-minus-square');
                tr.addClass('shown');
                compileElement(tr.next('tr'));
            }
            $http.post('http://127.0.0.1:5000/rowdetails/', post_data).success(displayDetailsRow);
        }
}

function compileElement(e) {
        "use strict";
        return $compile(angular.element(e).contents())($scope);
}

@l-lin is it fixed?

Hello, just to share an option to bind a directive in child rows that worked for me.

If you check the dataTables.responsive.js, Responsive object has a static object called ina property defaults with the following code:

details{
   renderer: function ( api, rowIdx, columns ) {
      var data = $.map( columns, function ( col, i ) {
            return col.hidden ?
                  '<li data-dtr-index="'+col.columnIndex+'" data-dt-row="'+col.rowIndex+'" data-dt-column="'+col.columnIndex+'">'+
                        '<span class="dtr-title">'+
                              col.title+
                        '</span> '+
                        '<span class="dtr-data">'+
                            col.data+
                        '</span>'+
                   '</li>' : 
                   '';
               }).join('');

               return data ?
                    $('<ul data-dtr-index="'+rowIdx+'"/>').append( data ) :
                    false;
           }}`

So, in the controller you must copy the code above and simply turn that into a function:

  function renderer( api, rowIdx, columns ) {
                var data = $.map( columns, function ( col, i ) {
                     return col.hidden ?
                         '<li data-dtr-index="'+col.columnIndex+'" data-dt-row="'+col.rowIndex+'" data-dt-column="'+col.columnIndex+'">'+
                              '<span class="dtr-title">'+
                                  col.title+
                            '</span> '+
                            '<span class="dtr-data">'+
                                col.data+
                           '</span>'+
                       '</li>' : 
                       '';
                   }).join('');

                   return data ?
                       $compile(angular.element($('<ul data-dtr-index="'+rowIdx+'"/>').append( data )))($scope) :  
                        false;
               }

And now we set the responsive option with our new function:

DTOptionsBuilder
     .fromFnPromise(fnPromise)
     .withOption('responsive', {
          details: {
              renderer: renderer
          }
     })

Great marcokorb !
good solution .
adding this function to the controller fixed it :

 function renderer(api, rowIdx, columns) {
                var data = $.map( columns, function ( col, i ) {
                     return col.hidden ?
                         '<li data-dtr-index="'+col.columnIndex+'" data-dt-row="'+col.rowIndex+'" data-dt-column="'+col.columnIndex+'">'+
                              '<span class="dtr-title">'+
                                  col.title+
                            '</span> '+
                            '<span class="dtr-data">'+
                                col.data+
                           '</span>'+
                       '</li>' : 
                       '';
                   }).join('');
                   return data ?
                       $compile(angular.element($('<ul data-dtr-index="'+rowIdx+'"/>').append( data )))($scope) :  
                        false;
               }

and add responsive option

.withOption('responsive', {
          details: {
              renderer: renderer
          }
     })

I am not able to use md-button or md-checkbox inside the opened box when clicking on the "plus".
Moreover, the ng-repeat did not work well for me.

<button> {{ song.finalFileSuggestions[0].fileName }}<br>{{ song.finalFileSuggestions[0].filePath }} </button>
<button> {{ song.finalFileSuggestions[1].fileName }}<br>{{ song.finalFileSuggestions[1].filePath }} </button>
<button> {{ song.finalFileSuggestions[2].fileName }}<br>{{ song.finalFileSuggestions[2].filePath }} </button>
<button> {{ song.finalFileSuggestions[3].fileName }}<br>{{ song.finalFileSuggestions[3].filePath }} </button>
<button> {{ song.finalFileSuggestions[4].fileName }}<br>{{ song.finalFileSuggestions[4].filePath }} </button>


<div ng-repeat="suggestion in song.finalFileSuggestions">inside repeat</div>

//moreover i cannot use my object song with ng-click, it becomes undefined
<button style="text-align:left;" ng-click="vm.changeIsM3uChecked(song, 0)"> 

The result of the silly 4 lines was just fine, however the ng-repeat did nothing.
However, when using a static array of numbers it did work, but indexing with it causedvery weird result (i can explain if required).

i generally get the impression that everything is different while coding in that special box with this $compile :[

Im not sure whether i have a stupid bug in my code or it is a real problem.
Could anyone use md-button for example in his code? (button is working well)

Thanks!

(i have abandoned this plugin. If admin finds it right, delete my post. thanks.)
