Select rows after setting data

[MuadDib]

I have a need to select rows programmatically after data is loaded. For example select row0 as soon as data is loaded.

Data, when loaded, is obviously missing $$hashkey and thus unable to be selected. I created ugly workaround by calling select function with $timeout.

This doesn't work:

    $scope.gridOptions.data =  someData;
    $scope.gridApi.selection.selectRow($scope.gridOptions.data[0]);

This works:

    $scope.gridOptions.data =  someData;
    $timeout(function () {
        $scope.gridApi.selection.selectRow($scope.gridOptions.data[0]);
    },
    100)

I spent some time trying to find event after data is processed by ui-grid but I was unable to. If there is any more elegant solution it would be quite appreciated,

There currently isn't an "after data is rendered" event, so the $timeout is the right approach (although I prefer $interval, as it doesn't break protractor testing so much). There is a commit out there that would introduce an after render event that might help, but I haven't reviewed it as yet to see whether it really does what we want.

Solution offered 2 weeks ago, no comments since, assuming original issue resolved.

Is there a "after data is rendered" event available now? Using timeout isn't an ideal approach, and I'm not able to find a better alternative.

Thanks.

I had to write a silly hack function to get the grid to refresh... it works.

gridRefreshSillyHack = function() {

    var tempRow= {
            column1: "",
            column2: "",
            column3: ""
        };
    $scope.myTableData.push(tempRow);

    $timeout(function () {
        $scope.myTableData.pop();       
        },1
    );

    $timeout(function () {
                    // selectedRowIndex was set in grid options' afterSelectionChange 
        $scope.gridOptions.selectRow(selectedRowIndex, true); 
        },1
    );

}

As of v3.0.0-rc.22, you can call modifyRows as follows:

$scope.gridOptions.data =  someData;
$scope.gridApi.grid.modifyRows($scope.gridOptions.data);
$scope.gridApi.selection.selectRow($scope.gridOptions.data[0]);

No $timeout needed.

Select only those rows who have boolean value after getting data?
