Hi,

I want to create list of person using datatable-editable, but it seems the datatables can't work if we use ng-repeat, is there any js need to be setup for datatable-editable for ng-repeat? i already add 2 js (datatables.bootstrap.js & datatables.min.js)

HTML

<table class="table table-striped table-hover table-bordered" id="sample_editable_1" >
                <thead>
                    <tr>
                        <th> Username </th>
                        <th> Full Name </th>
                        <th> Email Address </th>
                        <th> Notes </th>
                        <th> Edit </th>
                        <th> Delete </th>
                    </tr>
                </thead>
                <tbody>

                    <tr ng-repeat="person in vm.persons">

                        <td>{{person.name}}</td>

                    }
                });

result: (only 2 static record will be shown in datatables)

    Hi,

    Datatables is a jQuery based library. As you probably know, Angularjs does not like jQuery libraries much. Because, Angular has it's own binding mechanism and updates DOM independently. So, for ng-repeat, angular dynamically builds table, but datatables read table only once. That's why it can not know that angular updated it. You have a few options:

    • datatables library may have some 'update' method that you can use after angular binding. See it's docs since I did not use datatables before.
    • use jQuery, instead of angular's ng-repeat
    • search for an angular wrapper for datatables
