Aldeed tabular datatable

help
1

Hello,

I have used aldeed tablular package in my Application, now datatable takes some time to load data, while loading it’s shows “No record found”. I want to display loading or some message how can i?

I have tried as per the below link but it’s not working

https://datatables.net/examples/server_side/defer_loading.html

Thanks

In the link you posted there is no information about loading state, example shows pre-filled table as starting point and how to initialize tabular there without reloading data.

In theory you have possibility to insert template as described in “Template Cells” https://atmospherejs.com/aldeed/tabular.
So what is stopping you from covering whole table with it semitransparent and rendering loading animation ?
Kinda hacky, but I dont see how else to get reactive content in DOM based on collection.isReady .

Maybe it would be faster to clone package and add such functionality + PR it.

I have to deal with this soon as well. My client is having a heart attack when the table comes up with “no data found” for a second or two.

@shock I don’t think those template cells are rendered until after the data is loaded… I could be wrong though!

I might submit a PR for this in the next couple of weeks. It depends on if other new requirements will force me to use a home grown table solution instead.

Can you also +1 this issue in the repo? It’ll help get more support for adding this feature.
