Need to reload the complete dashboard configuration

[cbresson33]

Hi there,

I am using your dashboard, and I am loving it.

I work on a dynamic dashboard, where list of widgets displayed comes from a database. There is no problem for the first loading of the dahboard, when it is created, but I need to reset the complete dashboard configuration during the user experience.

As a consequence, I need to reset the $scope.dashboardOptions variable, and reload a new configuration several times. Because of isolated scopes, resetting the variable does not make any changes on the view.

I tried to use an ng-if directive for the dashboard creation , but it worked only for the first load.

Is there a elegant way to do that, except reloading the complete page ?

Thank you...

@cbresson33, apologies for the late response. The dashboard directive will definitely need to be re-initialized/recompiled. It may not be the most elegant, but you could do something like this:

template:

<div ng-if="myOptions">
  <dashboard options="myOptions"></dashboard>
</div>

then, in your controller:

// Assuming you want to use a new options object called `newOptions`:
$scope.myOptions = false;
$timeout(function() {
  $scope.myOptions = newOptions;
}, 0);

@andyperlitch - do you think what I'm trying to achieve is the same as this issue ? see #142
i.e. I need to dynamically switch out templateUrl, then I expect the widget to be refreshed with the updated chart type.
This is what I would normally do: $scope.result.templateUrl = $scope.widget.templateUrl; , however the widget doesn't re-render the updated templateUrl until I do a hard refresh.

see #142

Hi,
I am pretty much facing the same problem.
I need to add widgetDefinitions dynamically to the array, but even when I do that they aren't reflected on the dashboard until I reload the complete dashboard, and this results in loss of data as all widget reload.
Is there someway, I can do this without reloading the dashboard?

Thanks.
