Dynamically change gridOptions columnDefs
In the next plunkr, I want the Gender popup filter to be dynamically populated with an ajax call, but it doesn't work.
If I comment out line 17
$scope.newSelectOptions=[{"value":"New Item 1","label":"New Item 1"},{"value":"New Item 2","label":"New Item 2"},{"value":"New Item 3","label":"New Item 3"},{"value":"New Item 4","label":"New Item 4"}];
it works as I would like (just by simulating it), but it seems to happen that the ajax call fills the variable $scope.newSelectOptions
after creation columnDefs
.
I tried changing line 34:
selectOptions: $scope.newSelectOptions
in
selectOptions: newSelectOptions
selectOptions: 'newSelectOptions'
selectOptions: '$scope.newSelectOptions'
but none of them work.
So how can I dynamically change this selectOptions
or other objects in a $scope.gridOptions.columnDefs
dynamic way?

You can move the definition of Gender column to your own js link as shown below,
var genderColumn = { field: 'gender', filter: {
term: '1',
type: uiGridConstants.filter.SELECT,
//selectOptions: [ { value: '1', label: 'male' }, { value: '2', label: 'female' }, { value: '3', label: 'unknown'}, { value: '4', label: 'not stated' }, { value: '5', label: 'a really long value that extends things' } ]
selectOptions: []
},
cellFilter: 'mapGender', headerCellClass: $scope.highlightFilteredHeader };
and assign it in the Def column as shown below
columnDefs: [
// default
{ field: 'name', headerCellClass: $scope.highlightFilteredHeader },
// pre-populated search field
genderColumn,
// no filter input
{ field: 'company', enableFiltering: false, filter: {
noTerm: true,
condition: function(searchTerm, cellValue) {
return cellValue.match(/a/);
}
}},
// specifies one of the built-in conditions
// and a placeholder for the input
{
field: 'email',
filter: {
condition: uiGridConstants.filter.ENDS_WITH,
placeholder: 'ends with'
}, headerCellClass: $scope.highlightFilteredHeader
},
// custom condition function
{
field: 'phone',
filter: {
condition: function(searchTerm, cellValue) {
var strippedValue = (cellValue + '').replace(/[^\d]/g, '');
return strippedValue.indexOf(searchTerm) >= 0;
}
}, headerCellClass: $scope.highlightFilteredHeader
},
// multiple filters
{ field: 'age', filters: [
{
condition: uiGridConstants.filter.GREATER_THAN,
placeholder: 'greater than'
},
{
condition: uiGridConstants.filter.LESS_THAN,
placeholder: 'less than'
}
], headerCellClass: $scope.highlightFilteredHeader},
// date filter
{ field: 'mixedDate', cellFilter: 'date', width: '15%', filter: {
condition: uiGridConstants.filter.LESS_THAN,
placeholder: 'less than',
term: nextWeek
}, headerCellClass: $scope.highlightFilteredHeader
}
]
and in ajax response, when you have new select options, set it in gender column as shown below.
genderColumn.filter.selectOptions = [{"value":"New Item 1","label":"New Item 1"},{"value":"New Item 2","label":"New Item 2"},{"value":"New Item 3","label":"New Item 3"},{"value":"New Item 4","label":"New Item 4"}];

when you get a response from the server, get the column number you want to assign records to and set selectOptions values for it like
vm.gridOptions.columnDefs[7].filter.selectOptions = [
{
"value": "New Item 1",
"label": "New Item 1"
},
{
"value": "New Item 2",
"label": "New Item 2"
},
{
"value": "New Item 3",
"label": "New Item 3"
},
{
"value": "New Item 4",
"label": "New Item 4"
}
]
