pagination with ng-table in angular - angularjs

Question

I am using ng-table plugin to paginate a table like this:
$scope.ngtableParams = new ngTableParams({}, {
counts:false,
getData: function(params) {
return $http.get($rootScope.app.authApi + 'questions/' + selectedSubtopic.id).then(function(data) {
params.total(data.data.length);
return data.data;
});
}
});
Funnily ng-table calls getData() function everytime a user clicks on page numbers. And hits the entire thing again and fetches all the records and displays them. So pagination is essentially useless.
I need to have a client side pagination. Is it possible with ng-table?
Tried this as well
$http.get($rootScope.app.authApi + 'questions/' + selectedSubtopic.id)
.success(function(data){
$scope.ngtableParams = new ngTableParams({count:5}, {
counts:[],
paginationMaxBlocks: 13,
paginationMinBlocks: 2,
total:data.length,
getData: function(params) {
return data;
}
});
});
Same result with the above as well!

Answer 1

With the latest version of ng-table I end up using the following:
function IssueCtrl(NgTableParams, IssueService) {
var self = this;
loadTable();
function loadTable() {
IssueService.getIssues().then(function (issues) {
self.tableParams = new NgTableParams({
page: 1,
count: 5
}, {
dataset: issues // might be data instead of dataset depending on ng-table version
});
});
}
}
Client side pagination is properly working thanks to dataset.
So it should be something like this for OP:
$http.get($rootScope.app.authApi + 'questions/' + selectedSubtopic.id)
.success(function(result){
$scope.ngtableParams = new ngTableParams({count:5}, {
counts:[],
paginationMaxBlocks: 13,
paginationMinBlocks: 2,
total:result.length,
dataset: result // might be data instead of dataset depending on ng-table version
});
});
