How to increase ng-repeat performance using Smart-Table? - angularjs

Question

I have a problem of performance and i don't find the solution.
Context: I need to display a lot of data ( 500 lines, 8 columns ) in a table. To displayed this data i chosed to use Smart-table because it offers good functionality but the problem is that i have a lot of data and the time of displaying data is very long ( 5 - 9 second, this depend of device performance ).
Important thing: I need to display all data so i don't want pagination method, limit filter.
So this code is working :
<ion-scroll class="scrollVertical" direction="xy" overflow-scroll="true" >
<table st-table="tableaux" class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th ng-repeat="column in ColumnTable">{{column.Label}}</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th ng-repeat="column in ColumnTable">
<input st-search="{{column.Id}}" placeholder="" class="input-sm form-control" type="search" ng-model="inputRempli"/>
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr ng-repeat="row in tableaux">
<td ng-repeat="column in ColumnTable" ng-init="colonne = column.Id">{{row[colonne]}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</ion-scroll>
I read that Ionic made a directive (collection-repeat) wich allows an app to show huge lists of items much more performantly than ng-repeat. So i tried to remake my solution with collection-repeat but that doesn't work...
Code collection-repeat solution:
<ion-scroll class="scrollVertical">
<table st-table="tableaux" class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th ng-repeat="column in ColumnTable">{{column.Label}}</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th ng-repeat="column in ColumnTable">
<input st-search="{{column.Id}}" placeholder="" class="input-sm form-control" type="search" ng-model="inputRempli"/>
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr collection-repeat="row in tableaux" item-width="200px" item-height="100px">
<td collection-repeat="column in ColumnTable" ng-init="colonne = column.Id" item-width="100px" item-height="100px">{{row[colonne]}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</ion-scroll>
Error: Maximum call stack size exceeded
Questions: Is there any angularjs or ionic solution to increase performance of smart-table with a lot of data ?
What's wrong with my collection-repeat ?

Answer 1

What version of Ionic are u using? If you are using version 1.0 beta 14 or higher use bind once (native in Angular 1.3)
It would like like this.
<ion-scroll class="scrollVertical" direction="xy" overflow-scroll="true" >
<table st-table="tableaux" class="table table-striped">
<thead>
<tr>
<th ng-repeat="column in ::ColumnTable">{{::column.Label}}</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th ng-repeat="column in ::ColumnTable">
<input st-search="{{::column.Id}}" placeholder="" class="input-sm form-control" type="search" ng-model="inputRempli"/>
</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr ng-repeat="row in ::tableaux">
<td ng-repeat="column in ::ColumnTable" ng-init="colonne = column.Id">{{::row[colonne]}}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</ion-scroll>

How are you loading your datas ?
If you are doing a $scope.ColumnTable.push(newData); then this is not a proper way to do it.
What I do is :
create a service that load a Temporary Table : let's call it myService.setTable().
Inform your controller with an event : This service sends an event $rootScope.$broadCast("myService.setTable-refresh")
Catch the event into your controller & update table : $scope.$on('myService.setTable-refresh,function(){ $scope.myWorkingTable =myService.getTable();});
Update your HTML to work with myWorkingTable
Moreover, you shall define an unique key into your ng-repeat for performance optimisation used by track by to prevent rebuilding already created content.
