Why there is time lag when using Kendo and angular JS - angularjs

I am newbie to Angular and Kendo,My case is like buttons other than edit must disappear for other users in the query screen and it should appear for the owner of the query alone.
Now it disappears after some time lag say one minute,why this lag occur?
Any help on this is greatly helpful for me....
On analysis,identified the below points:
-the function called in ng-show is not triggered immediately where ng-show is wrapped inside a template,then checked by assigning a constant value for ng-show still there is a delay in triggering the ng-show.But fixed style worked correctly example style=display:none..
-then i identified that angularjs directives are not invoked immediately after rendering kendoui grid row template, there is some delay to invoke the angularjs directives
Code:
$scope.showButton = function(userId){
if($scope.loggedInUserId == userId)
{
return true;
}
else
{
return false;
}
};
$scope.model.columns = [
{ field: "name",title:"Name", width: 300},
{ field: "userId",title:"User Id", width: 100},
{ field: "lastModified",title:"Last Modified Date", width: 200},
{ field: "visibility",title:"Visibility", width: 100},
{ template: "<img title='Edit' src='content/images/glacier/2.0.1/generic/normal/png21/d_040_edit_normal.png' onmouseover=\"this.src='content/images/glacier/2.0.1/generic/active/png21/d_040_edit_active.png'\" onmouseout=\"this.src='content/images/glacier/2.0.1/generic/normal/png21/d_040_edit_normal.png'\" ng-click='viewQuery(#=id#);disableSave(\"#=userId#\")' alt='Edit'><img title='Make Public' src='content/images/glacier/2.0.1/generic/normal/png21/d_150_team_normal.png' onmouseover=\"this.src='content/images/glacier/2.0.1/generic/active/png21/d_150_team_active.png'\" onmouseout=\"this.src='content/images/glacier/2.0.1/generic/normal/png21/d_150_team_normal.png'\" ng-click='makePublic(#=id#)' ng-show='showButton(\"#=userId#\")' alt='Public'><img title='Make Private' src='content/images/glacier/2.0.1/generic/normal/png21/d_118_user_normal.png' onmouseover=\"this.src='content/images/glacier/2.0.1/generic/active/png21/d_118_user_active.png'\" onmouseout=\"this.src='content/images/glacier/2.0.1/generic/normal/png21/d_118_user_normal.png'\" ng-click='makePrivate(#=id#)' ng-show='showButton(\"#=userId#\")' alt='Private'><img title='Delete' src='content/images/glacier/2.0.1/generic/normal/png21/d_030_delete_normal.png' onmouseover=\"this.src='content/images/glacier/2.0.1/generic/active/png21/d_030_delete_active.png'\" onmouseout=\"this.src='content/images/glacier/2.0.1/generic/normal/png21/d_030_delete_normal.png'\" ng-click='deleteQuery(#=id#)\' ng-show='showButton(\"#=userId#\")' alt='Delete'>", title: "Operations" },
];
$scope.model.gridOpts = {

filterable: { extra: false },
scrollable: true,

pageable: true,
batch: false,
reorderable: true,
sortable: true,
editable: "inline",
};

Without having a JSFiddle to analyze, it will be hard to pin down the problem. But I'll provide a possible solution that you can at least investigate.
Angular is only able to hide those buttons after it, and everything it depends on, has started up. Which means downloading the angular code, waiting for everything else to load, parsing the HTML, resolving any data dependencies, etc. At that point it will make modifications to the DOM (which is when your buttons hide).
There are several ways to handle this, from using ng-cloak, not showing anything on the screen until it's been modified appropriately, or hiding all the optional controls and just showing what the user does have access to after Angular loads.
Here is one option which I just used in a project. Add this code at the TOP of your entry file (like index.html, default.html, whatever):
.ng-hide {
display: none !important;
}
Now apply the ng-hide class to any of those buttons you don't want to show until you know what they have access to.
By placing this at the top of the default file, it won't show at all until it's told to. If you place it in a .css file, then it will sometimes appear briefly until the .css file it loaded, parsed and applied.
Another option is to look at ng-cloak. You can try out it out here: http://plnkr.co/edit/?p=preview
The fact that it's taking upwards of 60 seconds I believe you said, leads me to believe that maybe it is waiting for required data to get resolved before it can analyze permissions.
If you don't understand how the resolve statement works in routes, you can read about here:
http://www.undefinednull.com/2014/02/17/resolve-in-angularjs-routes-explained-as-story/
I'm not sure if that will fix your problem, but once you can create a jsfiddle then you'll have many more people jumping in to answer this question.

angular ui-grid row selection

I am using angular ui.grid my problem is when I using like below click the row its selected
enableRowSelection: true,
enableRowHeaderSelection: false,
multiSelect: false
after i changed to
enableRowSelection: true,
enableRowHeaderSelection: true,
multiSelect: false
now only select checkbox working but did not work click row please help...
this issue has supposedly long been fixed (https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-grid/commit/679b615bd19ff71ff1e835d7f6066e7a919f279a), but it still persisted for me in angular-ui-grid version 3.1.1
There's a fresh issue about it (https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-grid/issues/5474) with a workaround to override a css rule with this one:
.ui-grid-cell.ui-grid-disable-selection.ui-grid-row-header-cell {
pointer-events: auto;
}
See this issue: https://github.com/angular-ui/ng-grid/issues/2254
Currently both row header selection and row selection do not work in concert. I believe the former was intended as a work-around having row selection when cell navigation was being used.
The change is listed as an enhancement so it's on the roadmap, just not slated for the 3.0 release.
Update:
OK, here's how you can do it (though relying on an unreleased beta module for something that's "urgent" is not a great idea, IMO).
Take the code from the selection feature's uiGridCell directive, rip it out, and put it into your own module. Specifically this code here: https://github.com/angular-ui/ng-grid/blob/v3.0.0-rc.20/src/features/selection/js/selection.js#L757
Here's some unfinied example code. You'll want to make sure that you don't bind on row header cells or the checkbox selection won't work.
angular.module('ui.grid.custom.rowSelection', ['ui.grid'])
.directive('uiGridCell', function ($timeout, uiGridSelectionService) {
if ($scope.col.isRowHeader) {
return;
}
registerRowSelectionEvents();
function selectCells(evt) { ... }
function touchStart(evt) { ... }
function touchEnd(evt) { ... }
function registerRowSelectionEvents() { ... }
});
And lastly here's a plunker that demonstrates the whole thing. You can just copy this code and tweak it as you like: http://plnkr.co/edit/44SYdj19pDDaJWiSaPBt?p=preview

Bootstrap dropdown in column header

I've been trying to use the ng-grid 3.0 (ui-grid). I have managed to populate my grid and it's been very responsive and it's features are really amazing. But I'm trying to customize my column headers, as I need more info there.
I can create a custom header cell template, as indicated in the docs, but I don't seem able to use a Bootstrap Dropdown there, it gets cropped and I can't use it at all. Some googling got me thinking it is probably some issue with the overflow attributes, but still I can't solve it. My grid options is as follows:
$scope.columnDefs = [
{ name:'name', displayName: 'Vdd', headerCellTemplate: 'headerTemplate.html' },
{ name:'gender', headerCellTemplate: 'headerTemplate.html' },
{ name:'company' }
]
$scope.gridOptions = {
columnDefs: $scope.columnDefs,
rowTemplate: 'rowTemplate.html',
data: 'data'
};
I have forked an example in plunkr and managed to reproduce my issue:
http://plnkr.co/edit/qdrFiifiz18fxB8w6Aja?p=preview
I want to replace the built-in dropdown menu (since it doesn't seem to allow nesting and sub-menus) and add another one (so in the end, I'd have two dropdown menus in each header cell)
Any help is appreciated =)
I am proud to say I think I've figured it out. I've been digging through ui-grid's source code and narrowed it down to this block (lines: 2847 - 2852).
function syncHorizontalHeader(scrollEvent){
var newScrollLeft = scrollEvent.getNewScrollLeft(colContainer, containerCtrl.viewport);
if (containerCtrl.headerViewport) {
containerCtrl.headerViewport.scrollLeft = gridUtil.denormalizeScrollLeft(containerCtrl.viewport,newScrollLeft, grid);
}
}
I noticed that containerCtrl.headerViewport.scrollLeft was never getting set to newScrollLeft. A quick google search led me to this StackOverflow thread which says that you can't set the scrollLeft property of an element if it's overflow is set to visible.
My solution was to replace containerCtrl.headerViewport.scrollLeft = gridUtil.denormalizeScrollLeft(containerCtrl.viewport,newScrollLeft, grid); with containerCtrl.headerViewport.style.marginLeft = -gridUtil.denormalizeScrollLeft(containerCtrl.viewport,newScrollLeft, grid) + 'px'; which just sets a negative margin on the header. Then add an overflow:hidden; style to .ui-grid-render-container-body to hide headers that extend beyond the main grid viewport.
Doing this messed up the placement of column menus, but there is an easy fix. On line 514 replace var containerScrollLeft = renderContainerElm.querySelectorAll('.ui-grid-viewport')[0].scrollLeft; with var containerScrollLeft = renderContainerElm.querySelectorAll('.ui-grid-viewport')[0].style.marginLeft; to use the margin instead of the scroll value in the menu placement calculation.

Bootstrap Datepicker with angular JS issue (again)

I am trying to create an editable Grid in which there is a dateField which is editable. The cell will be shown as editable only if Cell is focussed
$scope.gridOptions = {
data: 'result',
enableCellSelection: true,
enableRowSelection: false,
enableCellEditOnFocus: true,
multiSelect: false,
columnDefs: [
{ field: 'name', displayName: 'Name', enableCellEdit: false, width: 60 },
{ field: 'age', displayName: 'Age', enableCellEdit: false, width: 60 },
{ field: 'sex', displayName: 'Sex', enableCellEdit: false, width: 90 },
{ field: 'dob', displayName: 'DOB', width: 150,
editableCellTemplate: '<input type="text" datepicker-popup="dd/MM/yyyy" is-open="true" ng-input="COL_FIELD" ng-model="COL_FIELD" datepicker-append-to-body=true />',
}
]
};
In the editableCellTemplate, if i am not using is-open="true", then pop up is not coming. If i am not using ng-input="COL_FIELD", focus is not getting removed from any cell. So, datepicker is not getting hidden .But if i am using both then, value is not getting selected. In the console the error says Expression 'true' used with directive 'datepickerPopup' is non-assignable!
There are a lot of questions on stackoverflow for this. I tried almost all, but no sucess.
What can be done? How can i remove the error? Please provide me with a working plunker. I am not able to create this issue with the plunker.
Edit
I think, i could not remove the error. The error is still the same
Expression 'true' used with directive 'datepickerPopup' is non-assignable!
How can i remove it? After removing it, i am sure it will work. I tried taking it as a scope variable, and referencing it, but value is not getting replaces as true in when i am checking it using Inspect element. If i am using it as a variable and concatenating the value in template like 'is-open="' + $scope.dateFormat.opened + '"' , still the same error is there.
Edit 2
What is this is-open used for? Somewhere i see its value equlas to true, somewhere just opened. In one of the example over here in Stackoverflow its just opened1 and opened2. What is this? And how to use this?
I have removed the error using bcombs technique
Edit 3
After further debugging, i found that, datePicker is getting opened (if i am using the method mentioned by bcombs)but, it is getting closed as soon as it is opening.
$scope.$on('ngGridEventStartCellEdit', function () {
debugger;
});
Edit 4
From more manipulation what i concluded is
If ng-input is used, then it breaks the 2 way binding. i.e If u change the date value textfield, then in the datePicker it will be reflected, but if you will try to change the value using datePicker, it will not be reflected in textField.
If you remove ng-input, this 2 way binding, remain correct, so it works, but this causes ngGridEventEndCellEdit event NOT fired. so, the focus is not getting lost. Value is getting selected, datePicker is getting closed (if instead enableCellEditOnFocus:true, i use enableCellEdit:true), but focus remains on the textField..
Need help. Hope the update helps in solving the issue
I'm no expert on bootstrap directives or their angular implementations... But to directly answer the question of how to remove the bug:
I'm fairly certain that the is-open attribute cannot be a primitive value. It needs to be a variable that will hold the (boolean) state of whether this particular widget is open. In my code, I use a single object to hold these flags for all my datepickers, such as:
openDatePickers: {}
Then, in the cellTemplate string, I give it a unique id such as:
' is-open="openDatePickers[\'dob_{{row.entity.name}}\']" '
(note that I'm using the "name" property to match your example, but a unique ID is preferred).
Edit in response to comment:
The celltemplate has access to its controller scope, so the simplest approach is to simply declare:
$scope.openDatePickers={};
As for how this works, it depends a little on which codebase you are using.
I'm using angular-ui, and in ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.8.0.js at line 1140 you can see where the directive manages the "is-open" attribute.
If the attribute is not supplied, the directive manages this flag internally with a closure, but behavior is different When the attribute IS supplied. The way the assignment works is straightforward in both cases: the variable (whether the internal closure, or the one you supplied in the attribute) is simply toggled between states.
Edit in response to your debugging
As far as the focus thing: I don't use ng-input or enableCellEditOnFocus. I do use:
enableCellSelection: true
...and our client didn't want manual edits of the field to be allowed, so my input element has:
ng-readonly="true"
This should be a functional workaround for your issue as long as your use case doesn't require that you allow manual edits to the input field.

What's with this ghostly tooltip in the Grid dropdowns? (image included)

This appears on all of the columns in my grid:
Chrome 28.0.1500.72 m:
Firefox 21.0:
All of the columns in my table look something like this:
{
text: 'Audit Type',
width: 100,
sortable: true,
dataIndex: 'requestType'
},
I have no idea what's causing this. The javascript console shows no errors about missing images either.
Any help that could point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated
More info
I'm using Chrome Version 28.0.1500.72 m and Extjs 4.2.1.883
My app is run on my own computer... so a local server. I'm using Play Framework with Scala on my backend.
Oh what silliness.
I did this earlier:
.x-panel {margin: 8em;}
This ended up moving the entire grid except for the menu shadows.
Giving the grid an id property in its definition and having this instead in my stylesheet solves the problem:
#grid {margin: 8em;}

ng-Grid columns stacked or not displaying properly

I am trying to display sample data in a ng-grid via AngularJS. Everything looks correct to me. If I pass 'ngGrid' in the module definition within my local project the columns are getting stacked one below the other. I tried doing this in plunker , but it's not rendering properly.
Here is the sample code.
http://plnkr.co/edit/AHQUjbus908HBLxUaIWr
The issue is with the references to the external nggrid files. A lot of times referencing github files doesn't work very well. I've moved the nggrid js and css into local plunkr files and forked your plunkr. It now works.
http://plnkr.co/edit/N5T0Ys3Fc58NymAvzMFj?p=preview
Try adding
minWidth: 50,
width: '*'
in you columnDefs like,
{
field: 'severity',
displayName: 'Severity',
resizable: true,
minWidth: 50,
width: '*'
}
It worked for me.
