Custom column type select with dynamic options about active-table HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @dmiric.

Active Table does not allow new properties to be set/changed after the table has rendered - this has been done to minimize the amount of times the component needs to re-render and for ease of maintenance purposes. Therefore, when you set the
customColumnTypes property later, it does not take effect.

The best way to solve this issue is to render Active Table only when the data required has been downloaded. Assuming that you are using vanilla js, this can be achieved by using a container element:

<div id="container-element"></div>

And then adding it in your javascript as:

const activeTable = document.createElement('active-table');
document.getElementById('container-element').appendChild(activeTable);

Let me know if this helps you. Thanks!

Umm ok I'll try that. Still it would be good to be able to refresh items in select. That must be a very common use case.

Thank you tho.

When initially designing the component I did not anticipate that its configuration (a part from data) may need to be changed dynamically, hence I optimised it to be rendered once.
I think you are right that sometimes the configuration may need to be changed during a session. Active Table is updated continuously, hence I will explore this option in the future. Thankyou for your feedback!!
