refresh widgets

[GianVal]

Hello, I'm filling a list widget with some data and noticed that the widget itself does not show updated data while the code executes. some console.log show that is not a matter of data updating but the widget needs a graphical refresh (e.g. click on the screen) to be refreshed and show correct data. My question is: how to perform a forced refresh of the widget from the source javascript code?

Thank you!

depending on widget type could differ. The simple thing is after setting some properties to call:

$scope.$applyAsync()

some time  is better

$scope.setWidgetProp("widgetname","prop", value)
//better as setting the property $scope.view.wdg['widgetname']=value
$scope.$applyAsync()

or call it inside $timeout construct

for some other widgets like charts , possibly we need a extra update method like:

$scope.app.fn.triggerWidgetService("timeSeriesChart-1","updateChart");

so if this mention above does not help, please, provide simples example to reproduce and understand the issue. Thanks

"$scope.$applyAsync()" correctly worked, Anyway, as usual, I could not find comprehensive documentation about methods, API, etc. It could be very useful

Thank you
