I try to set a filter on a Tabulator table ```fun filterBySt kotlinlang #kvision

fun filterByState(state: EventState) {
    console.log("[ELT.filterByState]")
    console.log(tabulator)
    tabulator.jsTabulator?.setFilter("State", "=", state.name)
}

tabulator looks as expected and it's element jsTabulator seems to be set, but when I try to access or log it, it is null. I'm puzzled (and still at KVision 5.5.1).

I would suppose that you are calling

filterByState

too early, before `jsTabulator`is initialized.

Tried to log

tabulator.jsTabulator

Yes I did and it's null

What can I do to force initialization?

Use a callback?

when you log

tabulator

it will be "live" object - when you look at its properites in devtools you see the current state (not the state from the moment of logging)

makes sense

you should use after insert hook

note, tabulator 5 (kvision 5.6.0+) is asynchronous by design

you will probably have to add second callback 🙂

but I'm not sure - just remember this when you upgrade 🙂

TabulatorOptions

there is

initialFilter: List<Tabulator.Filter>?

How can I create a

List<Tabulator.Filter>

Copy code

initialFilter = listOf(obj<Tabulator.Filter>{
    field = "field1"
    type = "="
    value = "something"
})
