using filters in ajax loaded fields

[e-tip]

Hi, Is there a way to apply filters to ajax loaded table content ? something like 'column-keys': [ 'speed | bytes', ], and the possibility to concatenate two fields of the reply into one columns like {{ loaded_bytes }} of {{ total_bytes }}

Obviously i can modify my backend code to implement this but i think that implement it in mdDataTable would be better Thanks in advance

@e-tip Currently there is no thing like that. And I'm not sure we'd need to add it at the moment. It's very specific and basically you can even do that. Let me show you how.

But I'd suggest to do your data manipulation in your controller's code. You don't have to modify anything in your backend. Let me give you an example. In your paginator function is should be something like this:

    function paginatorCallback(page, pageSize){
            return $http.post('https://api.nutritionix.com/v1_1/search', {
                    'page': page,
                    'pageSize': pageSize
                }).then(function(result){
                    //here using the chainable functionality of the promises you can alter yother response
                    _.each(result.data, function(item, index){
                       result.data[index].speedInBytes = $filter('bytes')(item.speed);

                       //or merge two values into one
                       result.data[index].mergedValue = item.oneValue + '' + item.anotherValue
                   })

                    return {
                        results: result.data,
                        totalResultCount: result.total
                    }
                });

Is that a possible/acceptable solution for you?
