Pagination based data table does not update when pagination links clicked #101

Closed ThorntonStuart closed 7 years ago

ThorntonStuart commented 7 years ago

I am building an app based on the express-react-views dynamic example to use React as my Express templating engine. Currently I am using reactable to create data tables, however the pagination feature built in to this plugin and several others (react-paginate, react-data-components) that I have tried with this app do not update/re-render the table component with the requested data when pagination links are clicked.

In the case of Reactable, the package sets the href of the pagination links to a hash, however while the link successfully renders new data in the table in standard React apps, the express-react-views app merely changes the URL and fails to update the table.

enter image description here

I have tried these packages with standard React apps which do not make use of express-react-views and had no problems.

I'm not sure if the hash gets sent to the server but you would need to handle it if so. If that's your problem here.

If you're talking about the client-side handling updates, then you're unfortunately on your own. The dynamic example is meant to be a starting point of a pattern that we don't actually support support (this project focuses on the server-side)
