DataTables inside bootstrap accordion in angularjs

Question

I am working on a module where I have to redesign some products. Following is the screenshot of how the products used to get displayed previously.

Now the products will be displayed inside accordion of their specific name. I am bound to use ui.bootstrap Version: 0.11.0 - 2014-05-01. Following is a sketch of how the products will be displayed now. In each accordion there will be a datatable of that particular product in which the columns will dynamically generate and we would be able to check the particular products we want.

Following is my html code:

                <accordion>
                    <accordion-group ng-repeat="AllProduct in AllProducts">
                        <accordion-heading>
                            {{AllProduct.TypeName}}
                           </accordion-heading>

                    </accordion-group>
                    <table id="dtVoice" class="table manage-user-table offer-mgt-table" dt-options="dtOptions" dt-columns="dtColumns"></table>
                </accordion>

The way i have dynamically created datatables are as follows:

 dtColumns.push(DTColumnBuilder.newColumn(null).withTitle('').notSortable()
          .renderWith(function(data, type, full, meta) {
              return '<input type="checkbox" ng-model="showCase.selected[' + data.id + ']"/>';
          }));

        for (var key in $scope.VoiceProducts[0]) {
            if (key == "ProductName" || key == "LongDistanceMinutes" || key == "IsCallWaiting") {
                dtColumns.push(
                  DTColumnBuilder.newColumn(key).withTitle(key)

                )
            }

            $scope.dtColumns = dtColumns;
            $scope.dtOptions = DTOptionsBuilder.newOptions()
              .withOption('data', $scope.VoiceProducts)
              .withOption('dataSrc', '')


            angular.element('#dtVoice').attr('datatable', '')
        }
       $compile(angular.element('#dtVoice'))($scope);

Following is my json

 [
  {
    "ProductList": [
      {
        "ProductName": "Voice",
        "IsActive": false,
        "IsDeleted": false,
        "LongDistanceMinutes": "",
        "IsCallWaiting": "",
        "CallWaitingId": "",
        "IsThreeWayCalling": "",
        "IsCallerId": "",
        "IsCallForwarding": "",
        "IsCallRejection": "",
        "ID": 552,
        "OfferId": 0
      }
    ],
    "ID": 2,
    "IsActive": false,
    "IsDeleted": false,
    "TypeName": "Voice"
  }
]

How to put this datatable inside accordion? Because by doing whatever I'm, i'm unable to achieve it.

Answer 1

UPDATED: As per new information (using angular-datatable)

The solution now boils down to computing the columns and options per accordion-group.

Working Plunker with 2 accordion groups

As you can see in the HTML below the options and columns are computed per accordion.

<table datatable class="table manage-user-table offer-mgt-table"  dt-options="getDtOptions(AllProduct)" dt-columns="getDtColumns(AllProduct)"></table>

Angular code showing getDtColumns and getDtOptions. I have kept the data very simple for demonstration purposes and copied the current dtColumns code however you can customize it so that you can even have more than 1 type of table :

var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ui.bootstrap', 'datatables']);
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope, DTColumnBuilder, DTOptionsBuilder, DTColumnDefBuilder, $timeout, AllProducts) {
  $scope.AllProducts = AllProducts


  $scope.getDtColumns = function(allProduct) {
    var items = allProduct.ProductList;
    if (allProduct.dtColumns) allProduct.dtColumns.length = 0;
    allProduct.dtColumns =  allProduct.dtColumns || [];
    var dtColumns = allProduct.dtColumns;
    dtColumns.push(DTColumnBuilder.newColumn('').withTitle('').notSortable()
      .renderWith(function(data, type, full, meta) {
        return '<input type="checkbox" ng-model="showCase.selected[' + full.id + ']"/>';
      }));


    for (var key in items[0]) {
      if (key == "ProductName" || key == "LongDistanceMinutes" || key == "IsCallWaiting") {
        dtColumns.push(
          DTColumnBuilder.newColumn(key).withTitle(key).notSortable()
        )
      }
    }

    return dtColumns;
  };

  $scope.getDtOptions = function(allProduct) {
    if (allProduct.options) return allProduct.options;
    var items = allProduct.ProductList;
    allProduct.options = allProduct.options || DTOptionsBuilder.newOptions().withOption('aaData', items);
    return allProduct.options;     
  };


});

OLDER ANSWER without angular-datatable

First of all I do not recommend jQuery DataTable or any other jQuery component in AngularJS applications. I personally try not to bundle jQuery or perform DOM manipulation using jQuery.

However to get you going with what you have I suggest the following:-

Remove these two lines because simply adding those attributes datatable dynamically is not going to trigger the DataTable binding:-

angular.element('#dtVoice').attr('datatable', '')
        }
       $compile(angular.element('#dtVoice'))($scope);

and try using something like this:-

$('#dtVoice').DataTable( {columnDefs: $scope.dtColumns });

Further more just to clean up a bit I create a new directive (just typing out loud):

app.directive('myDatatable`, function(){
return {
   restrict: 'A',
   scope: {
       'dtColumns': '='
   }
   link: function($scope, elem, attr) {
        $('#dtVoice').DataTable( {columnDefs: $scope.dtColumns});    
   } 
};
});

and your table something like below:

<table id="dtVoice" 
    class="table manage-user-table offer-mgt-table" 
      dt-options="dtOptions" 
      dt-columns="dtColumns" my-datatable></table>
