What does your current setup look like? The solution given should replace the columns.
I setup a sample based on the script you posted but used the incident table.
HTML:
<div class="panel panel-primary">
<div class="panel-heading">
<h3 class="panel-heading-text">
${Community Example}
</h3>
<h5 class="text-uppercase">Regular Button Trigger</h5>
</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<div>
<div class="form-group">
<button ng-click="sendColumns();" class="btn btn-primary">Change Columns</button>
</div>
<sp-widget widget="data.dataTableWidget"></sp-widget>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Server Script:
(function() {
data.widgetParams = {
p : 1,
table: 'incident',
filter: 'active=true',
o: 'sys_created_on',
fields:'caller_id,short_description,sys_created_on,contact_type',
d: 50,
view: 'ess',
window_size: 5,
show_breadcrumbs: true,
show_keywords: false,
show_new: false
};
data.dataTableWidget = $sp.getWidget('widget-data-table', data.widgetParams);
})();
Client Controller:
function($scope,spUtil) {
var c = this;
$scope.sendColumns = function(){
var params = $scope.data.widgetParams;
params.fields = 'number,priority,short_description,description';
params.show_breadcrumbs = 'true';
params.filter = 'active=true^priority=1';
params.show_new = true;
params.window_size = 5;
spUtil.get('widget-data-table', params).then(function(response){
$scope.data.dataTableWidget = response;
})
}
}
The setup above seems to replace the columns executing the sendColumns function. I have created a screencast to show this. The only difference in the screencast is that I set the function to randomly pass a set of fields with each click of the button.
