Layout in dashboard editor doesn't update after adding a widget about redash HOT 5 CLOSED

This is a tricky one.

The problem is that the $watch here is not fired when widgets are added.
This is easily solved by adding a true flag as the third parameter here. (why?).

However, the tricky part is that gridster does not support dynamic content. Once you run it on a certain element, you cannot run it again (when the data is updated). There is a destroy method, but unfortunately it completely clears the element's content.

Options:

1. hack gridster
2. try out gridster fork with support for leaving the DOM intact when calling destroy
3. migrate to an angular supporting package like angular-gridster

I don't like any of the above. So far I have tried 1 and 3 without any luck :/

Advice is welcome.

#4: Instead of creating a new gridster object (calling $.gridster), let's reuse the existing one. And when changing the elements make sure they're added/removed using the API.

WDYT?

Tried that as well. didn't work.
Maybe I'll try it again...

I think that if you see that it still doesn't work, let's leave it be for now and fry the bigger fish.
