How to call refresh() on a kendo-grid from an Angular controller?

I'm attempting to follow several suggestions on refreshing a kendo-grid such as this.

The essential is that in the html I have:

<div kendo-grid="vm.webapiGrid" options="vm.mainGridOptions">

Then in the controller I have:

vm.webapiGrid.refresh();

Note: I'm using the ControllerAs syntax so I am using "vm" rather than $scope.

My problem is that "vm.webapiGrid" is undefined. This seems so straightforward, but I'm not sure why it is undefined.

it's because you are using the options object to trigger the read, you should use the grid reference instead:

<div kendo-grid="vm.webapiGrid" options="vm.mainGridOptions">

as in:

$scope.vm.webapiGrid.dataSource.transport.read();

hope that helps.

Found the answer. One other method of refreshing the datasource I read about was to do something like:

vm.mainGridOptions.datasource.transport.read();

This wasn't working for me as "read" was undefined. Looking at my datasource definition, I saw the reason, read needs a parameter (in this case "e"):

    vm.mainGridOptions = {
        dataSource: {
            transport: {
                read: function (e) {
                    task.getAllTasks(vm.appContext.current.contextSetting).
                        then(function (data) {
                            e.success(data);
                        });
                },
            }
        },

To solve, I saved "e" in my scope and then reused it when I wanted to refresh:

    vm.mainGridOptions = {
        dataSource: {
            transport: {
                read: function (e) {
                    task.getAllTasks(vm.appContext.current.contextSetting).
                        then(function (data) {
                            e.success(data);
                            vm.optionCallback = e;
                        });
                },
            }
        },

and then:

if (vm.optionCallback !== undefined) {
   vm.mainGridOptions.dataSource.transport.read(vm.optionCallback);
}

Problem solved (I hope).

Add id to the grid and trying refreshing using it.

<div kendo-grid="vm.webapiGrid" options="vm.mainGridOptions" id="grid1">

In controller use this:

$("#grid1").data('kendoGrid').refresh();
