What the hell is going on with the paging "totalServerOptions"?!

[Siyfion]

I think there's a lot of confusion about what people are meant to be using regarding the totalServerOptions variable when using server-side paging.

I now no-longer know whether I should be setting:

$scope.gridOptions.totalServerItems = data.count
or
$scope.gridOptions.pagingOptions.totalServerItems = data.count

If it's the latter, then a load of functions need to be modified in /src/classes/footer.js as they all refer to $scope.totalServerItems. If it's the first option, then it doesn't currently work (getting "null" constantly).

Pull request #505 fixes this, if the documentation is the correct way to do things.

You should be using the $scope.gridOptions.totalServerItems = data.count

Just made a plunker for it: http://plnkr.co/edit/50vJrs?p=preview

I will update the documentation when I get back. Sorry about that.

In which case, can we have the "null items" bug fixed please?

[jonricaurte]

Yes, I am going to update it in the 2.0.7 pull request when I get back. The null was only happening if you weren't using a string for the totalServerItems and did not explicitly set gridOptions.totalServerItems. The maxRows function in footer returns the math.max, but if totalServerItems was undefined, the number returned would be a NaN

Will leave open until it is updated.

Hmm.. I am explicitly setting totalServerItems (not on startup however), but I'm still seeing null values after its been set!

That ,and being able to go to page 2 when there's less than 1 page worth to begin with.

[jonricaurte]

Can you show it in a plunker?

Now I know why they were split. "we switched out the place where totalServerItems is set because people
wanted to update it manually while watching the pagingOptions configuration
variable for changes (so they know when to retrieve more data from the
server)." from #332. You need to use totalServerItems: 'totalServerItems' in grid config so it is watched. You can only set totalServerItems if you use a string reference. I am going to update the documentation. Try the latest version of 2.0.7.
