Fetching and displaying data with Popover in Tabulator about kvision HOT 2 CLOSED

It's a bit difficult to answer your questions without having the running application. But this is what I can say:

• Popover seems to be correctly configured (manual mode) and you should be able to show and hide it with showPopover and hidePopover methods.
• There is no way you can "wait" for the backed call to complete outside of launch. But you can pass some callback function or even the button widget itself to the selectTest method and execute some actions (e.g. show the poprover) at the end of the launch block (after dispatch call).
• To display progress bar you can use kvision-pace module. Or use any other kind of progress indicator started at the beginning of your launch and stopped at the end.

Thank you. I implemented your suggestion to pass the button and enable/show popover after the backend call has completed. This solved my issues 1 & 3. It's working okay when fetching each record everytime (i.e not loading into collection to reuse in next request). Below is the updated selectTest method. For issue 4 I will try the kvision-pace module. For issue 2, I think I will need to split my redux reducers and have the tabulator view subscribe to part of the store state and not the whole state.

    fun selectTest(testId: Int, testCaseId: String, showButton: Button) = launch {
        val state = uatStore.getState()
        var test: Test?
        val list = state.testCollection.toMutableList()
        test = list.firstOrNull { it.id == testId && it.testCaseId == testCaseId }
        if (test == null) {
            test = projectService.getTestById(testId, testCaseId)
//            list.add(test)
//            uatStore.dispatch(UatAction.SetTestCollection(list))
        }
        showButton.enablePopover(
            PopoverOptions(
                title = "${test.title}",
                content = "${test.description}",
                rich = true,
                triggers = listOf(Trigger.MANUAL)
            )
        )
        showButton.showPopover()

    }
