Loading JSON via AJAX with NgTable parameters

you problem is that you use the local variable data inside your ngTableParams and in the same time you are outside the scope of the success function.

Change your code on something like this:

var app = angular.module('app', ['ngTable']);app.controller('myController', function($scope, $http, $filter, ngTableParams) { $http.get('http://jsondata.com/myjson.json')  .success(function(data, status) {    $scope.data = data;    $scope.tableParams = new ngTableParams({        page: 1,            // show first page        count: 10,          // count per page        sorting: {            foo: 'asc'     // initial sorting        }    }, {        total: $scope.data.length, // length of data        getData: function($defer, params) {            // use build-in angular filter            var orderedData = params.sorting() ?                                $filter('orderBy')($scope.data, params.orderBy()) :                                $scope.data;            $defer.resolve(orderedData.slice((params.page() - 1) * params.count(), params.page() * params.count()));        }      });  });});

See the change from data to $scope.data inside ngTableParams.

Hint: If you just place your ngTableParams inside your success function, is going to work too, without changing data to $scope.data. But, changing the variables will give you a better flexibility if you want to reload() your table.

$defer need to be resolved within the getData, after the ajax call is completed. As in the example You provided, the ajax call is inside the getData:

var app = angular.module('app', ['ngTable']);app.controller('myController', function($scope, $http, $filter, ngTableParams) {$scope.tableParams = new ngTableParams({    page: 1,            // show first page    count: 10,          // count per page    sorting: {        foo: 'asc'     // initial sorting    }}, {    total: data.length, // length of data    getData: function($defer, params) {        $http.get('http://jsondata.com/myjson.json')           .success(function(data, status) {               // use build-in angular filter               var orderedData = params.sorting() ?                   $filter('orderBy')(data, params.orderBy()) :                   data;               $defer.resolve(orderedData.slice((params.page() - 1) * params.count(),  params.page() * params.count()));            });        }    });});

First step is to put quotes around your sortable attribute:

  <td data-title="foo" sortable="'foo'">{{user.foo}}</td>

ngTable expects an expression there.

Second step is to check which version of ngTable you're using, and if it's 0.3.2 check out this ngTable issue: https://github.com/esvit/ng-table/issues/204

Good luck)
