revealItem not working on newly added element

[rtheuwen]

In my view I have a table displaying users from a users array, which is binded to data.bind: users; display-data.bind: $displayData; like this. It all works fine. On this page, I also have a modal to add a new user. The new user gets added to the users array and to a local json server (for now). If I then try to do revealItem on this added user, the functions returns false. What do I need to do for the plugin to see this change in data?

I believe I know what is going on. If you add the element and immediately ask to reveal it, the reveal method will not find the element in the list, it is a timing issue.
I have started some work to internally use promises to avoid this kind of issues, but it is not ready yet.

On the meantime, you can wait a little bit after adding the new item to call the function to reveal the item. I know it is not pretty, but it should get the job done.

Putting it in a timeout did the trick indeed, it works now. Looking forward to the promises for a cleaner solution. Thanks for the quick reply! Good job on the plugin.
