Angular Store Data and Reload Datatable

Question

I'm using datatable: https://l-lin.github.io/angular-datatables and bootstrap: https://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/

this what i try to achive: after add data using modal from bootstrap and save it, the datatable is reload (without reload current route).

Here is my modalCtrl:

  .controller('addModalCtrl', ['$scope', '$modalInstance', '$http', 'AdminMenu', 'ResultService',
    function ($scope, $modalInstance, $http, AdminMenu, ResultService) {

    $scope.cancel = function () {
        $modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
    };

    $scope.menu = {};

    $scope.doSubmit = function () {
        var data = {
            name: $scope.menu.title,
            icon: $scope.menu.icon
        };

        AdminMenu.save(data, function (response) {
            $scope.menu = {};
            ResultService(response);
            $modalInstance.dismiss('cancel');
        }, function (response) {
            ResultService(response.data);
        })
    };
}])

here is my datatable function:

 function AdminMenuTableData($compile, $scope, $modal, DTOptionsBuilder, DTColumnBuilder, SweetAlert, AdminMenu, ResultService, APIROOT) {

$scope.dtOptions = DTOptionsBuilder.fromSource(APIROOT + 'admin-menus')
    .withOption('order', [0, "asc"])
    .withOption('createdRow', function (row, data, dataIndex) {
        // Recompiling so we can bind Angular directive to the DT
        $compile(angular.element(row).contents())($scope);
    });

$scope.dtColumns = [
    DTColumnBuilder.newColumn('id', 'ID').withOption('searchable', false),
    DTColumnBuilder.newColumn('name', 'Name'),
    DTColumnBuilder.newColumn('', 'Actions').renderWith(function (data, type, full, meta) {
        return '<a class="btn btn-default btn-xs" ng-click=edit(' + full.id + ')><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></a> ' +
            '<a class="btn btn-danger btn-xs" ng-click=delete(' + full.id + ')><i class="fa fa-trash"></i></a>';
    }).notSortable()
];

$scope.dtInstance = {};

function reloadData()
{
    $scope.dtInstance.reloadData();
}

}

How can i call reloadData() function so i can refresh the datatable. I've tried to inject AdminenuTableData function but no luck. injector failed.

Any suggestion?

Use rerender() instead. It both destroys the table and reinitialize it, including reloading AJAX sources :

$scope.reloadData = function() {
   $scope.dtInstance.rerender(); 
}
