Question

JavaScript

There is this conclusion:

<tr ng-repeat="item in items">
{{item.date | fromNow}} 
</tr>

fromNow - a filter that converts the date in to "3 minutes ago", etc.
How to force Angular to update the time in the table as intelligently as possible.
$apply() and $digest() didn't help

Answer 1

I had similar problems with the authorization status when it was necessary to display the logout button using ng-if and for some reason this happened only after the page was refreshed.
but when i wrapped the controller method into a function

o.status = function () {
    auth.status;
   }

and used like this

<div ng-controller="userController as uc">
    <div ng-if="uc.status"> 
   </div>
</div>

everything began to work asynchronously, as it should, immediately after the authorization event in the factory.
maybe it will help you)

$apply() and $digest() didn't help

they just need to be run once in a while.
