Goal:
I want to automatically refresh a table on my webpage whenever an API updates the underlying Retool database table. Additionally, I'd like to display a "loading" element while the table is refreshing.
Steps:
- I have a button that triggers an API query.
- The API successfully updates a table stored in my Retool database.
- I'm not sure how to make the table on the webpage refresh automatically to reflect the new data.
- I'd also like to add a visual cue (like a loading spinner) while the refresh is happening to improve the user experience.
Details:
- I'm using a Retool table component to display the data.
- The API query is working correctly and updates the database.
- I'm unsure about the specific Retool features or JavaScript code needed to achieve the auto-refresh and loading element behavior.
I'd appreciate any guidance on the best way to implement this functionality.
Additional Notes:
- If you're using a custom component or integration, please provide details about it.
- If you're on a self-hosted Retool instance, please share the version you're using.
Let me know if you have any further questions or need more clarification!
