How to know when the summary section has finished rendering?

Hi to all,

I am struggling to find a way to determine when a view’s summary section has completed its calculations and finished its rendering.

I wish so badly that there was a built-in event like this one in Knack:

$(document).on('knack-summary-render.view_1', function (event, view, data) {
    console.log('Summary has completed rendering in view_1');
})

A summary rendered event would be so useful !

Currently, I use a mutation observer as taught by David R. (HMND). A big thank you again David! This works ok, but I get 8 notifications for the 4 rows. Probably due to the 8 values.

See this screen grab:

This is the code:

var observer = null;
if (!observer) {
    observer = new MutationObserver((mutations) => {
        mutations.forEach(mutRec => {
            const knView = mutRec.target.closest('.kn-view');
            var viewId = (knView && knView.id);
            if (viewId) {
                var view = Knack.views[viewId];
                if (view && typeof view.model === 'object') {
                    if (viewId && mutRec.target.localName === 'tbody') {

                        if (mutRec.addedNodes.length && mutRec.addedNodes[0].classList && mutRec.addedNodes[0].classList.contains('kn-table-totals')) {
                            console.log('Rendering .kn-table-totals');
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        });
    })

    observer.observe(document.querySelector('.kn-content'), {
        childList: true,
        subtree: true,
    });
}

Is there an internal Knack function that does what I want, or do I have to manually trim this to work as intended?

All I want is to take action after the 4 rows are done rendering.

Currently, I can achieve my goal, but I get some annoying flickering due to the multiple renderings.

I can’t rely on hard coded timing, since the summary takes a long and non-deterministic time to render, depending on the complexity and quantity or records to be processed.

Thanks,
Normand

Never mind, I found a solution. Not perfect, but works well.

I will post it here later.
