Description Martin Renvoize 2020-11-05 13:43:26 UTC
The sales table in the register summary page contains some JSON formatted data for the DataTable. This content flashes on page load whilst DataTables is still loading and is unsightly.. we should delay the view of the table until DataTables has taken care of make it pretty ;)

Bug 26938: Prevent flash of unstyled sales table

On the registers page the table has come complex data structures
embedded to allow for all the functionality we bring into the datatable.

We should hide the table on page load and only display it at DataTables
init time once the weird content has been beautified by DataTables.

Test plan
1/ Enable 'UseCashRegisters' and 'EnablePointOfSale'
2/ Add a cash register and make some transactions against it.
3/ Navigate to the 'Register details' page
4/ Note that some 'funky' JSON strings appear in the table briefly
before it is restyled when DataTables loads.
5/ Apply the patch
6/ Rebuild the CSS from the SCSS files
7/ Reload the page (hard reload to get the CSS changes)
8/ Note that the table now only appears once the nice formatting that
DataTables adds is applied.

Pushed to master for 20.11, thanks to everybody involved!
Comment 6 Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2020-12-09 20:38:12 UTC
Missing dependencies, not backporting to 20.05.x
Comment 7 Andrew Fuerste-Henry 2020-12-10 21:41:24 UTC
Decided to backport this after all. It's not strictly dependent on 26172, applies fine without it.

Backported to 20.05.x for 20.05.07
Comment 8 Victor Grousset/tuxayo 2020-12-11 16:16:01 UTC
Not backported to oldoldstable (19.11.x). Feel free to ask if it's needed.
