Reloading the table manually

If updates have been made to your dataset and you need to reload the table, you can attach a ref to the table. Once the Vue.JS reference is attached, you are able to access the underlining methods of the component including the getData method.

Alternatively, if you have custom filters applied and you would prefered they are retained, any adjustment to the url the table uses as a prop will reload the table.
