FitText makes the $digest cycle repeat a lot of times, and transition time becomes really long

[louisdoe]

Hey

thanks for ng-FitText, which is great.

I am using it in an Ionic (1) app, and I am experiencing big performance issue when transitionning to a page that contains a fittext directive. The digest cycle is called again several times, and my users can wait 5 seconds to see the next page.

One of the fittext directive is on the items of a ng-repeat.

<ion-slide ng-repeat="s in sliderPages">
					<ul>
						<!-- <li ng-repeat="item in prodata | matchingProBrand:data.computed.proName:data.computed.proBrand | limitTo:s*sliderItemNumber+sliderItemNumber  | limitTo:-sliderItemNumber"> -->
						<li ng-repeat="item in suggestionList | limitTo:s*sliderItemNumber+sliderItemNumber:s*sliderItemNumber ">
							<a class="suggestPro item-content" ng-click="itemID=item.id;changeisFlash();launchComputeService(item.id);">
								<span><img ng-src={{imagesUrls[item.imageName]}} /></span>
								<p class="flex-caption" ng-class="item.fun == '0' ? 'aNormal' :( item.fun == '1' ? 'aSmallWave' : (item.fun == '2' ? 'aStepUp' : ''))" fittext fittext-min="8" fittext-max="12" ng-bind="item.model + ' - ' + (item.name | split:' ':0)" > {{item.model}} - {{item.name | split:' ':0}}</p> 
							</a>
						</li>
					</ul>
				</ion-slide>

Do you have an idea to help me on this ?

Try setting data-fittext-load-delay to something longer than the expected transition. If that fixes the problem then it'll probably mean adding some checks around whether the parent has a width or something.

If it's possible to whip up a quick demo on JSBin or whatnot showing the bug, that would be mighty helpful.

Hi Patrick thanks a lot for your response. The thing is the transition time strongly depends on the device, so I cannot set a delay for fittext. If too long, the UX will be bad, and if too short, the transition time can get up to 4 or 5 seconds. Setting up a demo would take long, but I can give you access to my code, would like that ?

I only suggest for debugging - if using delay on fittext fixes the issue of transition time, then it's a base from which to patch.

Happy to have code access - I'll get to it as quickly as I can.

Hi Patrick your trick fixed my problem. Plus, I removed some places where I didn't really need fittext. Do you still need code access to see for yourself ? I can give you this. Thanks 2017-06-10 7:41 GMT+02:00 Patrick Marabeas <notifications@github.com>:

In terms of easily testing against the problem, yes that would be helpful.
