Filter a table dynamically with buttons

[stautonico]

I have a table that is generated with dataviewjs. I am also using the buttons plugin to dynamically create buttons that can call functions. However, dataviewjs doesn't seem to work like react/angular where changing the input data changes the table. Is there any way to trigger the table to re-render using new data triggered by a function call?

(Simplified example code)

const {createButton} = app.plugins.plugins["buttons"]

function filter_semester(semester) {
	displayed_data = [];
	for (let d of data) {
		if (d[4] === semester) displayed_data.push(d);
	}
	console.log(displayed_data);
        // I want to trigger a re-render HERE
}

function make_semester_selector_button(semester, parent) {
  // Create a button that calls the filter_semester function
  createButton({
    app,
    el: parent.container,
    args: {name: semester},
    clickOverride: {click: filter_semester, params: [semester]}
  })
}

const TABLE_HEADERS = ["Class Number", "Class Name", "Professor", "Email", "Semester"];
let data = [];
let displayed_data = [];

for (let file of dv.pages("#class-listing")) {{
  if (file.file.name !== "Class Listing Template") {
    // The semester name is the name of the "grandparent" directory
    const folder = file.file.path.split("/");
    const semester = folder[folder.length - 2];
    dv.span(make_semester_selector_button(semester, this));
    // Populate our table
    data.push([
      file.class_number,
      file.class_name,
      file.professor,
      file.email,
      semester
    ]);
  }
}}

// At the beginning, just display all data
displayed_data = [...data];

// Render the table
dv.table(TABLE_HEADERS, displayed_data);

I noticed that someone talked about a similar issue in another discussion (#1175 (comment)). Using react as the renderer seems overkill, is there really no other way to dynamically refresh when the data changes, or even trigger a manual re-render?

Maybe you can change a note which is shown by the query. To force to update the table automatically
