<b-table> doesn't call items provider function

I’v tried this feature on both versions (0.20.2 and 1.0.0-beta.3).

SomeComponent.vue

<template>
  <b-table :items="itemsProvider" ...>
    ... omitted ...
  </b-table>
</template>

<script>
 export default {
    data () {
      return {
        fields: {
          ...
        }
      }
    },
    methods: {
      itemsProvider (context) {
        console.log(context)
      }
    }
  }
</script>

When I open a page there is nothing appears in the console.

That is true. busy should only be set once your provider starts running, and cleared when your provider finishes and returns (either a promise, callback or provides the items table).

b-table looks at busy and prevents certain things from happening (like calling provider update a second time while one is currently running, preventing click events from propagating, etc.)

True, we will have the documentation updated.

The examples show it after the provider has started running.

We are working on a PR that will auto set/clear busy when a provider function is provided. (and busy will be a .syncable prop
