Adding items to menu

I am building a backbone client app that adds one or more

items after fetching data from an API asynchronously. It does not seem to be possible to make metis menu work for

items that are added at a later stage. I can call $('#side-menu').metisMenu() a second time but it won’t pick up the new items.

For angularJs I had to add a timeout to wait for the dom change before running metisMenu again

            // After changes to dom
            $timeout(function() {
                var sideMenu = angular.element('[side-navigation]');
                sideMenu.removeData("mm");
                sideMenu.metisMenu();
            });

I got it I had to change the code to:

var sideMenu = $(this.sideMenuContainer);
sideMenu.removeData("mm");
sideMenu.metisMenu();
