When using the cookie plugin, the first ajax call isn't fired

When using the cookie extension it looks like the overridden _initServer in the extension returns too early and never tries to call the url here https://github.com/wenzhixin/bootstrap-table/blob/develop/src/extensions/cookie/bootstrap-table-cookie.js#L302-L305 I’m not sure what the logic is doing here, hence no patch 😃

Example: https://jsfiddle.net/spfgx18g/1/

When you load this you see the url is never called. If you comment out the cooke and re-run it will call the URL.

This also presents itself with serverside pagination, the first call is not sent but sorting will then send the ajax call.

It seems that it is js’s typecast issue. In Cookie.js we have:

cookiesPresent = function() {
    return bootstrapTable.options.cookie && bootstrapTable.getCookies(bootstrapTable);
};
// ...
if (cookiesPresent() && selectsWithoutDefaults.length === 0) {
    return;
}

If you try in console false && [] you will get expected false, but unfortunately if you try true && [] you’ll got Array instead of Boolean, that;s why return; will be executed even if cookies are not presented.

So solution is pretty simple, we need just to change

return bootstrapTable.options.cookie && bootstrapTable.getCookies(bootstrapTable);

to

return bootstrapTable.options.cookie && bootstrapTable.getCookies(bootstrapTable).length;
