# Draw Counter

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is only available on vue-tables-2-premium and v-tables-3
{% endhint %}

Since the table sends asynchronous requests, the received response might not correspond to the latest request. To solve this problem you can employ the \`useDrawCounter\` option like so: 

```javascript
{
    useDrawCounter: true
}
```

   This will add an incrementing `draw` parameter to the each request. On the server-side you should return this parameter with the response, using the same `draw` key. E.g in Laravel:

```javascript
return [
    'data'=>[],
    'count'=>0,
    'draw'=>request('draw')
]
```

 The table will then compare the response `draw` value with its own `draw` counter and only process the response if the two match.

If you are using axios pending requests will be automatically [canceled](https://github.com/axios/axios#cancellation) when a new request is sent
