# 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are using axios pending requests will be automatically [canceled](https://github.com/axios/axios#cancellation) when a new request is sent
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://matanya.gitbook.io/vue-tables-2/server-table/draw-counter.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
