Slick Grid/DataView Objects

index

• Grid, DataView objects through vueGridCreated

• Grid, DataView objects & Services via instances bindable

In some cases you might want a feature that is not yet available in slickgrid-vue but exists in the original SlickGrid, what should you do? Fear not, we got you covered. slickgrid-vue exposes the SlickGrid Grid and DataView objects through Event Aggregators, these objects are created when slickgrid-vue initialize the grid (with defineGrid()). So if you subscribe to the Event Aggregator, you will get the SlickGrid and DataView objects and from there you can call any of the SlickGrid features.

The preferred way is now to use the SlickgridVueInstance via the instances bindable as shown here

Grid & DataView objects through vueGridCreated

Since version 2.x, we can now access the Slick Grid & DataView objects directly from the SlickgridVueInstance through the onvueGridCreated Event Dispatch, for example:

Component

<script setup lang="ts">
import { type Column, FieldType, Filters, Formatters, OperatorType, SlickgridVue, SlickgridVueInstance } from 'slickgrid-vue';
import { onBeforeMount, type Ref } from 'vue';

const gridOptions = ref<GridOption>();
const columnDefinitions: Ref<Column[]> = ref([]);
const dataset = ref<any[]>([]);
const isAutoEdit = ref(true);
let vueGrid: SlickgridVueInstance;

onBeforeMount(() => {
  defineGrid();
});

function defineGrid() {}

function vueGridReady(vGrid: SlickgridVueInstance) {
  vueGrid = vGrid;
}

/** Change dynamically `autoEdit` grid options */
function setAutoEdit(autoEdit) {
  isAutoEdit.value = autoEdit;
  vueGrid.grid?.setOptions({ autoEdit }); // change the grid option dynamically
  return true;
}

function collapseAllGroups() {
  vueGrid.dataView?.collapseAllGroups();
}

function expandAllGroups() {
  vueGrid.dataView?.expandAllGroups();
}
</script>

<template>
  <div id="demo-container" class="container-fluid">
    <div class="col-sm-6">
      <label class="me-1">autoEdit setting:</label>
      <span id="radioAutoEdit">
        <label class="radio-inline control-label me-1" htmlFor="radioTrue">
          <input
            type="radio"
            name="inlineRadioOptions"
            id="radioTrue"
            defaultChecked={this.state.isAutoEdit}
            @input="setAutoEdit(true)"
          />
          ON (single-click)
        </label>
        <label class="radio-inline control-label" htmlFor="radioFalse">
          <input
            type="radio"
            name="inlineRadioOptions"
            id="radioFalse"
            @input="setAutoEdit(false)"
          />
          OFF (double-click)
        </label>
      </span>
    </div>

    <div class="col-sm-12">
      <SlickgridVue
        grid-id="grid3"
        v-model:columns="columnDefinitions"
        v-model:options="gridOptions"
        v-model:data="dataset"
        onvueGridCreated="vueGridReady(e.detail)"
        onCellChange="onCellChanged(e.detail.eventData, e.detail.args)"
        onClick="onCellClicked(e.detail.eventData, e.detail.args)"
        onValidationError="onCellValidationError(e.detail.eventData, e.detail.args)"
      />
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

Grid & DataView objects & Services through instances bindable

You could also get all the Service instances via the new instances bindable property

Component

<script setup lang="ts">
import { SlickgridVueInstance, Column, GridOption } from 'slickgrid-vue';

let vueGrid: SlickgridVueInstance;

function vueGridReady(vGrid: SlickgridVueInstance) {
  vueGrid = vGrid;
}

/** Change dynamically `autoEdit` grid options */
function setAutoEdit(isAutoEdit) {
  this.isAutoEdit = isAutoEdit;
  this.vueGrid.slickGrid.setOptions({ autoEdit: isAutoEdit }); // change the grid option dynamically
  return true;
}
</script>

<template>
  <SlickgridVue
    grid-id="grid1"
    v-model:columns="columnDefinitions"
    v-model:options="gridOptions"
    v-model:data="dataset"
    @onVueGridCreated="vueGridReady($event.detail)"
  />
</template>

SlickGrid Events (original SlickGrid)

You have access to all original SlickGrid events which you can subscribe, for more info refer to the Docs - Grid & DataView Events

Usage

There's already all the necessary information on how to use this on the Docs - Grid & DataView Events page, so I suggest you to head over to that Wiki page on how to use the SlickGrid and DataView objects
