I want to bind a KendoGrid to an object array so that it reflects what ever the user enters. The object will have two fields ExceptionName and ExceptionType. ExceptionType needs to be a dropdown of 5 items (this is working). The ExceptionName will be free text.
If I double click on the kendo grid, I can edit, but it does not reflects in the object. Same thing for Delete & new row. (So I think I am doing something wrong in the binding or in the declaration of the object)
Below, find a snippet of my code:
Object array:
var authorizationInformation = [{
id:1,
exemptionName: "",
exemptionType: "Unknown"
}];
KendoGrid:
$("#AuthorizationGrid").kendoGrid({
columns: [{
field: "exemptionName", title: "Exemption Name"
},
{
field: "exemptionType",
title: "Exemption Type",
template: function (value) {
for (var i = 0; i < exemptionTypeList.length; i++) {
if (exemptionTypeList[i].exemptionType == value.exemptionType) {
return exemptionTypeList[i].description;
}
}
},
editor: function (container) {
var input = $('<input id="exemptionType" name="exemptionType">');
input.appendTo(container);
// initialize a dropdownlist
input.kendoDropDownList({
dataTextField: "description",
dataValueField: "exemptionType",
dataSource: exemptionTypeList
}).appendTo(container);
}
},
{
command: "destroy"
}],
dataSource: authorizationInformation,
editable: true,
scrollable: false,
});
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks, M

Having a JQuery Datatable (it's more complex I simplified it) as below:
I need to display a bootstrap modal form with a text input field on, whenever I click the "Assign Card" button.
The modal should should be populated with the data coming from the row in which the button was clicked.
Upon clicking the modal "Assign" button, normally I should post the inputed value and the "VisitorID" which like "John Doe" should come from the specific row.
On Assign I should post the "input value" and "VisitorID".
What I have so far:
var table = $('#visitorsTable').DataTable({
"ajax": {
...
},
"columns": [
{ "data": "VisitorID" },
{ "data": "FirstName" },
{ "data": "LastName" },
{
"data": "CheckedIn",
"render": function(d) {
return moment(d).format('DD-MM-YYYY HH:mm');
}
},
{"data": "CardNumber"},
],
columnDefs: [
{
targets: [0], // Visitor ID
visible: false
},
{
targets: [-1],
render: function(cardNUmber, b, data, d) {
return '<button class="btnAssignCard data-toggle="modal" data-target="#assignCardModal" float-right">Assign Card</button>';
}
}
]
});
$('#visitorsTable').on('click',
'.btnAssignCard',
event => {
// THIS IS HOW I GET ACCESS TO THE SPECIFIC ROW
let rowData = table.row($(event.target).parents('tr')).data();
var visitorID = rowData.VisitorID;
var visitorFirstName = rowData.FirstName;
var visitorLastName = rowData.LastName;
});
});
Remove the data-toggle and data-target from the button.
Then call the below function after
// THIS IS HOW I GET ACCESS TO THE SPECIFIC ROW
let rowData = table.row($(event.target).parents('tr')).data();
var visitorID = rowData.VisitorID;
var visitorFirstName = rowData.FirstName;
var visitorLastName = rowData.LastName;
showMyModalSetInput(visitorFirstName + visitorLastName,visitorID );
The function will open the modal and pass the required values before opening. Also, for visitor id, you can add an extra hidden input.
function showMyModalSetInput(inputText, visitorID) {
$('#inputId').val(inputText);
$('#hiddenInputforVisitorID').val(visitorID);
$('#assignCardModal').modal('show');
}
I attempt bind data to Kendo UI grid for AngularJS.
Folowing is asp.net mvc controller method:
public string GetCdcReport()
{
return
"[{\"ProductID\":1,\"ProductName\":\"Chai\",\"UnitPrice\":18,\"UnitsInStock\":39,\"Discontinued\":false}," +
"{\"ProductID\":2,\"ProductName\":\"Chang\",\"UnitPrice\":19,\"UnitsInStock\":17,\"Discontinued\":false}]";
}
AngularJs service method:
function getImportResultReport() {
return httpPost('getCdcReport');
}
Data-binding in angularjs controller:
vm.mainGridOptions = {
columns: [
{ field: "ProductID", title: "ID" },
{ field: "ProductName", title: "Product Name" },
{ command: [{ template: "<button class='k-button' ng-click='showDetails(dataItem)'>Show details</button>" }] },
],
pageable: true,
dataSource: {
pageSize: 5,
transport: {
read: function (e) {
dataservice.getImportResultReport().
then(function (data) {
e.success(data);
});
}
}
}
};
This code don't return error. Grid rendering 37 pages of 5 rows, but they is empty.
I think that grid must know what type of data set for binding. In my case it is jSon. How set json type for grid datasource? Or what is wrong if don't need to do this?
I have webapplication with knockoutjs
i have to implement Autocomplete textbox in a webform,
I got following tutorial
https://www.npmjs.com/package/knockout.autocomplete
i have added following code:
var viewModel = {
keywords: ko.observableArray([
'abstract', 'add', 'alias', 'as', 'ascending',
'async', 'await', 'base', 'bool', 'break'
])
};
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
<input data-bind="autocomplete: { data: keywords, maxItems: 6 }" value=""/>
it works fine, but it binds text only, and i want to bind Text and Value Pair.
how can i achieve in above code?
Thanks
I haven't tested this, but it looks like it allows you to pass a formatter, so you can set up how it will be displayed to the user.
var viewModel = {
keywords: ko.observableArray([
{ name: 'Abstract', value: 'abstract' },
{ name: 'Break', value: 'break' }
]),
format: function (value) {
// This is what is shown in the list, only pass what you want
return value.name;
},
selected: ko.observable(),
onSelect: function (value) {
// value should be your name/value object
viewModel.selected(value);
}
};
<input data-bind="autocomplete: {
data: keywords,
maxItems: 6,
format: format,
onSelect: onSelect
}" value=""/>
We are using a server based simple grid. The grid reads and updates data for a remote data source. It has two columns that are using drop down editors. Everything seems to work fine except that after saving, when editor closes, the changed values are not displayed in the edited row. It still shows the old value. When we try to refresh the grid using the sync event, it changes the order of the rows however, it does update the values on refresh.
It seems like the template function is not executed after the update is completed. How to edit the grid / code to ensure that the changed value is reflected in the grid?
Grid Definition code:
$("#servicetype-grid").kendoGrid({
pageable: true,
toolbar: [{name: "create", text: ""}, { template: kendo.template($("#servicetype-search-template").html())}],
columns: [
{
field: "serviceName", title: "Service Name"
},
{
field: "billCalculationTypeId",
editor: calculationTypeDropDownEditor,
template: function(dataItem) {
return kendo.htmlEncode(dataItem.billCalculationTypeName);
},
title: "Bill Calculation Type"
},
{
field: "payCalculationTypeId",
editor: calculationTypeDropDownEditor,
template: function(dataItem) {
return kendo.htmlEncode(dataItem.payCalculationTypeName);
},
title: "Pay Calculation Type"
},
{
command: [
{ name: "edit", text: { edit: "", cancel: "", update: "" }},
{ name: "destroy", text:""}
],
title: "Actions"
}
],
dataSource: dataSource,
sortable: {
mode: "single",
allowUnsort: false
},
dataBound: function(e) {
setToolTip();
},
edit: function(e) {
$('.k-grid-update').kendoTooltip({content: "Update"});
$('.k-grid-cancel').kendoTooltip({content: "Cancel"});
},
cancel: function(e) {
setToolTip();
},
editable: {
mode: "inline",
confirmation: "Are you sure that you want to delete this record?"
}
});
Drop down function is defined as:
function calculationTypeDropDownEditor(container, options) {
$('<input required data-text-field="name" data-value-field="id" data-bind="value:' + options.field + '"/>')
.appendTo(container)
.kendoDropDownList({
autoBind: false,
dataSource: {
transport: {
read: {
dataType: "jsonp",
url: baseURL + "rips/services/calculationType/lookupList"
}
}
}
});
}
After doing some search on Google and browsing through different examples on Kendo site, I finally was able to resolve this issue. Following is my understanding of the problem and solution:
When we are using drop down box or combo box as a custom editor, generally we have a different datasource that contains a list options with an id and a value to show. I defined the template as "#=field.property#" of the field that I was looking up. In my case it was calculation type. Following is my model:
model: {
id: "serviceId",
fields: {
serviceName: { field:"serviceName", type: "string", validation: { required: { message: "Service Name is required"}} },
billCalculationType: { field: "billCalculationType", validation: { required: true}},
payCalculationType: { field: "payCalculationType", validation: { required: true} }
}
In above, billCalculationType and payCalculationType are supposed to be drop down list values displaying the calculation type name but storing the id of the corresponding calculation type. So, in my grid definition, I added following:
{ field: "billCalculationType",
editor: calculationTypeDropDownEditor,
template:"#=billCalculationType.name#",
title: "Bill Calculation Type" },
Where calculation dropdown editor is a function that builds a drop down from external data source. So, it works fine. However, for the template definition to work in (field.property) format, the server must return the value as a class for this field and not a simple text. So, in my server service, I returned in following format:
{"billCalculationType":{"id":"4028828542b66b3a0142b66b3b780001","name":"Hourly","requiredDetails":false},"payCalculationType":{"id":"4028828542b66b3a0142b66b3b960002","name":"Kilometers","requiredDetails":false},"serviceId":"4028828542b66b3a0142b66b3c16000a","serviceName":"XYZ"}
Notice that the billCalculationType and payCalculationType are returned as objects with name and id as properties. This allows the template to work properly.
Hope this helps.
I am missing something very basic, my comboxbox never appears, can somebody please look at the following code and tell me what I am missing, I have tried both .Select and ComboBox as type and I ma using dojo-1.5
var layout4 =
[
{ field: "abbr", name: "Abbreviation", width: 10 },
{ field: "name", name: "Name", width: 10 },
{ field: "capital", name: "Capital", width: '10'},
{ field: "combo", name: "combo", width: 10,
type: dojox.grid.cells.Select,
options: [ "new", "read", "replied" ],
editable:true
}
];
var store4 = { identifier: 'abbr',
label: 'name',
items: [
{ abbr:'ec', name:'Ecuador', capital:'Quito', combo:'' },
{ abbr:'eg', name:'Egypt', capital:'Cairo', combo:''},
{ abbr:'sv', name:'El Salvador', capital:'San Salvador', combo:''},
{ abbr:'gq', name:'Equatorial Guinea', capital:'Malabo', combo:''},
{ abbr:'er', name:'Eritrea', capital:'Asmara', combo:'' },
{ abbr:'ee', name:'Estonia', capital:'Tallinn', combo:''},
{ abbr:'et', name:'Ethiopia', capital:'Addis Ababa', combo:'' }
]};
storeData = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore(
{ data:store4}
);
// create a new grid:
var grid4 = new dojox.grid.DataGrid({
query: { abbr: '*' },
store: storeData,
clientSort: true,
rowSelector: '20px',
structure: layout4
}, document.createElement('div'));
// append the new grid to the div "gridContainer4":
dojo.byId("gridContainer4").appendChild(grid4.domNode);
// Call startup, in order to render the grid:
grid4.startup();
Try replacing the long line that you have using appendChild() with this one:
grid4.placeAt("gridContainer4");
Your code is rather scrambled and without seeing the whole thing it's a little hard to debug. Do you get any errors on the console? Can you post a complete example on JSFiddle?
The reason was that I was using ItemFileReadStore, and it was not allowed to edit an item in store and so combobox was not appearing. Using WriteStore solves this problem here. Ofcourse it was dumb to use readsotre.
Now I have a different problem where I want combobox to appear in grid where canEdit is implemented, but that is a different question.
