Edit State Management (CTP)
Our DataGrid widget manages its edit state automatically. If your use case requires full control over the editing process, you can use the API members below to manage state manually. In this demo, we manage state with a help of the useReducer React hook.
Widget Options
-
editing.editRowKey
The key for the row being edited. -
editing.editColumnName
The name or data field of the column being edited. -
editing.changes
Pending row changes.
Bind these options to state props and set the props to change edit state at runtime. In this demo, we bind the editRowKey and changes options and use the corresponding on_OptionName_Change event handlers to set the bound props.
Utility Method
- DevExpress.data.applyChanges(data, changes, options)
Applies an array of changes to a source data array.
Event Handlers
-
onSaving / onSaved
Functions that are called before / after pending row changes are saved via the UI or programmatically. -
onEditCanceling / onEditCanceled
Functions that are called before / after editing is canceled and pending row changes are discarded.
Use these functions to perform custom actions. In this demo, the onSaving function sends pending changes to a server. The function's parameter e contains fields for this capability. To implement the same in your application, follow these steps:
-
Disable built-in edit state management
Set thee.cancelfield to true. -
Send a request to the server
Pending changes are stored in thee.changesarray. This array has only a single element in all edit modes, except for batch. Check if this element is not empty and send it to the server (see thesaveChangeaction inactions.js). -
Apply the same changes to the widget's data source and reset edit state
If the server successfully saves changes, call the applyChanges method to save the same changes in the widget's data source. Assign null to the editRowKey and an empty array to the changes option. This resets edit state (see theSAVING_SUCCESShandler inreducer.js).
NOTE
This functionality is available as a community technology preview (CTP). Should you have any questions or suggestions prior to its official release, please email your comments to support@devexpress.com.
Feel free to share demo-related thoughts here.
If you have technical questions, please create a support ticket in the DevExpress Support Center.
