jQuery DataGrid Methods

This section describes the methods that can be used to manipulate the DataGrid UI component.

See Also

addColumn(columnOptions)

Adds a new column.

Parameters:
columnOptions:

Object

|

String

The column's configuration or the data field for which the column should be created.

This method is intended to add columns at runtime. To add columns at design-time, use the columns array.

If stateStoring is enabled, the added column is saved in the UI component's state after the creation.

NOTE
Do not use this method to control a column's visibility; use the column's visible property instead.
See Also

addRow()

Adds an empty data row and switches it to the editing state.

Return Value:

Promise<void> (jQuery or native)

A Promise that is resolved after a new empty row is added.

View Demo

Use this method if you want to add an empty row. If you need to add a row with data, do the following:

  • For a remote data source, insert a new row with data into it and reload the data source:

    jQuery
    JavaScript
    $(function(){
        var dataGrid = $("#gridContainer").dxDataGrid({
            // ...
        }).dxDataGrid("instance");
        var dataSource = dataGrid.getDataSource();
        dataSource.store().insert(data).then(function() {
            dataSource.reload();
        })
    });

beginCustomLoading(messageText)

Shows the load panel.

Parameters:
messageText:

String

The text for the load panel to display.

Normally, the load panel is invoked automatically while the UI component is busy rendering or loading data. Additionally, you can invoke it by calling this method. If you call it without the argument, the load panel displays text specified by the loadPanel.text property. To specify the appearance of the load panel, use the loadPanel object. Once invoked from code, the load panel will not hide until you call the endCustomLoading() method.

NOTE
The load panel invoked from code does not replace the automatically invoked load panel. This circumstance might lead to a situation where the load panel invoked from code suddenly changes its text because it was overridden by the automatically invoked load panel. Therefore, be mindful when invoking the load panel with different text.
See Also

beginUpdate()

Postpones rendering that can negatively affect performance until the endUpdate() method is called.

The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods reduce the number of renders in cases where extra rendering can negatively affect performance.

See Also

byKey(key)

Gets a data object with a specific key.

Parameters:
key:

The following code shows how to get a data object whose key is 15.

jQuery
index.js
widgetInstance.byKey(15).done(function(dataObject) {
        // process "dataObject"
    }).fail(function(error) {
        // handle error
    });

defaultOptions is a static method that the UI component class supports. The following code demonstrates how to specify default properties for all instances of the DataGrid UI component in an application executed on the desktop.

jQuery
JavaScript
DevExpress.ui.dxDataGrid.defaultOptions({ 
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the DataGrid properties
    }
});
Angular
TypeScript
import DataGrid, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/data_grid";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        DataGrid.defaultOptions<Properties>({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the DataGrid properties
            }
        });
    }
}
Vue
<template>
    <div>
        <DxDataGrid id="dataGrid1" />
        <DxDataGrid id="dataGrid2" />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxDataGrid from "devextreme-vue/data-grid";
import DataGrid from "devextreme/ui/data_grid";

DataGrid.defaultOptions({
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the DataGrid properties
    }
});

export default {
    components: {
        DxDataGrid
    }
}
</script>
React
import dxDataGrid from "devextreme/ui/data_grid";
import DataGrid from "devextreme-react/data-grid";

dxDataGrid.defaultOptions({
    device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
    options: {
        // Here go the DataGrid properties
    }
});

export default function App() {
    return (
        <div>
            <DataGrid id="dataGrid1" />
            <DataGrid id="dataGrid2" />
        </div>
    )
}

You can also set rules for multiple device types:

jQuery
JavaScript
const devicesConfig = [
    { deviceType: 'desktop' },
    { deviceType: 'tablet' },
    { deviceType: 'phone' },
];

devicesConfig.forEach(deviceConfig => {
    DevExpress.ui.dxDataGrid.defaultOptions({ 
        device: deviceConfig,
        options: {
            // Here go the DataGrid properties
        }
    });
});
Angular
TypeScript
import DataGrid, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/data_grid";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        const devicesConfig = [
            { deviceType: 'desktop' },
            { deviceType: 'tablet' },
            { deviceType: 'phone' },
        ];

        devicesConfig.forEach(deviceConfig => {
            DataGrid.defaultOptions<Properties>({
                device: deviceConfig,
                options: {
                    // Here go the DataGrid properties
                }
            });
        });
    }
}
Vue
<template>
    <div>
        <DxDataGrid />
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import DxDataGrid from "devextreme-vue/data-grid";
import DataGrid from "devextreme/ui/data_grid";

const devicesConfig = [
    { deviceType: 'desktop' },
    { deviceType: 'tablet' },
    { deviceType: 'phone' },
];

devicesConfig.forEach(deviceConfig => {
    DataGrid.defaultOptions({
        device: deviceConfig,
        options: {
            // Here go the DataGrid properties
        }
    });
});

export default {
    components: {
        DxDataGrid

navigateToRow(key)

Navigates to a row with the specified key.

Parameters:
key: any

The row's key.

Return Value:

Promise<void> (jQuery or native)

A Promise that is resolved after the grid is navigated to the specified row. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.

This method performs the following actions:

  1. Switches the UI component to the data page that contains the specified row.
  2. Expands groups in which the row is nested (if rows are grouped and the groups are collapsed).
  3. Scrolls the UI component to display the row (if the row is outside the viewport).

View Demo

The following requirements apply when you use this method:

  • The UI component's keyExpr or the store's key property should be specified.

  • Rows should be initially sorted by keys. You can sort them on the server or use a column's sortOrder or the DataSource's sort property to sort the rows on the client.

  • Scrolling mode should not be "infinite".

If you enable the remoteOperations property, the DataGrid generates additional requests with comparison operators (for example, < and >) to calculate the page number where a row with a focused key is located. This logic does not work if ODataStore is bound to a table with GUID keys. You need to set the autoNavigateToFocusedRow property to false or disable the remoteOperations property to ensure it operates correctly.

Return Value:

Promise<void> (jQuery or native)

A Promise that is resolved after changes are saved in the data source. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.

searchByText(text)

Seeks a search string in the columns whose allowSearch property is true.

Parameters:
text:

String

A search string. Pass an empty string to clear search results.

selectAll()

Selects all rows.

Return Value:

Promise<void> (jQuery or native)

A Promise that is resolved after all rows are selected. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.

Depending on the value of the selectAllMode property, this method selects all rows on all pages or on the currently rendered pages only. If a filter is applied, this method selects only those rows that meet the filtering conditions.

View Demo

See Also

selectRows(keys, preserve)

Selects rows with specific keys.

Parameters:
keys:

Array<any>

The row keys.

preserve:

Boolean

Specifies whether previously selected rows should stay selected.

Return Value:

Promise<any> (jQuery or native)

A Promise that is resolved after the rows are selected. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.

By default, this method call clears selection of previously selected rows. To keep these rows selected, call this method with true as the second argument.

JavaScript
widgetInstance.selectRows([5, 10, 12], true);

If you specify DataGrid's key as composite (for example, key: ['id', 'name']), you need to call this method as follows:

JavaScript
widgetInstance.selectRows([ { id: 5, name: 'Alex' }, { id: 10: name: 'Bob' } ], true);

selectRowsByIndexes(indexes)

Selects rows with specific indexes.

Parameters:
indexes:

Array<Number>

The row indexes.

Return Value:

Promise<any> (jQuery or native)

A Promise that is resolved after the rows are selected. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.

View Demo

This method has the following specifics:

  • This method call clears selection of all previously selected rows.
  • When calculating row indexes, the UI component counts data and group rows. Nevertheless, only data rows can be selected.
  • If the pager is used, selection is cleared once a user moves to a different page. To preserve it, call this method within the onContentReady handler.

Please review the following notes:

  • If any filter is applied, totalCount() returns the count of records after filtering.

  • If paging is disabled in the DataGrid (paging.enabled is false) or in the underlying DataSource (paginate is false), totalCount() returns -1. To get the total record count in this case, you can use the following code:

    index.js
    const dataGrid = $("#dataGridContainer").dxDataGrid("instance");
    const dataSource = dataGrid.getDataSource();
    const recordCount = dataSource.items().length;
