React DataGrid Methods

See Also

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.

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();
      })
  });

  })
  export class AppComponent {
      constructor() {
          this.dataSource = new DataSource({
              // ...
          })
      }
      // ...
      insertRowRemote: function(dataObj) {
          this.dataSource.store().insert(dataObj).then(function() {
              this.dataSource.reload();
          })
      }

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.

See Also

The beginUpdate() and endUpdate() methods prevent the UI component from excessive updates when you are changing multiple UI component settings at once. After the beginUpdate() method is called, the UI component does not update its UI until the endUpdate() method is called.

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

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.

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

import DataGrid, { Properties } from "devextreme/ui/data_grid";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        DataGrid.defaultOptions<Properties>({
            device: { deviceType: "desktop" },
            options: {
                // Here go the DataGrid properties
            }
        });
    }
}

<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>

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>
    )
}

This method removes the first column found by either of the below:

• Name
  The unique name of the column.

• Column Index
  The index of the column in the columns array.

• Data Field
  The name of the data source field assigned to the column.

• Caption

Depending on the value of the selectAllMode property, this method clears selection of all rows on all pages or on the currently rendered pages only. The selection is cleared of only those rows that meet filtering conditions if a filter is applied. To clear selection regardless of the selectAllMode property's value or applied filters, call the clearSelection() method.

let element = document.getElementById("myDataGrid");
let instance = DataGrid.getInstance(element) as DataGrid;

// Non-modular approach
let element = document.getElementById("myDataGrid");
let instance = DevExpress.ui.dxDataGrid.getInstance(element);

The whole data object is considered a key if the field providing keys is not specified in the data source. In this case, this method returns data objects, that is, operates like the getSelectedRowsData() method.

Note that when selection is deferred, the method returns a Promise (a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery) that should be resolved with an array of keys.

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".

The UI component cannot track changes a third party makes in the data source. To update data in the UI component in this case, call the refresh() method. Data sources of lookup columns are updated with the main data source.

The following code shows how to call this method:

var dataGrid = $("#dataGridContainer").dxDataGrid("instance");
dataGrid.refresh()
    .done(function() {
        // ...
    })
    .fail(function(error) {
        // ...
    });

<dx-data-grid #dataGridVar ... >

    refreshDataGrid() {
        this.dataGrid.instance.refresh()

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.

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:

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

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.

    $("#save").dxButton({

            // Saves the state in the local storage
            localStorage.setItem("dataGridState", JSON.stringify(state));
        }
    });
    $("#load").dxButton({

After the state is set, the DataGrid reloads data to apply sorting, filtering, and other data processing settings.

Refer to the state() method description for an example of how to work with the UI component state.

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:

  jQuery

  index.js

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