JavaScript/jQuery TreeList - stateStoring

Configures state storing.

Type:

Object

State storing enables the UI component to save applied settings and restore them the next time the UI component is loaded. Assign true to the stateStoring.enabled property to enable this functionality.

State storing saves the following properties:

  1. expandedRowKeys are not saved if autoExpandAll is true.

customLoad

Specifies a function that is executed on state loading. Applies only if the type is 'custom'.

Type:

Function

Return Value:

Promise<Object> (jQuery or native)

The UI component state. As a rule, it is a state that you save within the customSave function.

Use the customSave and customLoad functions to manually implement state storing: in customSave, save the state to a storage; in customLoad, load it. You can also modify the state in both functions.

View Example

If you need to save and load the state from a remote storage, use the following code:

jQuery
JavaScript
function sendStorageRequest (storageKey, dataType, method, data) {
    var deferred = new $.Deferred;
    var storageRequestSettings = {
        url: "https://url/to/your/storage/" + JSON.stringify(storageKey),
        headers: {
            "Accept" : "text/html",
            "Content-Type" : "text/html"
        },
        method: method,
        data: data ? JSON.stringify(data) : null,
        dataType: dataType,
        success: function (data) {
            deferred.resolve(data);
        },
        fail: function (error) {
            deferred.reject();
        }
    };
    $.ajax(storageRequestSettings);
    return deferred.promise();

            },
