How to Add a new row into a grid in batch Mode

[Sahal]

When adding a row in batch mode it add a with cell values [object object] even though using the column directive defaultValue

This happens only when the defaulValue is set as ""(Blank string ) or 0 (zero) Other than these both values the new row is added with default value

Is there any event that occurs when  a new row is added to the grid in batch mode

Hi Sahal, 

 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support. 

 

Query #1: When adding a row in batch mode it add a with cell values [object object] even though using the column directive defaultValue  

 

By default Grid Edit form input elements will be rendered based on the column type or type of first record field values. While the Grid dataSource is empty then you need to provide the column.type property to overcome the reported behavior. Please refer to the below code example, documentation link and sample link.  

  

[component.html]  

<ejs-grid #batchgrid id='Batchgrid' [dataSource]='data' allowPaging='true' [pageSettings]='pageSettings' [editSettings]='editSettings' [toolbar]='toolbar'> 

            <e-columns> 

                <e-column field='OrderID' defaultValue=0 headerText='Order ID' width='120' textAlign='Right' isPrimaryKey='true' [validationRules]='orderidrules'></e-column> 

                <e-column field='CustomerID' defaultValue="" type="string" headerText='Customer ID' width='120' [validationRules]='customeridrules'></e-column> 

                <e-column field='Freight' headerText='Freight' width='120' format='C2' textAlign='Right' type="number" editType='numericedit' [validationRules]='freightrules'></e-column> 

                <e-column field='OrderDate' headerText='Order Date' width='130' type="date" format='yMd' editType='datepickeredit' textAlign='Right'></e-column> 

                <e-column field='ShipCountry' headerText='Ship Country' width='150' editType='dropdownedit' type="string" [edit] ='editparams'></e-column> 

            </e-columns> 

        </ejs-grid>

Query #2: Is there any event that occurs when  a new row is added to the grid in batch mode  

 

In Essential JavaScript 2 Grid  batch editing, ‘batchAdd’ event will be triggered when a new row is added in batch mode. Please refer to the below documentation link.

Hi ,

The issue was solved to an extend by following your instructions

When the user sets a blank value to the cell it is either shown as NaN or [Object Object] depending on the type.

The expected behavior is to show blank for a string and zero/blank for a number

Hi Pavithra

I think you did not go through my previous reply thoroughly

I had mentioned an issue that persists

When the user sets a blank value to the cell it is either shown as NaN or [Object Object] depending on the type.

The expected behavior is to show blank for a string and zero/blank for a number

Please let me know how to solve the above stated issue

Hi Sahal, 

 

Greetings from Syncfusion. 

 

We have checked your query and as per our update on January 24^th , 2019 on this thread, We suggest you to set the “column.type” property. So the cells will show Zero/blank based on the “column.type” while the Grid has no data. Please refer to the below screenshot, code example and sample link for more information. 

 

 

 

[component.ts] 

<ejs-grid #batchgrid id='Batchgrid' [dataSource]='data' allowPaging='true' [pageSettings]='pageSettings' [editSettings]='editSettings' [toolbar]='toolbar'> 

            <e-columns> 

                <e-column field='OrderID' defaultValue="" type='number' headerText='Order ID' width='120' textAlign='Right' isPrimaryKey='true' [validationRules]='orderidrules'></e-column> 

                <e-column field='CustomerID' defaultValue=""  type='string' headerText='Customer ID' width='120' [validationRules]='customeridrules'></e-column> 

                <e-column field='Freight' headerText='Freight' width='120' format='C2' textAlign='Right' type="number" editType='numericedit' [validationRules]='freightrules'></e-column> 

                <e-column field='OrderDate' headerText='Order Date' width='130' type="date" format='yMd' editType='datepickeredit' textAlign='Right'></e-column> 

                <e-column field='ShipCountry' headerText='Ship Country' width='150' editType='dropdownedit' type="string" [edit] ='editparams'></e-column> 

            </e-columns> 

        </ejs-grid>

Remove the validation rule for the Customer ID and Clear the editor. When the focus is moved out it will show [object object]

Hi Sahal, 

 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

 

You can achieve your requirement by setting the default value by using the below way. Please refer to the below code example for more information. 

 

[component.html] 

<ejs-grid #batchgrid id='Batchgrid' [dataSource]='data' allowPaging='true' [pageSettings]='pageSettings' [editSettings]='editSettings' [toolbar]='toolbar'> 

    <e-columns> 

       <e-column field='CustomerID' [defaultValue]="" type="string" headerText='Customer ID' width='120'></e-column> 

        <e-column field='Freight' headerText='Freight' [defaultValue]=0 type="number" width='120' format='N2' textAlign='Right'></e-column> 

    </e-columns> 

</ejs-grid>
