Inserting child records in Treegrid

Damir Gabeljic

Asked On July 31, 2019 07:33 AM UTC

Hi

what's the proper way to add child row to Treegrid?

First I tried do push record to dataSource array, but nothing happens.

Then I tried to use treegrid addRecord method, but the results aren't as expected.

I have modified one of your samples for my scenario: https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-vrtsl2

Another question is how to make new row visible (scroll to it)?

Thanks in advance

Damir

Hi Damir,

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Forums.

QUERY1: what's the proper way to add child row to Treegrid?

From your query we understand that you are unable to add child row to the TreeGrid. In the sample you have shared, you have set button to the parent rows, and on button click you need to add child row to that parent row.

In order to achieve your requirement, please follow the below steps,

For Adding/Editing you need to set isPrimaryKey to true for particular column.
Since you need to add record as child, set newRowPosition property of editSettings as “Child”.
In Button Click event, you need to call the addRecord method with the data and index of parent record as parameters.

Please refer the below code snippet,

<ejs-treegrid #treegrid [dataSource]='data' height='400' childMapping='subtasks' [treeColumnIndex]='0'[editSettings]='editSettings' (actionComplete)='actionComplete($event)'>

<e-columns>

<e-column field='taskID' headerText='Task ID' isPrimaryKey='true' width='90' textAlign='Right' ></e-column>

<e-column width="150">

<ng-template #template let-data>

<button (click)="insert(data)" *ngIf="data.level == 0">INSERT CHILD</button>

</ng-template>

</e-column>

</e-columns>

</ejs-treegrid>

export class AppComponent implements OnInit{

public data: Object[] = [];

public editSettings: Object;

@ViewChild('treegrid')

public treegrid: TreeGrid;

ngOnInit(): void {

this.data = sampleData;

this.editSettings ={ allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true, mode:"Row", newRowPosition: 'Child'};

}

insert(data: any) {

var value = { taskID: 33333, taskName: 'Plan timeline'};

this.treegrid.addRecord(value, data.index);

// call addRecord method with data and index of parent record as parameters

}

Please refer the below help documentations,

https://ej2.syncfusion.com/documentation/api/treegrid/column/#isprimarykey

https://ej2.syncfusion.com/documentation/api/treegrid/editSettingsModel/#newrowposition

https://ej2.syncfusion.com/documentation/api/treegrid/edit/#addrecord

QUERY2: how to make new row visible (scroll to it)?

In order to scroll to the newly added row, call the selectRow method with the index of the added row as parameter in the actionComplete event with args.requestType as “save”.

Please refer the below code snippet,

actionComplete(args): void {

if (args.requestType == "save") {

var index = args.index;

this.treegrid.selectRow(index); // select the newly added row to scroll to it

}

Please refer the below sample,
