Asked On October 15, 2019 11:20 AM UTC

I am currently using the Grid in a view in ASP MVC 5.

I have a list of objects stored in the script in the page called list e.g:

var list = [{...}, {...}, {...}];

How can I set the Grid's data source to use this javascript list?

I tried setting @Html.EJS().Grid("Results").DataSource("list"), however, this does not work.

Hi Rowan , 
 
 We suggest you to use the below solution to resolve this problem. Here we use the load event to inject datas into the grid.  
 
index.cshtml 
 
@Html.EJS().Grid("FlatGrid").Load("load").Columns(col => 
{ 
    col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("Order ID").IsPrimaryKey(true).Width("120").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Add(); 
    col.Field("CustomerID").HeaderText("Customer ID").Width("150").Add(); 
   ... 
 
<script> 
 
    var List = [{ OrderID: 12345, CustomerID: "VINET", Country: "Italy", State: "france" }, 
    { OrderID: 12345, CustomerID: "SUPRD", Country: "Italy", State: "france" }, 
    { OrderID: 12345, CustomerID: "HANAR", Country: "Italy", State: "france" }, 
    { OrderID: 12345, CustomerID: "TOMSP", Country: "Italy", State: "france" } 
    ] 
 
    function load(args) { 
        this.dataSource = List; 
    } 
 
</script> 


Please get back to us if you need further assistance

Hi Ronald, 
 
Query : can I define queryString? 
 
Yes, youcan define querystring to get the field to be matched. Here we use "EmployeeID" as a querystring. 
 
Query : can I use parentDetails.parentKeyFieldValue?

 
Yes, you can use it by the following code "e.data.EmployeeID". 
 
A working sample is attached below for your reference. DataSource for the childGrid was filtered based on the e.data.EmployeeID using the DataManager. 
 
index.cshtml 
 
<script type="text/x-template" id="detailtemplate1">  
    <div class="detailgridone"></div> 
    <div class="detailgrid2"></div> 
</script> 
 
function detailDataBound(e) { 
 
       let data = [{ 
           OrderID: 10248, CustomerID: 'VINET', EmployeeID: 5, OrderDate: new Date(8364186e5), 
           ShipName: 'Vins et alcools Chevalier', ShipCity: 'Reims', ShipAddress: '59 rue de l Abbaye', 
        ... 
             ]{ 
 
 let firstgrid = new ej.grids.Grid({ 
           dataSource: [], 
           columns: [ 
           { field: 'EmployeeID', headerText: 'Employee ID', width: 110 } 
           ] 
         }); 
         firstgrid.appendTo(e.detailElement.querySelector('.detailgridone')); 
         let queryString = 'EmployeeID';  //  queryString used 
         let query = new ej.data.Query().where(queryString, 'equal', e.data.EmployeeID);  //  parentKeyFieldValue used  
         new ej.data.DataManager({ json: data }).executeQuery(query).then((e) => { 
         firstgrid.dataSource = e.result; 
        }) 
 
       let secondgrid = new ej.grids.Grid({ 
           dataSource: [], 
           columns: [ 
            { field: 'EmployeeID', headerText: 'EmployeeID', width: 110 } 
            ] 
        }); 
           secondgrid.appendTo(e.detailElement.querySelector('.detailgrid2')); 
           queryString = 'EmployeeID';   //  queryString used 
           query = new ej.data.Query().where(queryString, 'equal', e.data.EmployeeID);  //  parentKeyFieldValue used  
           new ej.data.DataManager({ json: data }).executeQuery(query).then((e) => { 
           secondgrid.dataSource = e.result; 
        })
