How to access currently edited row data

I have a dropdown list as a custom vue template and I'm using eventbus to send the selected value to the parent. Based on this value I would like to set some default values to the other columns on this added/edited row. How can I modify/access the current row data?

Hi Hiski, 
 
Thanks for contacting us. 
 
Query: Based on this value I would like to set some default values to the other columns on this added/edited row. How can I modify/access the current row data? 
 
You can get the current edited data and other columns value while editing as like the below code example. Please refer the below code example and sample for more information. 
 
<template> 
  <div id="app"> 
    <ejs-grid 
      ref="grid" 
      id="Grid" 
      :dataSource="data" 
. . . 
        <e-column 
          field="ShipCountry" 
          headerText="Ship Country" 
          width="150" 
          :editTemplate="editTemplate" 
. . . 
    </ejs-grid> 
  </div> 
</template> 
<script> 
import Vue from "vue"; 
import { GridPluginPageToolbarEdit } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids"; 
import { gridData } from "./data"; 
import { DropDownListPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns"; 
import { DatePickerPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-calendars"; 
import UserDropdown from "./child"; 
 
Vue.use(GridPlugin); 
Vue.use(DropDownListPlugin); 
Vue.use(DatePickerPlugin); 
Vue.prototype.$eventHub = new Vue(); 
export default { 
  components: { 
    UserDropdown 
  }, 
  data() { 
    return { 
      shipCountry: "", 
. . . 
      }, 
      toolbar: ["Add""Edit""Delete""Update""Cancel"] 
    }; 
  }, 
  methods: { 
    editTemplate: function() { 
      return { template: UserDropdown }; 
    }, 
    actionBegin: function(args) { 
      if (args.requestType === "beginEdit") { 
// event hub emit listener for dropdown 
        this.$eventHub.$on("ShipCountry"this.getTemplateValue); 
      } 
      if (args.requestType === "save") { 
        args.data.ShipCountry = this.shipCountry; 
      } 
    }, 
    getTemplateValuefunction(e) { 
      var editModule = this.$refs.grid.ej2Instances.editModule; 
      this.shipCountry = e; 
// here we can get the current Edited row data 
      var currentRowData = editModule.getCurrentEditedData(editModule.formObj.element,{}); 
      // to select other input field   -- grid element id + field name 
      editModule.formObj.element.querySelector("#Grid" + "CustomerID").value = e; 
    } 
  }, 
 
  provide: { 
    grid: [PageEditToolbar] 
  } 
}; 
</script> 
 
<style> 
</style>

Thank you for fast support! 
Modifying the data works great, even when I'm getting following error sometimes to console:
"TypeError: Cannot read property 'ej2Instances' of undefined"
from this line:
var editModule = this.$refs.grid.ej2Instances.editModule;

After page reload there is no error, but if I navigate to other page and back I get it.

Hi Hiski, 
 
Thanks for your update. 
 
We suspect that the event bus handler was not removed after editing complete, so that it gets called again even after the component destroyed that causes the reported error. To resolve this error, we need to turn off the event listener after saving the value in row data. Please refer the below modified code example and sample. 
 
<template> 
  <div id="app"> 
    <ejs-grid 
      ref="grid" 
      id="Grid" 
      :dataSource="data" 
      :editSettings="editSettings" 
      :actionBegin="actionBegin" 
. . . 
  methods: { 
    editTemplate: function() { 
      return { template: UserDropdown }; 
    }, 
    actionBegin: function(args) { 
      if (args.requestType === "beginEdit") { 
        this.$eventHub.$on("ShipCountry"this.getTemplateValue); 
      } 
      if (args.requestType === "save") { 
        args.data.ShipCountry = this.shipCountry; 
//turn off the event listener once we have start to save the value 
        this.$eventHub.$off("ShipCountry"this.getTemplateValue); 
      } 
    }, 
    getTemplateValue: function(e) { 
      this.shipCountry = e; 
      var editModule = this.$refs.grid.ej2Instances.editModule; 
      var currentRowData = editModule.getCurrentEditedData(editModule.formObj.element,{}); 
      // to select other input field   -- grid element id + field name 
      editModule.formObj.element.querySelector("#Grid" + "CustomerID").value = e; 
    } 
  }, 
 
  provide: { 
    grid: [PageEditToolbar] 
  } 
}; 
</script> 
. . .

That seems to fix it. Thank you!

One more question. How to access all data after editing? I need to send the data array to the parent component. The dataSource is not updated after editing. Thank you in advance!


BS Balaji Sekar Syncfusion Team January 30, 2020 12:03 PM UTC

Hi Hiski, 
 
Thanks for your update. 
 
You can use actionComplete event for this requirement, which triggers after the data is saved to the dataSource. Please find the below code example and sample for more information. 
 
<template> 
  <div id="app"> 
    <ejs-grid 
      ref="grid" 
      id="Grid" 
      :dataSource="data" 
      :actionComplete="actionComplete" 
      :editSettings="editSettings" 
      :actionBegin="actionBegin" 
. . . 
  methods: { 
. . . 
    actionComplete: function (e) { 
      if (e.requestType === 'save') { 
// here you can get all the data after updating 
       console.log('Data',this.$refs.grid.ej2Instances.dataSource); 
      } 
    }, 
. . . 
}; 
</script>
