Hi

I am using the Kendo Grid with Angular but I was wondering what is the recommended way to have an editable text box in a cell within the grid.

I can't seem to get 2 way data binding working from the grid's own dataItem scope back to the original binding model.

Here's how I have done it using ng-change which works but seems like the incorrect way to me.

In my controller's init function I have:

            vm.gridOptions = {
                scrollable: false,
                dataSource: new kendo.data.DataSource(),
                columns: [
                    {
                        title: "Service Category",
                        field: "ServiceCategoryName"
                    },
                    {
                        title: "Service",
                        field: "ServiceName"
                    },
                    {
                        title: "Quantity",
                        width: "120px",
                        template: "<input type='text' ng-model='dataItem.Quantity' ng-change='vm.quantityChanged(dataItem)' />"
                    }
                ]
            };

Later I call from the controller:

formCommonFactory.populateKendoGrid(vm.gridOptions, vm.costCentreGroups);

And this is my function I use to populate the grid called from the controller.

        function populateKendoGrid(gridOptions, values) {
            
            var d = new kendo.data.DataSource({
                data: values
            });

            d.read();

            gridOptions.dataSource.data(d.data());
            
        };​

 Thanks, 

Oliver

Hello Oliver,

 

The approach is not the most beautiful one indeed but unavoidable, currently. The ng-model will perform direct assignment to the dataItem field, bypassing the set method of the observable. This is described at the end of this help article

Hi Petyo,

 

Thanks for the response. I am now doing it like this from the control in my template:

ng-model='vm.addedServices[vm.getRowIndex(dataItem)].Quantity'

A calculate the array index with the primary key which works fine.

Having said that is there a way to access the current row index from within the template? e.g. dataItem.$index or something similar?

 

Thanks again,

 Oliver

Hello Oliver,

 

you may obtain the index of the dataItem in the datasource collection, if this helps somehow - please check this method.
