Conditionally visible custom command?

[Thomas]

Is it possible to have custom commands that are only rendered if some property in the data row is set?

I thought of data looking something like this:

[

{name:"Olivia", email:"[e-mail]", showContactInfo: 1 },

{name:"Michael", email:"[e-mail]",showContactInfo: 0},

{name:"Peterl", email:"[e-mail]",showContactInfo: 0}

]

The idea is that you could:

if (showContactInfo) // make the custom command visible for this row

Another way to go could be a detail template, which was only accessible for some rows depending on the condition?

Hi Thomas,

You can use a row template with expressions (IF statements) inside.

Hi
I have tried this, but I get an "unterminated string literal error"

My columns definition looks like this:

columns: [

{ field:"name", title: "name" },

{ field:"drugId", title: "drugId" },

{ field:"form", title: "form" },

{field:"strength", title:"strength"},

{ field: "dspNumber",

title:"DSP",

template: "#if (dspNumber) # <button>do stuff</button> "  }

 ]

Have I missed something in my template condition?

Hi Thomas,

Please compare the following example with your implementation.

Thanks.
I solved it by using a template in a script tag instead of inlining it in the columns array.
I still get the "unterminated string literal" error, if I use your jsfiddle example - but the very same code in a script tag works.

Best,

I am trying to create custom commands that will put rows into inline edit mode. Just like when a row goes into edit by default, I want to change the function of my custom edit button to a custom save button. the problem that I am having is that the "editor" property is ignored if there is nothing in the "field" property.

Also when i put a row into edit mode and then come out of edit it does not retain the click binding.
