How to get the column name or index of grid from DataItem

[Fraser]

I have an editor function, where I receive a dataItem parameter. I'm wondering if there's a way to retrieve the column name or index from this dataItem.

Hi Fraser,

A possible approach is to pass the column name as a parameter in the template function. 

{
           field: "CategoryID",
           width: "200px",
           title: "Category",
           template: "#=templateFunction(data, 'CategoryID')#",
           editable: function() {
           return false
     }
},

 

function templateFunction(dataItem, field) {
          var columnField = field;
         .....  
 };

Here is a Dojo example where this is demonstrated. 

I hope this helps.
