 }
];

Selector

kendo-grid

Export Name

Accessible in templates as #kendoGridInstance="kendoGrid"

Inputs

autoSize boolean

Indicates whether the Grid columns will be resized during initialization so that
they fit their headers and row content. Defaults to false.
Columns with autoSize set to false are excluded.
To dynamically update the column width to match the new content,
refer to this example.

columnMenu boolean | ColumnMenuSettings (default: false)

Specifies if the column menu of the columns will be displayed (see example).

data Array | GridDataResult

Sets the data of the Grid. If an array is provided, the Grid automatically gets the total count
(more information and example).

detailRowHeight number

Defines the detail row height that is used when the scrollable option of the Grid is set to virtual.
Required by the virtual scrolling functionality.

filter CompositeFilterDescriptor

The descriptor by which the data will be filtered (see examples).

filterable FilterableSettings

Enables the filtering of the Grid columns that have their field option set.

groupable GroupableSettings | boolean

If set to true, the user can group the Grid by dragging the column header cells.
By default, grouping is disabled (see example).

height number

Defines the height (in pixels) that is used when the scrollable option of the Grid is set.
To set the height of the Grid, you can also use style.height. The style.height
option supports units such as px, %, em, rem, and others.

hideHeader boolean

Specifies if the header of the grid will be hidden. The header is visible by default.

The header includes column headers and the filter row.

loading boolean (default: false)

Specifies if the loading indicator of the Grid will be displayed (see example).

navigable boolean

If set to true, the user can use dedicated shortcuts to interact with the Grid.
By default, navigation is disabled and the Grid content is accessible in the normal tab sequence.

pageSize number

Defines the page size used by the Grid pager.
Required by the paging functionality.

pageable PagerSettings | boolean

Configures the pager of the Grid (see example).

The available options are:

• buttonCount: Number—Sets the maximum numeric buttons count before the buttons are collapsed.
• info: Boolean—Toggles the information about the current page and the total number of records.
• type: PagerType—Accepts the numeric (buttons with numbers) and input (input for typing the page number) values.
• pageSizes: Boolean or Array<number>—Shows a menu for selecting the page size.
• previousNext: Boolean—Toggles the Previous and Next buttons.

reorderable boolean (default: false)

If set to true, the user can reorder columns by dragging their header cells
(see example).

resizable boolean (default: false)

If set to true, the user can resize columns by dragging the edges (resize handles) of their header cells
(see example).

rowHeight number

Defines the row height that is used when the scrollable option of the Grid is set to virtual.
Required by the virtual scrolling functionality.

scrollable ScrollMode

Defines the scroll mode used by the Grid.

The available options are:

• none—Renders no scrollbar.
• scrollable—The default scroll mode. It requires the setting of the height option.
• virtual—Displays no pager and renders a portion of the data (optimized rendering) while the user is scrolling the content.

selectable SelectableSettings | boolean

Enables the single-row selection of the Grid.

sortable SortSettings

Enables the sorting of the Grid columns that have their field option set.

trackBy TrackByFunction<GridItem>

A function that defines how to track changes for the data rows.

By default, the Grid tracks changes by the index of the data item.
Edited rows are tracked by reference.
In some cases, you might need to override the default behavior,
for example, when you implement editing with immutable data items.

The following example demonstrates how to track items only by index.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { GridItem } from '@progress/kendo-angular-grid';

@Component({
   selector: 'my-app',
   template: `
       <kendo-grid [data]="gridData" [trackBy]="trackBy">
       </kendo-grid>
   `
})
class AppComponent {
   public gridData: any[] = products;

   public trackBy(index: number, item: GridItem): any {
       console.log(item);
       return index;
   }
}

const products = [{
   "ProductID": 1,
   "ProductName": "Chai",
   "UnitPrice": 18.0000,
   "Discontinued": true
 }, {
   "ProductID": 2,
   "ProductName": "Chang",
   "UnitPrice": 19.0000,
   "Discontinued": false
 }
];

virtualColumns boolean

If set to true, the grid will render only the columns in the current viewport.

group Array

The descriptors by which the data will be grouped (see example).

isDetailExpanded (args: RowArgs) => boolean

A function which determines if a specific row is expanded.

rowClass RowClassFn

Defines a function that is executed for every data row in the component.

import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
import { RowClassArgs } from '@progress/kendo-angular-grid';

@Component({
   selector: 'my-app',
   encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None,
   styles: [`
       .k-grid tr.even { background-color: #f45c42; }
       .k-grid tr.odd { background-color: #41f4df; }
   `],
   template: `
       <kendo-grid [data]="gridData" [rowClass]="rowCallback">
       </kendo-grid>
   `
})
class AppComponent {
   public gridData: any[] = products;

   public rowCallback(context: RowClassArgs) {
       const isEven = context.index % 2 == 0;
       return {
           even: isEven,
           odd: !isEven
       };
   }
}

const products = [{
   "ProductID": 1,
   "ProductName": "Chai",
   "UnitPrice": 18.0000,
   "Discontinued": true
 }, {
   "ProductID": 2,
   "ProductName": "Chang",
   "UnitPrice": 19.0000,
   "Discontinued": false
 }
];

rowSelected RowSelectedFn

Defines a Boolean function that is executed for each data row in the component
(see example).
Determines whether the row will be selected.

skip number

Defines the number of records to be skipped by the pager.
Required by the paging functionality.

sort Array

The descriptors by which the data will be sorted (see example).

Parameters

group any

The FormGroup that describes
the edit form. If called with a data item, it will build the FormGroup from the data item fields.

autoFitColumn

Applies the minimum possible width for the specified column,
so that the whole text fits without wrapping. This method expects the Grid
to be resizable (set resizable to true).
Makes sense to execute this method only
after the Grid is already populated with data.

@Component({
   selector: 'my-app',
   template: `
       <kendo-grid
           #grid
           [data]="gridData"

           <ng-template kendoGridToolbarTemplate>
                <button class="k-button" (click)="grid.autoFitColumn(groupColumn)">
                    Auto-fit the group column
                </button>
           </ng-template>

Parameters

columns Array<ColumnBase> | QueryList<ColumnBase>

cancelCell

Closes the current cell in edit mode.

closeCell

Closes the current cell in edit mode and fires
the cellClose event.

Returns

boolean Indicates whether the edited cell was closed.
A false value indicates that the
cellClose event was prevented.

closeRow

Closes the editor for a given row (see example).

Parameters

index? number

The row index that will be switched out of the edit mode. If no index is provided, it is assumed
that the new item editor will be closed.

collapseGroup

Collapses a group header item for the given index. For example,
0_1 collapses the second inner group of the first master group.

• When you use the kendoGridGroupBinding directive, the expandGroup method is not supported.
• When a Grid is pageable, the indexes of the groups are offset by the current Grid skip.

Parameters

index string

The underscore separated hierarchical index of the group.

collapseRow

Collapses the specified master row (see example).

This method is provided only for backwards-compatibility with legacy versions.
These versions tracked the expanded state internally using the data row index.

For new development, use the kendoGridDetailsExpandBy directive
or provide an isDetailExpanded callback. See Controlling the Expanded State
for examples on how to control the expanded state.

Parameters

index number

The data row index of the master row.

drawPDF

Exports the Grid element to a Drawing Group by using the kendo-grid-pdf component options.
(see example).

Returns

Promise - A promise that will be resolved with the Drawing Group.

editCell

Puts the cell that is specified by the table row and column in edit mode.

Parameters

rowIndex number

The data row index that will be switched in the edit mode.

column number | string | any

The leaf column index, or the field name or the column instance that should be edited.

group? any

The FormGroup
that describes the edit form.

editRow

Switches the specified table row in the edit mode (see example).

Parameters

rowIndex number

The data row index that will be switched in the edit mode.

group? FormGroup

The FormGroup
that describes the edit form.

options? EditRowOptions

Additional options configuring the focus target once the editor opens.

expandGroup

Expands a group header item for the given index. For example,
0_1 expands the second inner group of the first master group.

• When you use the kendoGridGroupBinding directive, the expandGroup method is not supported.
• When a Grid is pageable, the indexes of the groups are offset by the current Grid skip.

Parameters

index string

The underscore separated hierarchical index of the group.

expandRow

Expands the specified master row (see example).

This method is provided only for backwards-compatibility with legacy versions.
These versions tracked the expanded state internally using the data row index.

For new development, use the kendoGridDetailsExpandBy directive
or provide an isDetailExpanded callback. See Controlling the Expanded State
for examples on how to control the expanded state.

Parameters

index number

The data row index of the master row.

focus

Focuses the last active or the first cell of the Grid.

Returns

NavigationCell The focused cell.

focusCell

Focuses the cell with the specified row and column index.

The row index is based on the logical structure of the Grid and does not correspond to the data item index:

• Header rows are included, starting at index 0.
• Group headers and footers are included.
• The row indexing is absolute and does not change with paging.

If the Grid is configured for scrolling, including virtual scrolling, the scroll position will be updated.
If the row is not present on the current page, the method will have no effect.

Parameters

rowIndex number

The logical row index to focus. The top header row has an index 0.

colIndex number

The column index to focus.

Returns

NavigationCell The focused cell.

focusNextCell

Focuses the next cell, optionally wrapping to the next row.

Parameters

wrap boolean

A Boolean value which indicates if the focus will move to the next row. Defaults to true.

Returns

NavigationCell The focused cell. If the focus is already on the last cell, returns null.

focusPrevCell

Focuses the previous cell. Optionally wraps to the previous row.

Parameters

wrap boolean

A Boolean value which indicates if the focus will move to the next row. Defaults to true.

Returns

NavigationCell The focused cell. If the focus is already on the first cell, returns null.

isEditing

Returns a flag which indicates if a row or a cell is currently edited.

Returns

boolean A flag which indicates if a row or a cell is currently edited.

isEditingCell

Returns a flag which indicates if a cell is currently edited.

Returns

boolean A flag which indicates if a cell is currently being edited.

reorderColumn

Changes the position of the specified column.
The reordering of columns operates only on the level
which is inferred by the source column.
For the reorderColumn method to work properly,
the source column has to be visible.
