Datagrid Component

DataGrid is a component that displays data in a grid format. It supports pagination, sorting, and filtering. The component can be used to display data from a GraphQL query.

View Types

The DataGrid supports three view types: table (default), collection, and list.

View TypeDescription
tableTraditional table grid with rows and columns (default)
collectionResponsive grid of cards, ideal for visual browsing
listCompact single-column list using MUI List components

Table View (Default)

The standard table view displays data in rows and columns:

views:
- name: tableView
displayName:
en-US: Table View
viewType: table # or omit - table is default
columns:
- name: name
- name: email
- name: status

Collection View

Collection view displays data as a responsive grid of cards:

DataGrid Options

The options object is used to configure the datagrid. The options object has the following properties:

  • query - The name of the GraphQL query to use to fetch data for the datagrid.
  • rootEntityName - The name of the root entity in the GraphQL query.
  • entityKeys - An array of entity keys to use to identify the entity in the datagrid.
  • enableDynamicGrid - A boolean value that indicates whether the datagrid is dynamic.
  • navigationType - The type of navigation to use when navigating to a new page.
  • editableOptions - An object that contains the editable options for the datagrid.
  • onDataLoad - An array of actions to execute when the data is loaded.
  • onEditClick - An action to execute when the edit button is clicked.
  • onRowClick - An action to execute when a row is clicked.
  • defaultView - The default view to display in the datagrid.
  • toolbar - An array of toolbar items to display in the datagrid.
  • items - An array of items to display in the datagrid. As alternative to query property.

Columns

The columns object is an array of objects that define the columns in the datagrid. Each object in the columns array has a name property that defines the field name or resolver for the GraphQL query.

Column Properties

  • name - The name of the field or resolver for the GraphQL query.
  • label - An object that contains the labels for the column.
  • editor - An object that defines the editor for the column.
  • showAs - An object that defines how to display the column value.
  • value - Value column. GraphQL query will ignore this column, and the value will be computed from the value property.
  • props.allowOrderBy - Boolean to enable/disable sorting on this column (default: true).
  • props.orderByProperty - Optional property name to use for sorting instead of the column name. Useful when displaying a formatted value but sorting by an underlying field (e.g., display customer name but sort by customer ID).

Editable Options (Prototype Phase)

To enable editing on the datagrid, you need to provide the editableOptions object in the options object and set the enableEdit property to true in the views object.

The editableOptions object has two properties: onRowChange and onRowDelete. Both properties are objects that have a mutation property. The mutation property is a mutation that will be executed when the row is changed or deleted.

Column editors can be defined in the columns object. The editor object is a field component that will be used to edit the column value. The editor object has a type property that defines the type of editor to use.

views:
- name: allCountries
enableEdit: true
columns:
- name: countryCode
label:
en-US: Country code
editor:
# field props for the editor
type: text
editableOptions:
onNewRow: # mutation to create a new record
mutation:
onRowChange: # mutation to update a record
mutation:
onRowDelete: # mutation to delete a record
mutation:

Selectable

To enable selection on the datagrid, you need to set the enableSelect property to Single or Multiple in the views object.

When selection is enabled, the selected rows will be available in the gridName.selectedItems property in store.

Child Views

Child views are used to display nested data in the datagrid. The childViews object is an array of objects that define the child views for the datagrid. Each object in the childViews array has a name property that defines the field name or resolver for the GraphQL query.

Styling

The DataGrid component supports conditional styling for rows and columns based on data values, with support for light and dark themes.

Row Styles

Configure row styles using the rowStyles property within each view:

views:
- name: allCountries
rowStyles:
# Conditional styles based on row data
conditions:
- condition: "{{ isEquals item.status 'active' }}"
className: "row-active"
style:
light:
backgroundColor: "#e8f5e9"
borderColor: "#4caf50"
dark:
backgroundColor: "#1b5e20"
borderColor: "#66bb6a"

- condition: "{{ moreThan item.amount 10000 }}"
className: "row-high-value"
style:
light:
backgroundColor: "#fff3e0"
color: "#e65100"
fontWeight: "bold"
dark:
backgroundColor: "#3e2723"
color: "#ffab40"
fontWeight: "bold"

- condition: "{{ eval item.daysOverdue > 30 }}"
className: "row-overdue"
style:
light:
backgroundColor: "#ffebee"
opacity: 0.9
dark:
backgroundColor: "#4a1419"
opacity: 0.9

# Use a field value as className
classNameField: "item.rowStyleClass"

# Style function for complex logic
styleFunction: "{{ eval getRowStyle(item) }}"

Column Styles

Extend column definitions with style properties:

columns:
- name: status
label:
en-US: Status
styles:
# Conditional cell styles
conditions:
- condition: "{{ isEquals value 'completed' }}"
className: "cell-success"
style:
light:
backgroundColor: "#d4edda"
color: "#155724"
borderRadius: "4px"
padding: "4px 8px"
dark:
backgroundColor: "#1e4620"
color: "#82e284"
borderRadius: "4px"
padding: "4px 8px"

- condition: "{{ isEquals value 'pending' }}"
className: "cell-warning"
style:
light:
backgroundColor: "#fff3cd"
color: "#856404"
borderRadius: "4px"
padding: "4px 8px"
dark:
backgroundColor: "#3d2f00"
color: "#ffd54f"
borderRadius: "4px"
padding: "4px 8px"

- condition: "{{ isEquals value 'failed' }}"
className: "cell-danger"
style:
light:
backgroundColor: "#f8d7da"

borderRadius: "4px"
padding: "4px 8px"
dark:
backgroundColor: "#4a1419"

borderRadius: "4px"
padding: "4px 8px"

# Column-wide style
className: "column-status"
align: "center" # left, center, right
width: "120px"
minWidth: "80px"
maxWidth: "200px"
