How to save changes immediately after editing a cell in batchediting?

3 mins read

Solution:

We can save the changes of single cell edited value in jQuery Grid instead of saving the entire batch changes, when batch editing is enabled. In cellEdit event, we can get the batch changes and using “batchSave” method the edited single cell value get saved.

The following code example demonstrates how to save the changes in each cell immediately without saving the entire batch change.

1. Render the Grid control with cellEdit event.

JS

<div id="Grid"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  $(function () {
   $("#Grid").ejGrid({                
        dataSource: window.gridData,
        allowPaging: true,
        editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true, editMode:"batch" },
        toolbarSettings: { showToolbar: true, toolbarItems: [ej.Grid.ToolBarItems.Add, ej.Grid.ToolBarItems.Edit, ej.Grid.ToolBarItems.Delete, ej.Grid.ToolBarItems.Update, ej.Grid.ToolBarItems.Cancel] },
        columns: [
                 { field: "OrderID", isPrimaryKey: true, headerText: "Order ID",  width: 90 },
                 { field: "CustomerID", headerText: "Customer ID",  width: 90 },
                 { field: "EmployeeID", headerText: "Employee ID",  editType: ej.Grid.EditingType.Dropdown, width: 80  },
                 { field: "Freight", headerText: "Freight", width: 80, format: "{0:C}" }
        ],
      cellEdit:"cellEdit"
      });
  });
 </script> 

 

MVC

@(Html.EJ().Grid<object>("Grid")
            .Datasource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.datasource)
            .AllowPaging()    /*Paging Enabled*/
            .ClientSideEvents(eve => eve.CellEdit ("cellEdit"))
            .EditSettings(edit => { edit.AllowAdding().AllowDeleting().AllowEditing().EditMode(EditMode.Batch);  })
           .ToolbarSettings(toolbar =>
      {
         toolbar.ShowToolbar().ToolbarItems(items =>
          {
               items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Add);
               items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Edit);
               items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Delete);
               items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Update);
               items.AddTool(ToolBarItems.Cancel);
          });
        })
        .Columns(col =>
          {
            col.Field("OrderID").HeaderText("Order ID").IsPrimaryKey(true).Width(90).Add();
            col.Field("CustomerID").HeaderText("Customer ID").Width(90).Add();
            col.Field("EmployeeID").HeaderText("Employee ID").EditType(EditingType.Dropdown).Width(80).Add();
            col.Field("Freight").HeaderText("Freight").Width(80).Format("{0:C}").Add();
        }))

 

C#

[Controller]
namespace EJGrid.Controllers
{
    public class HomeController : Controller
    {
        public ActionResult Index()
        {
            var DataSource = OrderRepository.GetAllRecords();
            ViewBag.datasource = DataSource;
            return View();
        }        
    }
}

 

ASP

<ej:Grid ID="Grid" runat="server"  AllowPaging="True" >
   <ClientSideEvents CellEdit="cellEdit " />
     <Columns>
      <ej:Column Field="OrderID" HeaderText="Order ID" IsPrimaryKey="True"  Width="90" />
      <ej:Column Field="CustomerID" HeaderText="Customer ID" Width="90" />
      <ej:Column Field="EmployeeID" HeaderText="Employee ID"  EditType="Dropdown" Width="80" />
       <ej:Column Field="Freight" HeaderText="Freight"  Width="80" Format="{0:C}"  />                
      </Columns>
      <EditSettings AllowEditing="True" AllowAdding="True" AllowDeleting="True" EditMode="Batch"></EditSettings>
        <ToolbarSettings ShowToolbar="True" ToolbarItems="add,edit,delete,update,cancel"></ToolbarSettings>
</ej:Grid>
        

 

[CS]
public partial class _Default : Page
{    
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
            this.Grid.DataSource = new NorthwindDataContext().Orders;
            this.Grid.DataBind();
    }
}

 

.Net core

<ej-grid id="Grid" allow-paging="true" datasource="ViewBag.DataSource" cell-edit="cellEdit ">
    <e-edit-settings allow-adding="true" allow-editing="true" allow-deleting="true" edit-mode="@(EditMode.Batch)"></e-edit-settings>
    <e-toolbar-settings show-toolbar="true" toolbar-items='@new List<string> {"add","edit","update","cancel"}' />
    <e-columns>
        <e-column field="OrderID" is-primary-key="true" header-text="Order ID" width="90"></e-column>
        <e-column field="CustomerID" header-text="Customer ID" width="90"></e-column>
        <e-column field="EmployeeID" header-text="Employee ID" width="80" edit-type="DropdownEdit"></e-column>
        <e-column field="Freight" header-text="Freight" width="80" format="{0:C}"></e-column>        
    </e-columns>
</ej-grid>
 

 

C#

 public class GridController : Controller
     {
        public ActionResult GridFeatures()
           {
              var DataSource = new NorthwindDataContext().OrdersViews.ToList();
              ViewBag.DataSource = DataSource;
              return View();
            }
     }

 

 

Angular

[html]
<ej-grid #grid [dataSource]="gridData" allowPaging="true" (cellEdit)="oncelledit($event)" [toolbarSettings]="toolbarItems" [editSettings]="editSettings">
    <e-columns>
        <e-column field="OrderID" [isPrimaryKey]="true" headerText="Order ID" width="90"></e-column>
        <e-column field="CustomerID" headerText="Customer ID" width="90"></e-column>
        <e-column field="EmployeeID" headerText="Employee ID" editType="dropdownedit" width="80"></e-column>
        <e-column field="Freight" headerText="Freight " format="{0:C}" width="90"></e-column> 
</e-columns>
</ej-grid>
 

 

 [ts file]
 let flag = true; 
  export class GridComponent {
    @ViewChild('grid') GridModel: EJComponents<any, any>;
         public gridData: any;
         oncelledit(e: any){ 
 var obj = $(".e-grid").ejGrid("instance") 
  if (flag) {
                e.cancel = true;
             if ($.inArray(e.rowData, obj.batchChanges.changed) == -1 && $.inArray(e.rowData, obj.batchChanges.added) == -1)
                 obj.batchChanges.changed.push(e.rowData);
                 var batchData = obj.getBatchChanges();
            if (batchData.changed.length > 0 && !$(e.cell).closest("tr").hasClass("e-insertedrow")) {
                         flag = false;
                         obj.batchSave();
             }
             else
                    flag = false;
            }
           else
                 flag = true;
      }
      
 constructor() {
                     // the datasource "window.gridData" is referred from 'http://js.syncfusion.com/demos/web/scripts/jsondata.min.js'   
        this.gridData = (window as any). gridData;
        this.editSettings = { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true,editMode : "batch" };
        this.toolbarItems = { showToolbar: true, toolbarItems: ["add", "edit", "delete", "update", "cancel"] };
  }           
       }

 

In the cellEdit event, we can get the batch changes(i.e. changes made on the each cell) by using “getBatchChanges” method and finally save the each cell records in the “batchSave” method.

JS

<script type="text/javascript">
    var flag = true;
    function cellEdit(args) {
        if (flag) {
            args.cancel = true;
            if ($.inArray(args.rowData, this.batchChanges.changed) == -1)
                this.batchChanges.changed.push(args.rowData);
            var batchData = this.getBatchChanges();
            if (batchData.changed.length > 0 && !$(args.cell).closest("tr").hasClass("e-insertedrow")) {
                flag = false;
                this.batchSave();
            }
            else
                flag = false;
        }
        else
            flag = true;
    }
