Adaptive in Angular Grid component

28 Mar 202316 minutes to read

The Grid user interface (UI) was redesigned to provide an optimal viewing experience and improve usability on small screens. This interface will render the filter, sort, and edit dialogs adaptively and have an option to render the grid row elements in the vertical direction.

Render adaptive dialogs

When we enable the enableAdaptiveUI property, the grid will render the filter, sort, and edit dialogs in full screen for a better user experience. This behavior is demonstrated in the below demo.

import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { GridComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';
import { data } from './datasource';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<div class="e-adaptive-demo e-bigger">
                    <div class="e-mobile-layout">
                        <div class="e-mobile-content">
                           <ejs-grid #adaptive id="adaptivebrowser" [dataSource]='data' enableAdaptiveUI='true'
                    height='100%' allowPaging='true' allowFiltering='true'
                    allowSorting='true' [editSettings]='editSettings'
                    [filterSettings]='filterSettings' [toolbar]='toolbar' (load)='onLoad($event)'>
                    <e-columns>
                        <e-column field='SNO' headerText='S NO' width='150' isPrimaryKey='true' [validationRules]='orderidrules'>
                        </e-column>
                        <e-column field='Model' headerText='Model' width='200' editType='dropdownedit'
                            [validationRules]='customeridrules'>
                        </e-column>
                        <e-column field='Developer' headerText='Developer' width='200' [validationRules]='customeridrules' [filter]='menuFilter'></e-column>
                        <e-column field='ReleaseDate' headerText='Released Date' width='200' type='date' format='yMMM' editType='datepickeredit'>
                        <e-column field='AndroidVersion' headerText='Android Version' width='200' [validationRules]='customeridrules' [filter]='checkboxFilter'></e-column>
                        </e-column>
                    </e-columns>
                </ejs-grid>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                    <br />
                    <div class="datalink">Source:

    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.data = data;
        this.editSettings = { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true, mode: 'Dialog' };

Vertical row rendering

The grid will render the row elements in vertical order while setting the rowRenderingMode property value as Vertical.

enableAdaptiveUI property must be enabled for vertical row rendering.

Supported features by vertical row rendering

The following features are only supported in vertical row rendering:

  • Paging
  • Sorting
