CustomAdaptor in Syncfusion Angular Grid

1 Mar 202524 minutes to read

The CustomAdaptor in the Syncfusion Angular Grid allows to create their own custom adaptors by extending the built-in adaptors. The custom adaptor involves handling the query process, requests, and responses of the built-in adaptor. The CustomAdaptor can be used to extend OData V4 services, enabling efficient data fetching and manipulation. By default, there are three built-in methods available for CustomAdaptor.

Types of CustomAdaptor methods

There are three types of methods in custom adaptors.

ProcessQuery

The ProcessQuery method handles the execution of a query sent to a dataSource, such as a database or custom data service. This query is responsible for performing operations like data retrieval, insertion, updating, or deletion. The ProcessQuery method accepts two arguments:

DataManager: Used to modify the URL dynamically.
Query: Allows setting additional parameter values or modifying queries such as sorting, filtering, and grouping, etc.

DataManager

Query

public override processQuery(dm: DataManager, query: Query): Object {
    dm.dataSource.url = 'https://localhost:xxxx/odata/orders'; //Change the url.
    query.addParams('Syncfusion in Angular Grid', 'true'); // Add the additional parameter.
    return super.processQuery.apply(this, arguments as any);
}

beforeSend

The beforeSend method is executed before a request is sent to the server. This function allows modifying parameters, request headers, and data, or performing validation before the request is processed. It accepts three arguments:

DataManager: Provides the dataSource and adaptor value.
Request: Used to send custom headers, such as setting the Authorization header.
Settings: An optional argument that allows additional configurations.

Settings

public override beforeSend(dm: DataManager, request: Request, settings?: any) {
  request.headers.set('Authorization', `true`);
  super.beforeSend(dm, request, settings);
}

processResponse

The processResponse method handles the response received from the server after an asynchronous request. It is responsible for parsing the response data, managing errors, and preparing the data for further processing. This method can accept multiple optional arguments, allowing customization based on specific requirements.

public override processResponse() {
   let i = 0;
    const original: any = super.processResponse.apply(this, arguments as any);
    // Adding serial number.
    if (original.result) {
      original.result.forEach((item: any) => setValue('SNo', ++i, item));
    }
    return original;
}

This guide provides detailed instructions on binding data and performing CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) actions using the CustomAdaptor by extending the ODataV4Adaptor in your Syncfusion Angular Grid.

Creating an Custom service

To configure a server with Syncfusion Angular Grid, you need to follow the below steps:

1. Project Creation:

Open Visual Studio and create an Angular and ASP.NET Core project named CustomAdaptor. To create an Angular and ASP.NET Core application, follow the documentation link for detailed steps.

2. Install NuGet Packages

Using the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio (Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution), install the Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData NuGet package.

3. Model Class Creation:

Create a model class named OrdersDetails.cs in the server-side Models folder to represent the order data.

OrdersDetails.cs
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;

namespace ODataV4Adaptor.Server.Models
{
    public class OrdersDetails
    {
        public static List<OrdersDetails> order = new List<OrdersDetails>();
        public OrdersDetails()
        {

        }
        public OrdersDetails(
        int OrderID, string CustomerId, int EmployeeID, string ShipCountry)
        {
            this.OrderID = OrderID;
            this.CustomerID = CustomerId;
            this.EmployeeID = EmployeeID;
            this.ShipCountry = ShipCountry;
        }   

        public static List<OrdersDetails> GetAllRecords()
        {
            if (order.Count() == 0)
            {
                int code = 10000;
                for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++)
                {
                    order.Add(new OrdersDetails(code + 1, "ALFKI", i + 0, "Denmark"));
                    order.Add(new OrdersDetails(code + 2, "ANATR", i + 2, "Brazil"));
                    order.Add(new OrdersDetails(code + 3, "ANTON", i + 1, "Germany"));
                    order.Add(new OrdersDetails(code + 4, "BLONP", i + 3, "Austria"));
                    order.Add(new OrdersDetails(code + 5, "BOLID", i + 4, "Switzerland"));
                    code += 5;
                }
            }
            return order;
        }
        [Key]
        public int? OrderID { get; set; }
        public string? CustomerID { get; set; }
        public int? EmployeeID { get; set; }
        public string? ShipCountry { get; set; }
    }
}

4. Build the Entity Data Model

To construct the Entity Data Model for your OData service, utilize the ODataConventionModelBuilder to define the model’s structure. Start by creating an instance of the ODataConventionModelBuilder, then register the entity set Orders using the EntitySet<T> method, where OrdersDetails represents the CLR type containing order details.

// Create an ODataConventionModelBuilder to build the OData model.
var modelBuilder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();

// Register the "Orders" entity set with the OData model builder.
modelBuilder.EntitySet<OrdersDetails>("Orders");

5. Register the OData Services

Once the Entity Data Model is built, you need to register the OData services in your ASP.NET Core application. Here’s how:

// Add controllers with OData support to the service collection.
builder.Services.AddControllers().AddOData(
    options => options
        .Count()
        .AddRouteComponents("odata", modelBuilder.GetEdmModel()));

6. Add controllers

Finally, add controllers to expose the OData endpoints. Here’s an example:

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.OData.Query;
using ODataV4Adaptor.Server.Models;

namespace ODataV4Adaptor.Server.Controllers
{
    [Route("[controller]")]
    [ApiController]
    public class OrdersController : ControllerBase
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// Retrieves all orders.
        /// </summary>
        /// <returns>The collection of orders.</returns>
        [HttpGet]
        [EnableQuery]
        public IActionResult Get()
        {
            var data = OrdersDetails.GetAllRecords().AsQueryable();
            return Ok(data);
        }
    }
}

7. Run the Application:

Run the application in Visual Studio. It will be accessible on a URL like https://localhost:xxxx.

After running the application, you can verify that the server-side API controller is successfully returning the order data in the URL(https://localhost:xxxx/odata/Orders). Here xxxx denotes the port number.

Connecting Syncfusion Angular Grid to an Custom service extending the ODataV4 service

To integrate the Syncfusion Grid into your Angular and ASP.NET Core project using Visual Studio, follow the below steps:

Step 1: Install Syncfusion Package

Open your terminal in the project’s client folder and install the required Syncfusion packages using npm:

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids --save
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-data --save

Step 2: Import Grid Module

In the app.module.ts file, import the GridModule from the @syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids package:

app.module.ts
import { GridModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    // Other imports...
    GridModule,
  ],
})
export class AppModule { }

Step 3: Adding CSS reference

Include the necessary CSS files in your styles.css file to style the Syncfusion Angular Grid:

styles.css
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-calendars/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids/styles/material.css';

Step 4: Adding Custom Adaptor

Create a component file (e.g., CustomAdaptor.ts). Then, import DataManager and ODataV4Adaptor from @syncfusion/ej2-data. Extend the ODataV4Adaptor class to define custom adaptor. This adaptor implements three key methods: processQuery, beforeSend, and processResponse.

The processQuery method modifies the API endpoint URL and sets additional parameters required for executing the query.
The beforeSend method adds custom headers, such as the Authorization header, before sending the request.
The processResponse method customizes the response by modifying data, such as adding a new field (SNo) to the dataset.

CustomAdaptor.ts
import {DataManager, ODataV4Adaptor, Query} from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
import { setValue } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
export class SerialNoAdaptor extends ODataV4Adaptor {
    public override processQuery(dm: any, query: any): Object {
    dm.dataSource.url = 'https://localhost:xxxx/odata/orders'; //Change the url.
    query.addParams('Syncfusion in Angular Grid', 'true'); // Add the additional parameter.
    return super.processQuery.apply(this, arguments as any);
  }
   public override beforeSend(dm: any, request: any, settings: any): void {
     request.headers.set('Authorization', `true`);
     super.beforeSend(dm, request, settings);
   }
  public override processResponse() {
    let i = 0;
    const original: any = super.processResponse.apply(this, arguments as any);
    // Adding serial number.
    if (original.result) {
      original.result.forEach((item: any) => setValue('SNo', ++i, item));
    }
    return original;
  }
}

Step 5: Adding Syncfusion Component

In your component file (e.g., app.component.ts), import DataManager from @syncfusion/ej2-data and CustomAdaptor from ./customadaptor file. Create a DataManager instance specifying the URL of your API endpoint(https:localhost:xxxx/odata/Orders) using the url property. Then, set CustomAdaptor as the adaptor to handle data requests.

app.component.ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { DataManager } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
import { CustomAdaptor } from './customadaptor';
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: 'app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {
  public data: DataManager;
  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.data = new DataManager({
      url: 'https://localhost:xxxx/odata/Orders',
      adaptor: new CustomAdaptor(),
      crossDomain: true,
    });
  }
}

Replace https://localhost:xxxx/odata/Orders with the actual URL of your API endpoint that provides the data in a consumable format (e.g., JSON).

Run the application in Visual Studio. It will be accessible on a URL like https://localhost:xxxx.

Ensure your API service is configured to handle CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) if necessary.

  [program.cs]
  builder.Services.AddCors(options =>
  {
    options.AddDefaultPolicy(builder =>
    {
      builder.AllowAnyOrigin().AllowAnyMethod().AllowAnyHeader();
    });
  });
  var app = builder.Build();
  app.UseCors();

Handling filtering operation

To enable filtering in your web application using the custom adaptor, extend the OData support in your service configuration. This involves adding the Filter method within the OData setup, allowing data to be filtered based on specified criteria. Once configured, clients can use the $filter query option in requests to retrieve specific data entries.

Program.cs
app.component.html
app.component.ts
app.module.ts
// Create a new instance of the web application builder.
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Create an ODataConventionModelBuilder to build the OData model.
var modelBuilder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();

// Register the "Orders" entity set with the OData model builder.
modelBuilder.EntitySet<OrdersDetails>("Orders");

// Add services to the container.

// Add controllers with OData support to the service collection.
builder.Services.AddControllers().AddOData(
    options => options
        .Count()
        .Filter() // Use Filter method for filtering.
        .AddRouteComponents("odata", modelBuilder.GetEdmModel()));
<div class="control-section">
    <ejs-grid #grid [dataSource]='data' allowFiltering='true'>
        <e-columns>
            <e-column field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' width='120' textAlign='Right' isPrimaryKey='true'></e-column>
            <e-column field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width='160'></e-column>
            <e-column field='EmployeeID' headerText='Employee ID' width='120' textAlign='Right'></e-column>
            <e-column field='ShipCountry' headerText='Ship Country' width='150' ></e-column>
        </e-columns>
    </ejs-grid>
</div>
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { DataManager } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
import { FilterService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids'
import { CustomAdaptor } from './customadaptor';
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: 'app.component.html',
  providers: [FilterService],
})
export class AppComponent {
  public data: DataManager;
  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.data = new DataManager({
      url: 'https://localhost:xxxx/odata/Orders',
      adaptor: new CustomAdaptor(),
      crossDomain: true,
    });
  }
}
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { FilterService, GridModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule, HttpClientModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    GridModule
  ],
  providers: [FilterService],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Handling searching operation

To enable search functionality in your web application using the custom adaptor, extend the OData support in your service configuration. This requires adding the Filter method within the OData setup, allowing data to be filtered based on specified criteria. Once configured, clients can use the $filter query option in their requests to search for specific data entries.

program.cs
app.component.html
app.component.ts
app.module.ts
// Create a new instance of the web application builder.
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Create an ODataConventionModelBuilder to build the OData model.
var modelBuilder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();

// Register the "Orders" entity set with the OData model builder.
modelBuilder.EntitySet<OrdersDetails>("Orders");

// Add services to the container.

// Add controllers with OData support to the service collection.
builder.Services.AddControllers().AddOData(
    options => options
        .Count()
        .Filter() // Use Filter method for searching.
        .AddRouteComponents("odata", modelBuilder.GetEdmModel()));

})
export class AppModule { }

Searching query

Handling sorting operation

To enable sorting operations in your web application using the custom adaptor, first configure the custom adaptor to extend OData support in your service collection. This involves adding the OrderBy method within the OData setup, allowing data to be sorted based on specified criteria. Once enabled, clients can use the $orderby query option in their requests to sort data entries by desired attributes.

program.cs
app.component.html
app.component.ts
app.module.ts
// Create a new instance of the web application builder. 
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Create an ODataConventionModelBuilder to build the OData model.
var modelBuilder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();

// Register the "Orders" entity set with the OData model builder.
modelBuilder.EntitySet<OrdersDetails>("Orders");

// Add services to the container.

// Add controllers with OData support to the service collection.
builder.Services.AddControllers().AddOData(
    options => options
        .Count()
        .OrderBy() // Use this method for sorting.
        .AddRouteComponents("odata", modelBuilder.GetEdmModel()));
<div class="control-section">
    <ejs-grid #grid [dataSource]='data' [allowSorting]='true'>
        <e-columns>

            <e-column field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width='160'></e-column>
            <e-column field='EmployeeID' headerText='Employee ID' width='120' textAlign='Right'></e-column>
            <e-column field='ShipCountry' headerText='Ship Country' width='150' ></e-column>
        </e-columns>
    </ejs-grid>
</div>

import { CustomAdaptor } from './customadaptor';
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: 'app.component.html',
  providers: [SortService],
})
export class AppComponent {
  public data: DataManager;
  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.data = new DataManager({
      url: 'https://localhost:xxxx/odata/Orders',
      adaptor: new CustomAdaptor(),
      crossDomain: true,
    });

Handling paging operation

To implement paging in your web application using the CustomAdaptor with OData, use the SetMaxTop method in your OData setup to define the maximum number of records returned per request. Once configured, clients can utilize the $skip and $top query options to specify the number of records to skip and retrieve, respectively.

Program.cs
app.component.html
app.component.ts
app.module.ts
// Create a new instance of the web application builder.
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

// Create an ODataConventionModelBuilder to build the OData model.
var modelBuilder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();

// Register the "Orders" entity set with the OData model builder.
modelBuilder.EntitySet<OrdersDetails>("Orders");

// Add services to the container.

// Add controllers with OData support to the service collection.
builder.Services.AddControllers().AddOData(
    options => options
        .Count()
        .SetMaxTop(null)
        .AddRouteComponents("odata", modelBuilder.GetEdmModel()));

Handling CRUD operations

To manage CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations using CustomAdaptor, follow the provided guide for configuring the Syncfusion Angular Grid for editing and utilize the sample implementation of the OrdersController in your server application. This controller processes HTTP requests for CRUD operations, including GET, POST, PATCH, and DELETE.

To enable CRUD operations in the Syncfusion Grid within an Angular application, follow the below steps:

app.component.html
app.component.ts
app.module.ts
<div class="control-section">
    <ejs-grid #grid [dataSource]='data' [editSettings]='editSettings' [toolbar]='toolbar'>
        <e-columns>
            <e-column field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' width='140' textAlign='Right' isPrimaryKey='true' [validationRules]='orderidrules'></e-column>
            <e-column field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width='140' [validationRules]='customeridrules'></e-column>
            <e-column field='EmployeeID' headerText='Employee ID' width='120' textAlign='Right'></e-column>
            <e-column field='ShipCountry' headerText='Ship Country' width='150' ></e-column>
        </e-columns>
    </ejs-grid>
</div>
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { DataManager } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
import { EditService, ToolbarService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids'
import { CustomAdaptor } from './customadaptor';
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: 'app.component.html',
  providers: [EditService, ToolbarService],
})
export class AppComponent {
  public data: DataManager;
  public editSettings: Object;
  public toolbar: string[];
  public orderidrules: Object;
  public customeridrules: Object;
  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.data = new DataManager({
      url: 'https://localhost:xxxx/odata/Orders',
      adaptor: new CustomAdaptor(),
      crossDomain: true,
    });
    this.editSettings = { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true };
    this.toolbar = ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'];
    this.orderidrules = { required: true};
    this.customeridrules = { required: true, minLength: 3 };
  }
}
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { EditService, GridModule, ToolbarService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule, HttpClientModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    GridModule
  ],
  providers: [EditService, ToolbarService],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

Normal/Inline editing is the default edit mode for the Syncfusion Grid. To enable CRUD operations, ensure that the isPrimaryKey property is set to true for a specific Grid column, ensuring that its value is unique.

Insert Record

To insert a new record into your Syncfusion Grid, you can utilize the HttpPost method in your server application. Below is a sample implementation of inserting a record using the OrdersController:

/// <summary>
/// Inserts a new order to the collection.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="addRecord">The order to be inserted.</param>
/// <returns>It returns the newly inserted record detail.</returns>
[HttpPost]
[EnableQuery]
public IActionResult Post([FromBody] OrdersDetails addRecord)
{
    if (order == null)
    {
        return BadRequest("Null order");
    }

    OrdersDetails.GetAllRecords().Insert(0, addRecord);
    return Ok(addRecord);
}

Update Record

Updating a record in the Syncfusion Grid can be achieved by utilizing the HttpPatch method in your controller. Here’s a sample implementation of updating a record:

/// <summary>
/// Updates an existing order.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="key">The ID of the order to update.</param>
/// <param name="updateRecord">The updated order details.</param>
/// <returns>It returns the updated order details.</returns>
[HttpPatch("{key}")]
public IActionResult Patch(int key, [FromBody] OrdersDetails updatedOrder)
{
    if (updatedOrder == null)
    {
        return BadRequest("No records");
    }
    var existingOrder = OrdersDetails.GetAllRecords().FirstOrDefault(o => o.OrderID == key);
    if (existingOrder != null)
    {
        // If the order exists, update its properties.
        existingOrder.CustomerID = updatedOrder.CustomerID ?? existingOrder.CustomerID;
        existingOrder.EmployeeID = updatedOrder.EmployeeID ?? existingOrder.EmployeeID;
        existingOrder.ShipCountry = updatedOrder.ShipCountry ?? existingOrder.ShipCountry;
    }
    return Ok(existingOrder);
}

To delete a record from your Syncfusion Grid, you can utilize the HttpDelete method in your controller. Below is a sample implementation:

/// <summary>
/// Deletes an order.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="key">The key of the order to be deleted.</param>
/// <returns>The deleted order.</returns>
[HttpDelete("{key}")]
public IActionResult Delete(int key)
{
    var order = OrdersDetails.GetAllRecords().FirstOrDefault(o => o.OrderID == key);
    if (order != null)
    {
        OrdersDetails.GetAllRecords().Remove(order);
    }
    return Ok(order);
}
