Grid Layout
In this section, we will discuss about rendering of list items in grid layout.
-
Initialize and render ListView with dataSource which will render list items in list layout.
-
Now, add the below CSS to list item. This will make list items to render in grid layout
#element .e-list-item {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
float: left;
}In the below sample, we have rendered List items in grid layout.
@using Syncfusion.EJ2
@using Syncfusion.EJ2.Lists;
@{
var template = "<img id='listImage' src='./apple.png' alt='apple' />";
}
<!-- ListView element -->
@Html.EJS().ListView("element").DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.dataSource).Template(template).Render()
<style>
#element {
display: block;
max-width: 303px;
margin: auto;
border: 1px solid #dddddd;
border-radius: 3px;
}
#element .e-list-item {
height: 100px;
width: 100px;
float: left;
padding: 0;
}
#listImage {
width: 55px;
height: 55px;
margin-left: 20px;
margin-top: 20px;
}
</style>using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc;
namespace WebApplication1.Controllers
{
public class ListViewController : Controller
{
public IActionResult list()
{
string[] listdata = { "1","2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9" };
ViewBag.dataSource = listdata;
return View();
}
}
}Data manipulation
In this section, we will discuss about ListView data manipulations.
Add Item
We can add list item using addItem API. This will accept array of data as argument.
listViewInstance.addItem([{text: 'Apricot', id: '32'}]);In the below sample, you can add new fruit item by clicking add button which will open dialog box with fruit name and image URL text box. After entering the item details, click the add button. This will add your new fruit item.
Remove item
We can remove list item using removeItem API. This will accept fields with id or list item element as argument.
listViewInstance.removeItem({id: '32'});In the below sample, you can remove fruit by hovering the fruit item which will show delete button and click that delete button to delete that fruit from your list.
Sort Items
Listview can be sorted either in Ascending or Descending order. To enable sorting in your ListView, set sortOrder as Ascending or Descending.
@Html.EJS().ListView("element").SortOrder(SortOrder.Ascending).Render()We can also set sorting after component initialization.
listViewInstance.sortOrder = 'Ascending'In the below sample, we have sorted fruits in Ascending order. To sort it in descending, click on sort order icon and vice versa.
