Immutable Mode

21 Dec 20221 minute to read

The immutable mode optimizes the Tree Grid re-rendering performance by using the object reference and deep compare concept. When performing the Tree Grid actions, it will only re-render the modified or newly added rows and prevent the re-rendering of the unchanged rows.

To enable this feature, you have to set the EnableImmutableMode property as true.

NOTE

  • This feature uses the primary key value for data comparison. So, you need to provide the IsPrimaryKey column.
@Html.EJS().TreeGrid("Pager").AllowPaging().DataSource((IEnumerable<object>)ViewBag.DataSource).EnableImmutableMode(true).Columns(col =>
{
   col.Field("TaskId").HeaderText("Task ID").Width(70).IsPrimaryKey(true).TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Add();
   col.Field("TaskName").HeaderText("Task Name").Width(160).Add();
   col.Field("StartDate").HeaderText("Start Date").Format("yMd").TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Width(90).Add();
   col.Field("Duration").HeaderText("Duration").Width(80).TextAlign(Syncfusion.EJ2.Grids.TextAlign.Right).Add();

}).ChildMapping("Children").TreeColumnIndex(1).PageSettings(page => page.PageSizes(true).PageCount(2)).Render()
public ActionResult Index()
{
    var treeData = TreeGridItems.GetTreeData();
    ViewBag.datasource = treeData;
    return View();    
}

Limitations

The following features are not supported in the immutable mode:

  • Frozen rows and columns
  • Row Template
  • Detail Template
  • Column reorder
  • Virtualization
