Adaptive in EJ2 TypeScript Grid control

13 Apr 202312 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.

index.ts
index.html
import { Grid, Filter, Sort, Edit, Toolbar, Page } from '@syncfusion/ej2-grids';
import { Browser } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { data } from './datasource.ts';

Grid.Inject(Filter, Sort, Edit, Toolbar, Page);

let grid: Grid = new Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    enableAdaptiveUI: true,
    allowPaging: true,
    allowSorting: true,
    allowFiltering: true,
    filterSettings: { type: 'Excel' },
    toolbar: ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel', 'Search'],
    editSettings: { allowAdding: true, allowEditing: true, allowDeleting: true, mode: 'Dialog' },
    height: '100%',
    load: () => {
        grid.adaptiveDlgTarget = document.getElementsByClassName('e-mobile-content')[0] as HTMLElement;
    },
    columns: [
        { field: 'SNO', headerText: 'S NO', isPrimaryKey: true, width: 150, validationRules: { required: true, number: true } },
        { field: 'Model', headerText: 'Model Name', width: 200, editType: "dropdownedit", validationRules: { required: true } },
        { field: 'Developer', headerText: 'Developer', filter: { type : 'Menu' }, width: 200, validationRules: { required: true } },
        { field: 'ReleaseDate', headerText: 'Released Date', type: 'date', editType: "datepickeredit", format: 'yMMM', width: 200 },
        { field: 'AndroidVersion', headerText: 'Android Version', filter: { type : 'CheckBox' }, width: 200, validationRules: { required: true } }
    ]
});
grid.appendTo('#adaptivebrowser');

Vertical row rendering

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

index.ts
index.html
import { Grid, Filter, Sort, Edit, Toolbar, Aggregate, Page } from '@syncfusion/ej2-grids';
import { Browser } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { data } from './datasource.ts';

Grid.Inject(Filter, Sort, Edit, Toolbar, Aggregate, Page);

let grid: Grid = new Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    enableAdaptiveUI: true,
    rowRenderingMode: 'Vertical',
    allowPaging: true,
    allowSorting: true,
    allowFiltering: true,
    filterSettings: { type: 'Excel' },
    toolbar: ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel', 'Search'],
    editSettings: { allowAdding: true, allowEditing: true, allowDeleting: true, mode: 'Dialog' },
    height: '100%',
    load: () => {
        grid.adaptiveDlgTarget = document.getElementsByClassName('e-mobile-content')[0] as HTMLElement;
    },
    columns: [
        { field: 'SNO', headerText: 'S NO', isPrimaryKey: true, width: 150, validationRules: { required: true, number: true } },
        { field: 'Model', headerText: 'Model Name', width: 200, editType: "dropdownedit", validationRules: { required: true } },
        { field: 'Developer', headerText: 'Developer', filter: { type : 'Menu' }, width: 200, validationRules: { required: true } },
        { field: 'ReleaseDate', headerText: 'Released Date', type: 'date', editType: "datepickeredit", format: 'yMMM', width: 200 },
        { field: 'AndroidVersion', headerText: 'Android Version', filter: { type : 'CheckBox' }, width: 200, validationRules: { required: true } }
    ],
    aggregates: [{
        columns: [{
            type: 'Count',
            field: 'Model',
            footerTemplate: 'Total Models: ${Count}'
        }]
