Integration in EJ2 TypeScript In place editor control

19 Apr 20233 minutes to read

The In-place Editor supports adding HTML5 input controls using the template property. The Template property can be given as either a string or a query selector.

As a string

The HTML element tag can be given as a string for the template property. Here, the input is rendered as an HTML template.

template: "<div><input type='text' id='name'></input></div>"

As a selector

The template property also allows getting template content through query selector. Here, the input wrapper element ‘ID’ attribute is specified in the template.

template: "#date"

Template mode, the value property not handled by the In-place Editor control. So, before sending a value to the server, you need to modify at actionBegin event, otherwise, an empty string will pass. In the following template sample, before submitting a data to the server, event argument and value property content updated in the actionBegin event handler.

import { InPlaceEditor, ActionBeginEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-inplace-editor';

let editObj: InPlaceEditor = new InPlaceEditor({
    mode: 'Inline',
    template: '#date',
    value: '2018-05-23',
    actionBegin: function(e: ActionBeginEventArgs): void {
        let value: string = (<HTMLInputElement>editObj.element.querySelector('#date')).value;
        editObj.value = value;
        e.value = value;
    }
});
editObj.appendTo('#element');
