Row in EJ2 JavaScript Grid control

The row represents record details fetched from data source.

Row customization

Using event

You can customize the appearance of a row by using the rowDataBound event. The rowDataBound event triggers for every row. In the event handler, you can get the
RowDataBoundEventArgs that contains details of the row.

var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    enableHover: false,
    allowSelection: false,
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 100 },
        { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 120 },
        { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'Ship City', width: 100 },
        { field: 'Freight', headerText: 'Freight', width: 100, format: 'C2' },
        { field: 'ShipName', headerText: 'Ship Name', width: 100 }
    ],
    rowDataBound: rowBound,
    height: 280
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');

function rowBound(args) {
    if (args.data['Freight'] < 30) {
        args.row.classList.add('below-30');
    } else if (args.data['Freight'] < 80) {
        args.row.classList.add('below-80');
    } else {
        args.row.classList.add('above-80');
    }
}

Using CSS customize alternate rows

You can change the grid’s alternative rows’ background color by overriding the .e-altrow class.

.e-grid .e-altrow {
    background-color: #fafafa;
}

Please refer to the following example.

var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data.slice(0, 8),
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120, type: 'number' },
        { field: 'CustomerID', width: 140, headerText: 'Customer ID', type: 'string' },
        { field: 'Freight', headerText: 'Freight', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120, format: 'C' },
        { field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Order Date', width: 140, format: 'yMd' }
    ]
});

grid.appendTo('#Grid');

Using CSS customize selected row

The background color of the selected row can be changed by overriding the following CSS style.

.e-grid td.e-active {
    background-color: #f9920b;
}

This is demonstrated in the following sample:

var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data.slice(0, 8),
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120, type: 'number' },
        { field: 'CustomerID', width: 140, headerText: 'Customer ID', type: 'string' },
        { field: 'Freight', headerText: 'Freight', textAlign: 'Right', width: 120, format: 'C' },
        { field: 'OrderDate', headerText: 'Order Date', width: 140, format: 'yMd' }
    ]
});

grid.appendTo('#Grid');

Adding a new row programmatically

The Grid can add a new row between the existing rows using the addRecord method of the Grid.

This is demonstrated in the following sample:

var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true },
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 100 },
        { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 120 },
        { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'Ship City', width: 100 },
        { field: 'Freight', headerText: 'Freight', width: 100, format: 'C2' },
        { field: 'ShipName', headerText: 'Ship Name', width: 100 }
    ]
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');

document.getElementById('addrow').onclick = function () {
    grid.addRecord(
        { OrderID: 3232, CustomerID: 'ALKIT', ShipCity: 'London', Freight: 40, ShipName: 'Que Delícia'}, 2);
};

When working with remote data, it is impossible to add a new row between the existing rows.

How to get the row information when hovering over the cell

It is possible to get the row information when hovering over the specific cell. This can be achieved by using the rowDataBound event and getRowInfo method of the Grid.

In the following sample, the mouseover event is bound to a grid row in the rowDataBound event, and when hovering over the specific cell, using the getRowInfo method, row information will be retrieved and displayed in the console.

var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    rowDataBound: rowDataBound,
    editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true },
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 100 },
        { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 120 },
        { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'Ship City', width: 100 },
        { field: 'Freight', headerText: 'Freight', width: 100, format: 'C2' },
        { field: 'ShipName', headerText: 'Ship Name', width: 100 }
    ]
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');

function rowDataBound(args) {
    args.row.addEventListener('mouseover', function(e) {
        console.log(grid.getRowInfo(e.target))
    })
}
