Tool bar items in EJ2 JavaScript Grid control

10 Jul 202524 minutes to read

The Syncfusion® EJ2 JavaScript Grid offers a flexible toolbar that enables the addition of custom toolbar items or modification of existing ones. This customizable toolbar is positioned above the grid, providing a convenient way to access various actions and functionalities

Built-in toolbar items

Built-in toolbar items in the Syncfusion® EJ2 JavaScript Grid control involves utilizing pre-defined actions to perform standard operations within the Grid.

These items can be added by defining the toolbar property as a collection of built-in items. Each item is rendered as a button with an icon and text. The following table lists the built-in toolbar items and their respective actions.

Built-in Toolbar Items Actions
Add Adds a new row to the Grid.
Edit Enables editing mode for the selected row in the Grid.
Update Saves the changes made during the editing mode.
Delete Deletes the selected record from the Grid.
Cancel Discards the changes made during the editing mode.
Search Displays a search box to filter the Grid records.
Print Print the Grid content.
ColumnChooser Choose the column’s visibility.
PdfExport Exports the Grid data to a PDF file.
ExcelExport Exports the Grid data to an Excel file.
CsvExport Exports the Grid data to a CSV file.

The following example demonstrates how to enable built-in toolbar items such as Print and Search in the grid.

ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Toolbar);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    toolbar: ['Print', 'Search'],
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 90 },
        { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 100 },
        { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'ShipCity', width: 100 },
        { field: 'ShipName', headerText: 'ShipName', width: 120 }
    ],
    height: 270
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');

The toolbar has options to define both built-in and custom toolbar items.

Show only icons in built-in toolbar items

Showing only icons in the built-in toolbar items of the Grid involves customizing the appearance of the toolbar to display icons without text.

To display only icons in the built-in toolbar items of the Grid, you can use CSS to hide the text portion of the buttons using the following CSS style.

.e-grid .e-toolbar .e-tbar-btn-text, 
.e-grid .e-toolbar .e-toolbar-items .e-toolbar-item .e-tbar-btn-text {
    display: none;   
}

This is demonstrated in the following sample:

ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Toolbar);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true },
    toolbar: ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'],
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 90, isPrimaryKey:true },
        { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 100 },
        { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'ShipCity', width: 100 },
        { field: 'ShipName', headerText: 'ShipName', width: 120 }
    ],
    height: 270
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');

Customize the built-in toolbar items

The Syncfusion® EJ2 JavaScript Grid component allows you to customize the built-in toolbar items to meet your specific requirements. This can include adding, removing, or modifying toolbar items, as well as handling custom actions when toolbar buttons are clicked.

To customize the built-in toolbar items, you can use the toolbarClick event of the grid.

The following example demonstrate how to customize the toolbar by disabling and canceling the Add button functionlity and showing a custom message when the Add button of toolbar is clicked.

ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Toolbar,ej.grids.Edit);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    toolbarClick:clickHandler,
    editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true },
    toolbar: ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'],
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 90, isPrimaryKey:true },
        { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 100 },
        { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'ShipCity', width: 100 },
        { field: 'ShipName', headerText: 'ShipName', width: 120 }
    ],
    height: 270
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');

let message = document.getElementById('message');

function clickHandler(args)
{
    if (args.item.id === 'Grid_add') { // 'Grid_add' -> Grid component id + _ + toolbar item name
        args.cancel = true;
        const newRecord = {
            OrderID: 10247,
            CustomerID: 'TOMSP',
            ShipName: 'Hanari Carnes',
            ShipCity: 'Lyon',
        };
        grid.addRecord(newRecord);
        message.textContent= 'The default adding action is cancelled, and a new record is added using the addRecord method.';
    }
    else
    message.textContent = ''
}

Custom toolbar items

Adding custom toolbar items to the Syncfusion® EJ2 JavaScript Grid involves incorporating personalized functionality into the toolbar.

Custom toolbar items can be added to the Grid control by defining the toolbar property as a collection of ItemModel objects. These objects define the custom items and their corresponding actions. The actions for the customized toolbar items are defined in the toolbarClick event.

By default, custom toolbar items are positioned on the left side of the toolbar. However, you can change the position by using the align property of the ItemModel. The following example demonstrates how to apply the align property with the value Right for the Collapse All toolbar item.

var clickHandler = function(args){
    if (args.item.id === 'expandall') {
        grid.groupModule.expandAll();
    }
    if (args.item.id === "collapseall") {
        grid.groupModule.collapseAll();
    }
};
ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Toolbar, ej.grids.Group);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    allowGrouping: true,
    groupSettings: { columns: ['CustomerID'] },
    toolbar: [{ text: 'Expand All', tooltipText: 'Expand All', prefixIcon: 'e-expand', id: 'expandall' },
    { text: 'Collapse All', tooltipText: 'collection All', prefixIcon: 'e-collapse-2', id: 'collapseall', align: 'Right' }],
    toolbarClick: clickHandler,
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 90 },
        { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 100 },
        { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'ShipCity', width: 100 },
        { field: 'ShipName', headerText: 'ShipName', width: 120 }
    ],
    height: 200,
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');

  • The toolbar has options to define both built-in and custom toolbar items.
  • If a toolbar item does not match with built-in items, it will be treated as custom toolbar item.

Both built-in and custom items in toolbar

Built-in and custom items in a toolbar within the Syncfusion® EJ2 JavaScript Grid provides the flexibility to create a customized toolbar with a combination of standard actions and custom actions.

To use both types of toolbar items, you can define the toolbar property of the Grid as an array that includes both built-in and custom items. The built-in items are specified as strings, while the custom items are defined as objects with properties such as text, prefixIcon, and id within the toolbar control.

The following example demonstrates, how to use both built-in and custom toolbar items in the grid. The built-in toolbar items includes Add, Edit, Delete, Update, and Cancel, while the custom toolbar item is Click.

ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Edit, ej.grids.Toolbar);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: data,
    toolbar: ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel', { text: 'Click', tooltipText: 'Click', prefixIcon: 'e-expand', id: 'Click' }],
    toolbarClick: clickHandler,
    editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true },
    columns: [
        { field: 'OrderID', headerText: 'Order ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 90 },
        { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 100 },
        { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'ShipCity', width: 100 },
        { field: 'ShipName', headerText: 'ShipName', width: 120 }
    ],
    height: 273
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');

function clickHandler(args){
    if (args.item.id === 'Click') {
        document.getElementById('message').innerText = `Custom Toolbar Clicked`;
    }
};

Add custom components to the Grid toolbar using template

The Syncfusion EJ2 JavaScript Grid provides the flexibility to customize its toolbar by embedding custom components using the template property of the ItemModel. This feature allows developers to add UI elements such as buttons, dropdowns, or input controls directly into the toolbar, alongside built-in actions like Add, Edit, and Delete.

In the following example, an AutoComplete is rendered based on an input element defined in the HTML page. The AutoComplete is populated with unique values from the ShipCity field of the Grid data. When you select a value from the AutoComplete, the Grid is filtered to display only the records that match the selected city. Once the Grid is rendered, the custom AutoComplete appears as part of the toolbar, allowing you to interact with both standard and custom toolbar elements.

Additionally, the change event of the AutoComplete is used to trigger a search operation within the Grid. When you select or type a value, the event handler invokes the Grid’s search method, dynamically filtering the displayed records in the ShipCity column based on the input.

ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Toolbar, ej.grids.Edit);

var dropDownData= [
  'Reims',
  'Münster',
  'Rio de Janeiro',
  'Lyon',
  'Charleroi',
  'Bern',
  'Genève',
  'San Cristóbal',
  'Graz',
  'México D.F.',
  'Albuquerque',
  'Köln'
];

var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
  dataSource: data,
  toolbar: [
    'Add',
    'Edit',
    'Delete',
    {
      template: '#toolbar-template',
      align: 'Left',
      tooltipText: 'Custom Component AutoComplete',
    },
  ],
  editSettings: { allowAdding: true, allowEditing: true, allowDeleting: true },
  
  columns: [
    {
      field: 'OrderID',
      headerText: 'Order ID',
      textAlign: 'Right',
      width: 90,
      isPrimaryKey: true,
    },
    { field: 'CustomerID', headerText: 'Customer ID', width: 100 },
    { field: 'ShipCity', headerText: 'ShipCity', width: 100 },
    { field: 'ShipName', headerText: 'ShipName', width: 120 },
  ],
  height: 270,
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');

var listObj = new ej.dropdowns.AutoComplete({
  dataSource: dropDownData,
  placeholder: 'Search ShipCity',
  change: function (event) {
    const selectedCity = event.value;
    // perform search action for ShipCity column.
    grid.search(selectedCity);
   }  
});
listObj.appendTo('#autoCompleteObj');

Custom toolbar control in a specific position

Customizing the position of a custom toolbar within the Syncfusion® EJ2 JavaScript Grid involves modifying the default placement of the custom toolbar items. This enables you to precisely control the positioning of each custom toolbar item according to your specific requirements and desired layout within the Grid.

By default, custom toolbar items in Grid control are aligned on the left side of the toolbar. However, you have the ability to modify the position of the custom toolbar items by utilizing the align property of the ItemModel.

In the following sample, the Collapse All toolbar item is positioned on the Right, the Expand All toolbar item is positioned on the Left, and the Search toolbar item is positioned at the Center.

function toolbarClick(args){
    if (args.item.id === 'expandall') {
        grid.groupModule.expandAll();
    }
    if (args.item.id === "collapseall") {
        grid.groupModule.collapseAll();
    }
};
ej.grids.Grid.Inject(ej.grids.Toolbar, ej.grids.Group);
var grid = new ej.grids.Grid({
    dataSource: employeeData,
    allowGrouping: true,
    groupSettings: { columns: ['FirstName'] },
    toolbar: [{ text: 'Expand All', tooltipText: 'Expand All', prefixIcon: 'e-expand', id: 'expandall', align: 'Left'}, { text: 'Collapse All', tooltipText: 'collection All', prefixIcon: 'e-collapse', id: 'collapseall', align: 'Right' }, { text: 'Search', align: 'Center'}],
    toolbarClick: toolbarClick,
    columns: [
        { field: 'EmployeeID', headerText: 'Employee ID', textAlign: 'Right', width: 80 },
        { field: 'FirstName', headerText: 'First Name', width: 140 },
        { field: 'Country', headerText: 'Country', width: 120 },
        { field: 'PostalCode', headerText: 'Postal Code', width: 140 }
    ],
    height: 200,
});
grid.appendTo('#Grid');
