27 Apr 202315 minutes to read

Wizard helps you create intuitive step-by-step forms to fill. You can achieve the wizard like editing by using the dialog template feature. It support your own editing template by defining editSettings.mode as Dialog and editSetting.template as SCRIPT element ID or HTML string which holds the template.

The following example demonstrate the wizard like editing in the Tree Grid with the obtrusive Validation.

ej.treegrid.TreeGrid.Inject(ej.treegrid.Edit,ej.treegrid.Toolbar);

var PriorityData = ej.data.DataUtil.distinct(projectData, "Priority", true);

var treegrid = new ej.treegrid.TreeGrid({
  dataSource: window.projectData,
  idMapping: "TaskID",
  parentIdMapping: "parentID",
  treeColumnIndex: 1,
  height: 273,
  toolbar: ["Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Update", "Cancel"],
  editSettings: {
    allowEditing: true,
    allowAdding: true,
    allowDeleting: true,
    mode: "Dialog",
    template: "#dialogtemplate"
  },
  actionComplete: actionComplete,
  columns: [
    { field: "TaskID", headerText: "Task ID", textAlign: "Right", isPrimaryKey: true, width: 70 },
    { field: "TaskName", headerText: "Task Name", width: 100 },
    { field: "StartDate", headerText: "Start Date", textAlign: "Right", width: 100, editType: "datepickeredit",
      format: { skeleton: "yMd", type: "date" } },
    { field: "EndDate", headerText: "End Date", textAlign: "Right", width: 90, editType: "datepickeredit",
      format: { skeleton: "yMd", type: "date" } },
    { field: "Duration", headerText: "Duration", textAlign: "Right", width: 90 },
    { field: "Priority", headerText: "Priority", width: 90 }
  ]
});
treegrid.appendTo("#TreeGrid");
function actionComplete(args) {
  if (args.requestType === "beginEdit" || args.requestType === "add") {
    new ej.dropdowns.DropDownList(
      {
        value: args.rowData.Priority,
        popupHeight: "300px",
        floatLabelType: "Always",
        dataSource: PriorityData,
        fields: { text: "Priority", value: "Priority" },
        placeholder: "Priority"
      },
      args.form.elements.namedItem("Priority")
    );
    new ej.inputs.NumericTextBox(
      { value: args.rowData.Duration, placeholder: "Duration" },
      args.form.elements.namedItem("Duration")
    );
    // Set initail Focus
    if (args.requestType === "beginEdit") {
      args.form.elements.namedItem("TaskName").focus();
    }
    initializeWizard();
  }
}
function initializeWizard() {
  var currentTab = 0;

  document.getElementById("nextBtn").onclick = function() {
    if (validate()) {
      if (this.innerHTML !== "SUBMIT") {
        currentTab++;
        nextpre(currentTab);
      } else {
        treegrid.endEdit();
      }
    }
  };
  function validate(tab) {
    var valid = true;
    [].slice
      .call(
        document.getElementById("tab" + currentTab).querySelectorAll("[name]")
      )
      .forEach(element => {
        element.form.ej2_instances[0].validate(element.name);
        if (element.getAttribute("aria-invalid") === "true") {
          valid = false;
        }
      });
    if (!valid) {
      return false;
    }
    return true;

  document.getElementById("prevBtn").onclick = function() {
    if (validate()) {
      currentTab--;
      nextpre(currentTab);
    }
  };
}
function nextpre(current) {
  var tabs = [].slice.call(document.getElementsByClassName("tab"));
  tabs.forEach(element => (element.style.display = "none"));
  tabs[current].style.display = "";
