Editing in React Grid Component

17 Feb 202624 minutes to read

The Syncfusion® React Grid component includes built-in editing features for creating, reading, updating, and deleting data directly in the grid. This eliminates the need for separate forms and allows data modification within a single interface. The grid editing provides powerful options through multiple edit modes, customizable triggers, and flexible data handling.

Set up editing

Before using editing in the grid, understand that the component needs the Edit module to unlock all editing features. The Edit module is a service that powers all create, read, update, and delete operations. Without it, editing features cannot work.

Inject the Edit module into the Grid component’s Inject services array to enable editing:

import { Inject, Edit } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';

<GridComponent>
  <Inject services={[Edit]} />
</GridComponent>

The Inject component tells the grid to load the Edit module when the component initializes. This happens automatically when the page loads.

Enable editing

To enable editing functionality directly within the grid, configure the allowEditing, allowAdding, and allowDeleting properties within the editSettings to true.

Property Purpose
allowEditing Enable editing of existing records
allowAdding Enable adding new records
allowDeleting Enable deleting records

Editing functionality requires a primary key column for CRUD operations. A primary key is a column that contains a unique identifier for each row. The grid uses this identifier to know which row to update or delete. To define the primary key, set isPrimaryKey to true in the relevant column.

Edit actions and triggers

Edit operations can be triggered through multiple methods. Each method offers a different way to start editing, allowing flexibility to choose the most appropriate interaction pattern for the application:

  • Double-click a row: Initiate editing by double-clicking a row. This behavior is enabled by default and can be disabled by setting the editSettings.allowEditOnDblClick property to false in editSettings.
  • Toolbar buttons: Use Edit, Add, or Delete buttons in a toolbar to control editing actions. These buttons appear at the top of the grid and provide clear visual control. Requires toolbar setup (see Toolbar with edit option section).
  • Keyboard shortcuts: Use keyboard keys to quickly trigger actions. Press Insert to add a new row, press F2 to edit the selected row, and press Delete to remove the selected row from the grid.
  • External methods: Call methods from outside the grid (from custom buttons or code) to control editing actions. Refer to the How to perform CRUD action externally section, which documents methods like addRecord, startEdit, deleteRecord, endEdit, and closeEdit.

Edit modes

The Grid component supports multiple editing modes through the editSettings.mode property. Each mode provides a different way to edit data. The appropriate mode should be selected based on application requirements and editing workflow needs.

Mode Behavior Characteristics
Inline Single row enters edit state. Cells become editable inline within the grid Fast single-row edits with minimal grid view disruption. Changes take effect directly within the grid, providing immediate visual feedback
Batch Multiple rows or cells can be edited simultaneously. All changes saved together in one operation Enables simultaneous editing before submission. Prevents accidental saves and allows reviewing all changes before committing to the data source
Dialog Row data opens in a dialog box that blocks the grid until closed Consolidates data into a focused form interface for organized multi-field editing. Ensures focused editing and enforced validation before submission 
// Inline editing.
<GridComponent editSettings={{ mode: 'Inline', allowEditing: true }}>

// Batch editing.
<GridComponent editSettings={{ mode: 'Batch', allowEditing: true }}>

// Dialog editing.
<GridComponent editSettings={{ mode: 'Dialog', allowEditing: true }}>

  • If isIdentity is enabled, the column is considered read-only when editing and adding records.
  • Disable editing for a particular column by setting allowEditing to false.
  • When isPrimaryKey is set to true, the column is automatically made read-only during editing and is editable only when adding a new record. This is because primary key columns must remain unchanged to maintain row identification.

Toolbar with edit option

The toolbar with edit option feature in the Grid component provides a built-in toolbar with various items for executing editing actions. This feature enables efficient edit operations on grid data, such as modifying cell values, updating changes, and canceling edits.

Configure the toolbar property of the Grid component to enable this feature. The toolbar property defines the items displayed in the grid toolbar. Include relevant items like Edit, Add, Delete, Update, and Cancel within the toolbar property to enable edit options in the toolbar.

The following example demonstrates how to enable the toolbar with edit option in the grid:

import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, GridComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import { Edit, Inject, Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import * as React from 'react';
import { data } from './datasource';
function App() {
  const editOptions = { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true };
  const toolbarOptions = ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'];
  const orderIDRules = { required: true, number: true };
  const customerIDRules = { required: true };
  const freightRules = { required: true, number: true };
  const shipCountryrules = { required: true };
  return <GridComponent dataSource={data} editSettings={editOptions} toolbar={toolbarOptions} height={265}>
    <ColumnsDirective>
      <ColumnDirective field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' width='100' textAlign="Right" isPrimaryKey={true} validationRules={orderIDRules} />
      <ColumnDirective field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width='120' validationRules={customerIDRules} />
      <ColumnDirective field='Freight' headerText='Freight' width='120' format="C2" textAlign="Right" validationRules={freightRules} />
      <ColumnDirective field='ShipCountry' headerText='Ship Country' width='150' validationRules={shipCountryrules} />
    </ColumnsDirective>
    <Inject services={[Edit, Toolbar]} />
  </GridComponent>;
};

Disable editing for particular column

The Grid component provides the option to disable editing for specific columns. This is useful when certain columns should remain read-only, such as columns containing calculated values, IDs, or system-generated data.

Static column disabling

To permanently disable editing for a column, set the allowEditing property to false on the column. This prevents editing for that column across all rows:

<ColumnDirective field='OrderID' allowEditing={false} />

Dynamic column disabling

To disable editing for a column based on application interaction or conditions, use the allowEditing property of the columns object. Set this property to false to prevent editing for that specific column. The following example demonstrates how to disable editing for selected columns dynamically in the Grid.

Editing a template column

By default, template columns in the grid do not require field properties. However, to leverage built-in grid editing functionality instead of implementing custom CRUD operations, define the field property for specific columns.

The field property maps the column to the corresponding field in the data source, enabling built-in edit options such as editType. The following example demonstrates a column template with built-in DropDownList editType implementation for the “Ship Country” column.

import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, GridComponent, Toolbar, ToolbarItems } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import { Edit, EditSettingsModel, Inject } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import * as React from 'react';
import { data } from './datasource';

function App() {
  const editOptions = { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true };
  const toolbar = ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'];
  const orderIDRules = { required: true, number: true };
  const customerIDRules = { required: true };
  const freightRules = { required: true, min: 1, max: 1000 };
  const template = (props) => {
    return (
      <a href='#'>{props.ShipCountry}</a>
    )
  }
  return (<div>
    <GridComponent dataSource={data} editSettings={editOptions} toolbar={toolbar} height={268}>
      <ColumnsDirective>
        <ColumnDirective field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' width='100' textAlign="Right" isPrimaryKey={true} validationRules={orderIDRules} />
        <ColumnDirective field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width='120' validationRules={customerIDRules} />
        <ColumnDirective field='Freight' headerText='Freight' width='120' format="C2" textAlign="Right" validationRules={freightRules} editType='numericedit' />
        <ColumnDirective field='ShipCountry' headerText='Ship Country' width='150' editType='dropdownedit' template={template} />
      </ColumnsDirective>
      <Inject services={[Edit, Toolbar]} />
    </GridComponent></div>)
};
export default App;

Customize delete confirmation dialog

By default, the Grid shows a confirmation dialog when attempting to delete a row. The appearance and content of this dialog can be customized to match application requirements. Customization can include changing the dialog header, icons, or button text.

To customize the delete confirmation dialog, utilize the toolbarClick event. This event is triggered when a toolbar action is performed and allows modification of dialog properties.

Before customizing the delete dialog, ensure that the showDeleteConfirmDialog property of the editSettings configuration is set to true to enable the confirmation dialog. Additionally, refer to the grid Default text list for localization options if custom button text is needed.

The following example demonstrates how to customize the delete confirmation dialog using the toolbarClick event.

import { L10n } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, GridComponent, Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import { Edit, Inject } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import * as React from 'react';
import { data } from './datasource';

L10n.load({
  'en-US': {
    grid: {
      'OKButton': 'YES',
      'CancelButton': 'Discard',
      'ConfirmDelete': 'Are you sure you want to delete the selected Record?'
    }
  }
});
function App() {
  let grid;
  const editOptions = { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true, showDeleteConfirmDialog: true };
  const toolbar = ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'];
  const toolbarClick = (args) => {
    if (args.item.properties.text === 'Delete') {
      const dialogObj = grid.editModule.dialogObj;
      dialogObj.header = 'Delete Confirmation Dialog';
      dialogObj.showCloseIcon = true;
    }
  }

Update boolean column value with a single click

Boolean columns (true/false values) can be toggled directly in the grid without opening an edit form. This provides a faster editing experience for simple yes/no data. This is achieved by rendering a checkbox component as a column template that updates the value immediately when clicked.

The following example demonstrates how to render a CheckBox component as a template in the “Verified” column to enable single-click editing:

import { CheckBoxComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, GridComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import { Edit, Inject, Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import * as React from 'react';
import { data } from './datasource';

function App() {
  let grid;
  const editOptions = { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true };
  const toolbarOptions = ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'];
  const orderIDRules = { required: true, number: true };
  const customerIDRules = { required: true };
  const freightRules = { required: true, min: 1, max: 1000 };
  const verifiedRules = { required: true };
  const dateRules = { required: true };

  const onVerifiedChange = (args, rowData) => {
    const rowIndex = grid.getRowIndexByPrimaryKey(rowData.OrderID);
    grid.updateRow(rowIndex, { ...rowData, Verified: args.checked });
  };
  const template = (props) => {
    return (<div>
      <CheckBoxComponent checked={props.Verified} change={(args) => onVerifiedChange(args, props)}></CheckBoxComponent>
    </div>)

  }
  return (<div>
    <GridComponent id='Grid' ref={(g) => (grid = g)} dataSource={data} editSettings={editOptions}
      toolbar={toolbarOptions} height={268}>
      <ColumnsDirective>
        <ColumnDirective field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' validationRules={orderIDRules} width='100' textAlign="Right" isPrimaryKey={true} />

        <ColumnDirective field='OrderDate' headerText='OrderDate' width='150' format='yMd' editType='datepickeredit' validationRules={dateRules} />

  const customerIDRules: object = { required: true };
  const freightRules: object = { required: true, min: 1, max: 1000 };
  const verifiedRules: object = { required: true };
  const dateRules: object = { required: true };

   const onVerifiedChange = (args: ChangeEventArgs, rowData: object | any) => {

Edit enum column

Enum columns contain predefined list values (enumerated data). Instead of allowing free-form text input, using a dropdown editor ensures data consistency and prevents invalid entries. The editTemplate property enables custom editors for enum data.

The following example demonstrates how to render a DropDownList component as an edit template for the “Employee Feedback” column, binding it to a predefined list of enum values:

import { DropDownListComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-dropdowns';
import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, GridComponent, SaveEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import { Edit, EditSettingsModel, Inject, Toolbar, ToolbarItems } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import * as React from 'react';
import { data } from './datasource';

function App() {
  let details = data;
  let orderData;
  const Feedback = {
    Positive: 0,
    Negative: 1
  };
  const editOptions = { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true };
  const toolbarOptions = ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'];
  const orderIDRules = { required: true, number: true };
  const dropdownFields = { text: 'FeedbackDetails', value: 'FeedbackDetails' };
  const dropDownEnumValue = Object.keys(Feedback).filter((key) => !isNaN(Number((Feedback)[key])));

  const actionBegin = (args) => {
    if (args.requestType === 'beginEdit' || args.requestType === 'add') {
      orderData = Object.assign({}, args.rowData);
    }
    if (args.requestType === 'save') {
      orderData['FeedbackDetails'] = args.data['FeedbackDetails'];
    }
  }
  const editTemplate = () => {
    return (
      <div>
        <DropDownListComponent id='FeedbackDetails' dataSource={dropDownEnumValue} fields={dropdownFields} value={orderData.FeedbackDetails} popupHeight={150}></DropDownListComponent>
      </div>
    )
  }
  return (<div>
    <GridComponent id='Grid' dataSource={details} editSettings={editOptions}
      toolbar={toolbarOptions} height={268} actionBegin={actionBegin}>
      <ColumnsDirective>

function App() {

  let orderData: EmployeeDetails;
  const editOptions: EditSettingsModel = { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true };
  const toolbarOptions: ToolbarItems[] = ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'];
  const orderIDRules: object = { required: true, number: true };
  const dropdownFields: Object = { text: 'FeedbackDetails', value: 'FeedbackDetails' };
  const dropDownEnumValue: string[] = Object.keys(Feedback).filter((key: string) => !isNaN(Number((Feedback)[key])));

  const actionBegin = (args: SaveEventArgs) => {

Edit complex column

Complex columns contain nested data objects (such as “Name.FirstName”). When editing complex data with custom input elements, the binding syntax differs from simple columns. Use the underscore operator (___) instead of the dot operator (.) to correctly bind nested properties in edit templates.

The following example demonstrates how to edit complex nested data. The “FirstName” and “LastName” properties (nested under “Name”) are edited using input elements with names defined as “Name__FirstName” and “Name__LastName”:

import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, GridComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import { Edit, Inject, Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import * as React from 'react';
import { complexData } from './datasource';
function App() {
  const editOptions = { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true };
  const toolbarOptions = ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'];
  const firstNameTemplate = (props) => {
    return (
      <div>
        <input className='e-input' name='Name___FirstName' type='text' id='Name___FirstName' defaultValue={props.Name.FirstName} />
      </div>
    )
  }
  const lastNameTemplate = (props) => {
    return (
      <div>
        <input className='e-input' name='Name___LastName' type='text' id='Name___LastName' defaultValue={props.Name.LastName} />
      </div>
    )
  }
  return (<div>
    <GridComponent id='Grid' dataSource={complexData} editSettings={editOptions}

      <ColumnsDirective>

Edit foreign key column

Foreign key columns display values from a related table. By default, the Grid renders a DropDownList component editor for foreign key columns. However, this can be customized to use other components like ComboBox to enable search and filtering capabilities (e.g., for enhanced data discovery).

Use the editTemplate property to customize the editor component for foreign key columns. The following example demonstrates how to render a ComboBox component instead of DropDownList component for the “Employee Name” foreign key column.

import { ComboBoxComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-dropdowns';
import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, ForeignKey, GridComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import { Edit, Inject, Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import * as React from 'react';
import { data, employeeData } from './datasource';

function App() {
  let orderData;
  const editOptions = { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true };
  const toolbarOptions = ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'];
  const orderIDRules = { required: true };
  const comboFields = { text: 'FirstName', value: 'EmployeeID' };
  const dropDownData = [
    { FirstName: 'Nancy', EmployeeID: 1 },
    { FirstName: 'Andrew', EmployeeID: 6 },
    { FirstName: 'Janet', EmployeeID: 3 },
    { FirstName: 'Margaret', EmployeeID: 4 },
    { FirstName: 'Steven', EmployeeID: 5 },
    { FirstName: 'Laura', EmployeeID: 8 }
  ];

  const actionBegin = (args) => {
    if (args.requestType === 'beginEdit' || args.requestType === 'add') {
      orderData = Object.assign({}, args.rowData);
    }
    if (args.requestType === 'save') {
      orderData['EmployeeID'] = args.data['EmployeeID'];
    }
  }
  const editTemplate = () => {
    return (
      <div>
        <ComboBoxComponent id='EmployeeID' dataSource={dropDownData} fields={comboFields} value={orderData.EmployeeID}></ComboBoxComponent>

Perform CRUD action externally

By default, the Grid provides built-in editing through toolbars and inline editing. However, CRUD operations can also be triggered programmatically from external controls (custom buttons, forms, or panels outside the grid). This allows full control over when and how data operations occur.

Using separate toolbar

To perform CRUD operations externally, use the following methods:

Method Purpose
addRecord Add a new record (shows edit form if no data provided)
startEdit Begin editing the selected row
deleteRecord Delete the selected row
endEdit Save changes when grid is in edit state
closeEdit Cancel editing without saving

The following example demonstrates external CRUD operations with a custom toolbar.

import { ItemDirective, ItemsDirective, ToolbarComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations';
import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, GridComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import { Edit, Inject, Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import * as React from 'react';
import { data } from './datasource';

function App() {
  let grid;
  const editOptions = { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true };
  const pageSettings = { pageSize: 5 };
  const orderIDRules = { required: true, };
  const customerIDRules = { required: true };
  const freightRules = { required: true };
  const editparams = { params: { popupHeight: '300px' } };

  const ontoolbarClick = (args) => {
    switch (args.item.id) {
      case 'add':
        grid.addRecord();
        break;
      case 'edit':
        grid.startEdit();
        break;
      case 'delete':
        grid.deleteRecord();
        break;
      case 'update':
        grid.endEdit();
        break;
      case 'cancel':
        grid.closeEdit();

Using external form

Instead of editing data in the Grid itself, custom forms can be used to edit selected rows. When a row is selected in the Grid, the corresponding data is populated in an external form. Changes made in the external form update the Grid data.

The rowSelected event can be used to capture row selection and populate external form fields with the selected row’s data. The following example demonstrates editing using an external form.

import { NumericTextBoxComponent, TextBoxComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import { DropDownListComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-dropdowns';
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, ForeignKey, GridComponent, RowSelectEventArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import { Edit, EditSettingsModel, Inject, Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { data } from './datasource';

function App() {
  let grid;
  const editOptions = { allowEditing: true };
  const [selectedProduct, setSelectedProduct] = useState([]);

  const dropdown= [
    { shipCountry: 'Germany' },
    { shipCountry: 'Brazil' },
    { shipCountry: 'France' },
    { shipCountry: 'Belgium' },
    { shipCountry: 'Switzerland' },
    { shipCountry: 'Venezuela' },
    { shipCountry: 'USA' },
    { shipCountry: 'Mexico' },
    { shipCountry: 'Italy' },
    { shipCountry: 'Sweden' },
    { shipCountry: 'Finland' },
    { shipCountry: 'Spain' },
    { shipCountry: 'Canada' },
    { shipCountry: 'Portugal' },
    { shipCountry: 'Denmark' },
    { shipCountry: 'Austria' },
    { shipCountry: 'UK' },
    { shipCountry: 'Ireland' },
    { shipCountry: 'Norway' },
    { shipCountry: 'Argentina' },
  ];
  const dropdownFields = { text: 'shipCountry', value: 'shipCountry' };
  const handleInputChange = (field, value) => {
    setSelectedProduct((prevProduct) => ({ ...prevProduct, [field]: value }));
  };
  const save = () => {
    const index = grid.getSelectedRowIndexes()[0];

Troubleshoot editing works only for first row

If editing or deleting only works for the first row in the grid, the isPrimaryKey property is likely not configured. The primary key is essential for identifying which row to edit or delete. Without it, the grid cannot distinguish between rows.

Solution: Set isPrimaryKey to true on the column that contains unique identifiers:

<ColumnDirective field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' width='100' isPrimaryKey={true} />

How to make a Grid column always editable

By default, editing happens when a row enters edit mode (double-click or Edit button). However, some columns may need to be editable at all times without requiring an edit action. Achieve this using column templates with input controls that save changes automatically.

The following example demonstrates how to render a textbox in the “Freight” column that is always editable. Value changes are captured through the Grid component’s React onKeyUp event handler and persisted to the underlying grid row data using the updateRow method:

import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, GridComponent, parentsUntil } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import * as React from 'react';
import { data } from './datasource';
function App() {
    let grid;
    const gridTemplate = (props) => {
        return (<div>
      <input id={props.OrderID} defaultValue={props.Freight} className='custemp' type='text'/>
    </div>);
    };
    const onKeyUp = (e) => {
      if (e.target.classList.contains('custemp')) { // Based on condition, you can find whether the target is an input element or not.
          let row = parentsUntil(e.target, 'e-row');
          let rowIndex = row.rowIndex; // Get the row index.
          let uid = row.getAttribute('data-uid');
          let grid = document.getElementsByClassName('e-grid')[0].ej2_instances[0];
          let rowData = grid.getRowObjectFromUID(uid).data; // Get the row data.
          rowData.Freight = e.target.value; // Update the new value for the corresponding column.
          grid.updateRow(rowIndex, rowData); // Update the modified value in the row data.
      }
    }
    return <GridComponent dataSource={data} ref={g => grid = g} height={315} onKeyUp={onKeyUp}>
    <ColumnsDirective>
      <ColumnDirective field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' width='120' textAlign="Right" isPrimaryKey={true}/>
      <ColumnDirective field='OrderDate' headerText='Order Date' width='130' textAlign="Right" format='yMd'/>
      <ColumnDirective field='ShipCountry' headerText='Ship Country' width='140'/>
      <ColumnDirective field='Freight' headerText='Receipt Amount' width='140' template={gridTemplate}/>
    </ColumnsDirective>
  </GridComponent>;
}
;
export default App;
import { ColumnDirective, ColumnsDirective, GridComponent, parentsUntil } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-grids';
import * as React from 'react';
import { data } from './datasource';

function App() {
  let grid: GridComponent | null;
  const gridTemplate = (props: any): any => {
    return (<div>

    </div>);
  }
  const onKeyUp = (e: React.KeyboardEvent<HTMLElement>) => {
    if ((e.target as any).classList.contains('custemp')) { // Based on condition, you can find whether the target is an input element or not.
      let row = parentsUntil(e.target as any, 'e-row');
      let rowIndex = (row as any).rowIndex; // Get the row index.
