Data Binding

The Grid uses DataManager which supports both RESTful JSON data services binding and local JavaScript object array binding. The dataSource property can be assigned either with the instance of DataManager or JavaScript object array collection. It supports two kinds of data binding methods:

  • Local data
  • Remote data

Local Data

To bind local data to the grid, you can assign a JavaScript object array to the dataSource property. The local data source can also be provided as an instance of the DataManager.

By default, DataManager uses JsonAdaptor for local data-binding.

Remote Data

To bind remote data to grid component, assign service data as an instance of DataManager to the dataSource property. To interact with remote data source, provide the endpoint url.

By default, DataManager uses ODataAdaptor for remote data-binding.

Binding with OData Services

OData is a standardized protocol for creating and consuming data. You can retrieve data from OData service using DataManager. You can refer to the following code example of remote data binding using OData service.

Binding with OData v4 services

The ODataV4 is an improved version of OData protocols, and the DataManager can also retrieve and consume OData v4 services. For more details on OData v4 services, refer to the odata documentation. To bind OData v4 service, use the ODataV4Adaptor.

Web API

You can use WebApiAdaptor to bind grid with Web API created using OData endpoint.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-grid :dataSource="data">
          <e-columns>
            <e-column field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' textAlign='Right' width=90></e-column>
            <e-column field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width=120></e-column>
            <e-column field='Freight' headerText='Freight' textAlign='Right' format='C2' width=90></e-column>
            <e-column field='OrderDate' headerText='Order Date' textAlign='Right' format='yMd' type='date' width=120></e-column>
          </e-columns>
        </ejs-grid>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { GridPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids";
import { DataManager, WebApiAdaptor } from "@syncfusion/ej2-data";

Vue.use(GridPlugin);

export default Vue.extend({
  data() {
    return {
      data: new DataManager({
        url: 'api/Orders',
        adaptor: new WebApiAdaptor(),
        crossDomain: true
      })
    };
  }
});
</script>
<style>
 @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids/styles/material.css";
</style>

The response object should contain properties Items and Count whose values are a collection of entities and the total count of the entities respectively.

The sample response object should look like below.

{
    Items: [{..}, {..}, {..}, ...],
    Count: 830
}

Remote Save Adaptor

You may need to perform all Grid Actions in client-side except the CRUD operations, that should be interacted with server-side to persist data. It can be achieved in Grid by using RemoteSaveAdaptor.

Datasource must be set to json property and set RemoteSaveAdaptor to the adaptor property. CRUD operations can be mapped to server-side using updateUrl, insertUrl, removeUrl, batchUrl, crudUrl properties.

You can use the following code example to use RemoteSaveAdaptor in Grid.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-grid :dataSource="dataSource" :editSettings='editSettings' :toolbar='toolbar'>
          <e-columns>
            <e-column field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' :isPrimaryKey='true' textAlign='Right' width=90></e-column>
            <e-column field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width=120></e-column>
            <e-column field='Freight' headerText='Freight' textAlign='Right' format='C2' width=90></e-column>
            <e-column field='OrderDate' headerText='Order Date' textAlign='Right' format='yMd' type='date' width=120></e-column>
          </e-columns>
        </ejs-grid>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { GridPlugin, Toolbar, Edit } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids";
import { DataManager, RemoteSaveAdaptor } from "@syncfusion/ej2-data";
import { data } from './datasource.js';

Vue.use(GridPlugin);

export default Vue.extend({
  data() {
    return {
      dataSource: new DataManager({
        json: data,
        adaptor: new RemoteSaveAdaptor,
        insertUrl: '/Home/Insert',
        updateUrl: '/Home/Update',
        removeUrl: '/Home/Delete'
      }),
      editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true },
      toolbar: ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel']
    };
  },
  provide: {
    grid: [Edit, Toolbar]
  }
});
</script>
<style>
 @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids/styles/material.css";
</style>

The following code example describes the CRUD operations handled at server-side.

    public ActionResult Update(OrdersDetails value)
    {
        ...
        return Json(value);
    }
    public ActionResult Insert(OrdersDetails value)
    {
        ...
        return Json(new { data = value });
    }
    public ActionResult Delete(int key)
    {
        ...
        return Json(data);
    }

Custom Adaptor

You can create your own adaptor by extending the built-in adaptors. For the sake of demonstrating custom adaptor approach, we are going to see how to add a serial number for the records by overriding the built-in response processing using the processResponse method of the ODataAdaptor.

        original.result.forEach((item) => item['Sno'] = ++i);
        return { result: original.result, count: original.count };
    }
}

export default {
  data() {

Offline mode

On remote data binding, all grid actions such as paging, sorting, editing, grouping, filtering, etc, will be processed on server-side. To avoid post back for every action, set the grid to load all data on initialization and make the actions process in client-side. To enable this behavior, use the offline property of DataManager.

  }
});
</script>

 @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids/styles/material.css";

Sending additional parameters

To add a custom parameter to the data request, use the addParams method of Query class. Assign the Query object with additional parameters to the grid query property.

      pageSettings: {pageSize: 7},
      query: new Query().addParams('ej2grid', 'true');
    };

  provide: {
    grid: [Page]
  }
}
</script>
<style>
 @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids/styles/material.css";
</style>

The parameters added using the query property will be sent along with the data request for every grid action.

Handle Http Error

During server interaction from the grid, some server-side exceptions may occur, and you can acquire those error messages or exception details in client-side using the actionFailure event.

The argument passed to the actionFailure Grid event contains the error details returned from the server.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-grid :dataSource="data" :actionFailure='actionFailure'>
          <e-columns>
            <e-column field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' textAlign='Right' width=90></e-column>
            <e-column field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width=120></e-column>
            <e-column field='Freight' headerText='Freight' textAlign='Right' format='C2' width=90></e-column>
            <e-column field='OrderDate' headerText='Order Date' textAlign='Right' format='yMd' type='date' width=120></e-column>
          </e-columns>
        </ejs-grid>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { GridPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids";
import { DataManager, ODataAdaptor } from "@syncfusion/ej2-data";

Vue.use(GridPlugin);

export default Vue.extend({
  data() {
    return {
      data: new DataManager({
        url: 'http://some.com/invalidUrl',
        adaptor: new ODataAdaptor()
      })
    };
  },
  methods: {
    actionFailure: function() {
       alert('Server exception: 404 Not found');
    }
  }
});
</script>
<style>
 @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids/styles/material.css";
</style>

The actionFailure event will be triggered not only for the server errors, but also when there is an exception while processing the grid actions.

Custom Binding

It is possible to handle data processing externally and bind the result to the grid. This help you to provide your own custom data logic. Grid expects an object as the result of the custom logic and the emitted value should be an object with properties result and count.

In this context, we are going to use Ajax from our @syncfusion/ej2-base library for handling remote interaction, you can choose any HTTP client as per your choice.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-grid :dataSource='data' :allowPaging='true' :pageSettings='pageOptions' :allowSorting='true' :allowGrouping='true' :dataStateChange='dataStateChange'>

Handling Grid actions

For grid actions such as paging, grouping, sorting etc, the dataStateChange event will be invoked. You have to query and resolve data using AJAX in this event based on the state arguments.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-grid :dataSource='data' :allowPaging='true' :pageSettings='pageOptions' :allowSorting='true' :allowGrouping='true' :dataStateChange='dataStateChange'>

                <e-column field= "ShipName" headerText="Ship Name" width="200"></e-column>
                <e-column field= "ShipCity" headerText="Ship City" width="150"></e-column>

Perform CRUD operations

The dataSourceChanged event will be triggered for updating the grid data. You can perform the save operation based on the event arguments and you need to call the endEdit method to indicate the completion of save operation.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-grid :dataSource='data' :allowPaging='true' :pageSettings='pageOptions' :allowSorting='true' :allowGrouping='true' :dataStateChange='dataStateChange'  :editSettings='editSettings' :toolbar='toolbar'>
            <e-columns>
                <e-column field= "OrderID" headerText="Order ID" :isPrimaryKey='true' width="130" textAlign='Right' ></e-column>
                <e-column field= "CustomerID" headerText="Customer Name" width="150"></e-column>
                <e-column field= "ShipName" headerText="Ship Name" width="200"></e-column>
                <e-column field= "ShipCity" headerText="Ship City" width="150"></e-column>
            </e-columns>
        </ejs-grid>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { GridPlugin, DataStateChangeEventArgs, Sorts, Sort, Group, Page, DataResult, Toolbar, Edit } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids";
import { OrderService } from "./order-service";

Vue.use(GridPlugin);

export default Vue.extend({
  data() {
    return {
      data: {},
      editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true },
      toolbar: ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel'],
      pageOptions: { pageSize: 10, pageCount: 4 },
      orderService: new OrderService()
    };
  },
  mounted() {
    let state = { skip: 0, take: 10 };
    this.dataStateChange(state);
  },
  methods:{
    dataStateChange: function (state) {
        this.orderService.execute(state).then(( gridData ) => this.data = gridData );
    },
    dataSourceChanged: function (state) {
    if (state.action === 'add') {
      this.orderService.addRecord(state).subscribe(() => state.endEdit());
    } else if (state.action === 'edit') {
      this.orderService.updateRecord(state).subscribe(() => state.endEdit());
    } else if (state.requestType === 'delete') {
      this.orderService.deleteRecord(state).subscribe(() => state.endEdit());
    }
  }
  },
  provide: {
      grid: [Sort, Group, Page, Edit, Toolbar]
  }
});
</script>
<style>
 @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids/styles/material.css";
</style>

Calculate aggregates

The footer aggregate values should be calculated and send along with the dataSource property as follows. The aggregate property of the data source should contain the aggregate value assigned to the property named in the field – type format. For example, the Sum aggregate value for the Freight field should be assigned to the property named as Freight - sum.

{
    result: [{..}, {..}, {..}, ...],
    count: 830,
    aggregates: { 'Freight - sum' : 450,'EmployeeID - min': 1 }
}

The group footer and caption aggregate values will be calculated by the grid itself.

Provide Excel filter data source

The dataStateChange event will be triggered with appropriate arguments when the excel filter requests the filter choice data source. You need to resolve the excel filter data source using the dataSource resolver function from the state argument as follows.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-grid :dataSource='data' :allowPaging='true' :pageSettings='pageOptions' :allowSorting='true' :allowGrouping='true' :dataStateChange='dataStateChange' :filterSettings='filterOptions'>
            <e-columns>
                <e-column field= "OrderID" headerText="Order ID" width="130" textAlign='Right' ></e-column>
                <e-column field= "CustomerID" headerText="Customer Name" width="150"></e-column>
                <e-column field= "ShipName" headerText="Ship Name" width="200"></e-column>
                <e-column field= "ShipCity" headerText="Ship City" width="150"></e-column>
            </e-columns>
        </ejs-grid>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { GridPlugin, DataStateChangeEventArgs, Sorts, Sort, Group, Page, DataResult, Filter } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids";
import { Ajax } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

Vue.use(GridPlugin);

export default Vue.extend({
  data() {
    return {
      data: {},
      filterOptions: { type: 'Excel' },
      pageOptions: { pageSize: 10, pageCount: 4 },
      orderService: new OrderService()
    };
  },
  mounted() {
    let state = { skip: 0, take: 10 };
    this.dataStateChange(state);
  },
  methods:{
    dataStateChange: function (state) {
        if (state.action.requestType === "filterchoicerequest" || state.action.requestType ==="filtersearchbegin") {
      this.orderService.execute(state).then((e) => state.dataSource(e));
    } else {
      this.orderService.execute(state).then(( gridData ) => {this.grid.dataSource = gridData} );
    }
    }
  },
  provide: {
      grid: [Sort, Group, Page, Filter]
  }
});
</script>
<style>
 @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids/styles/material.css";
</style>

Binding with ajax

You can use Grid dataSource property to bind the datasource to Grid from external ajax request. In the below code we have fetched the datasource from the server with the help of ajax request and provided that to dataSource property by using onSuccess event of the ajax.

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-button v-on:click.native="btnClick">Play</ejs-button>
        <ejs-grid>
            <e-columns>
                <e-column field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' textAlign='Right' width=120 ></e-column>
                <e-column field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' textAlign='Right' width=120 ></e-column>
                <e-column field='EmployeeID' headerText='Employee ID' textAlign='Right' width=120 ></e-column>
                <e-column field='ShipCountry' headerText='Ship Country' textAlign='Right' width=120 ></e-column>
            </e-columns>
        </ejs-grid>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { GridPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids";
import { ButtonPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons";
import { Ajax } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

Vue.use(GridPlugin);
Vue.use(ButtonPlugin);

export default Vue.extend({
  data() {
    return {
      data: {}
    };
  },
  methods:{
   btnClick: function (args){
        var grid = document.getElementsByClassName("e-grid")[0].ej2_instances[0]; // Grid instance
        var ajax = new Ajax("https://ej2services.syncfusion.com/production/web-services/api/Orders", "GET");
        ajax.send();
        ajax.onSuccess = function (result) {
        grid.dataSource = JSON.parse(result);
        };
      }
  }
});
</script>
