Grouping in Vue Grid component

The Grid has options to group records by dragging and dropping the column header to the group drop area. When grouping is applied, grid records are organized into a hierarchical structure to facilitate easier expansion and collapse of records.

To enable Grouping in the grid, set the allowGrouping to true. Grouping options can be configured in groupSettings.

To use Grouping, you need to inject Group module in the provide section.

To get start quickly with Grouping Options, you can check on this video:

Group with Paging

On grouping columns with paging feature, the aggregated information and total items are displayed based on the current page. The grid does not consider aggregated information and total items from other pages. To get additional details (aggregated information and total items) from other pages, set the groupSettings.disablePageWiseAggregates to true.

If remote data is bound to grid dataSource, two requests will be sent when performing grouping action; one for getting the grouped data and another for getting aggregate details and total items count.

Group by format

By default, columns will be grouped by the data or value present for the particular row. To group numeric or datetime column based on the mentioned format, you have to enable the enableGroupByFormat property of the corresponding grid columns.

Grouping Events

During the group action, the grid component triggers two events. The actionBegin event triggers before the group action starts and the actionComplete event triggers after the group action is completed. Using these events you can perform any action.

args.requestType is current action name. For example in grouping, the args.requestType value is grouping.

Reordering on Grouped Columns

Grid provides an option to interchange the position of the Grouped Columns by dragging and dropping the grouped headercells in the droparea. So, any new column entering into the droparea can also be dropped in any position.

To enable this feature, you have to set the groupSettings.allowReordering property as true.

Lazy Load Grouping

The lazy load grouping allows you to load grouped records to the Grid through the on-demand concept. So, you can use this feature to load a huge amount of grouped data to the Grid without any performance degradation.

When you enable this feature, the Grid will render only the initial level caption rows in the collapsed state at grouping. The child rows of each caption will be fetched from the server and render in the Grid when you expand the caption row. The fetching child records count will be implicitly determined by the content area occupying rows count. So, if the child records exceed the count, then the Grid will request the server again to fetch the next block of child records on scrolling.

The caption row expand/collapse state will be persisted on paging and Grid pages count will be determined based on the caption rows count instead of the child rows.

To enable this feature, you have to set the groupSettings.enableLazyLoading property as true.

Handling the lazy load grouping at server-side

You can use the UrlAdaptor of DataManager when binding the remote data. Along with the default server request, this feature will additionally send the below details to handle the lazy load grouping. In the server end, these details are bound with the IsLazyLoad and OnDemandGroupInfo parameters in the DataManagerRequest model. Please refer to the below table and screenshots.

Property Name Description
isLazyLoad To differentiate the default grouping and lazy load grouping
onDemandGroupInfo Have the details of expanded caption row grouping level, skip, take and filter query of the child records

IsLazyLoad

OnDemandGroupInfo

The following code example describes the lazy load grouping handled at the server-side with other the grid actions.

public IActionResult UrlDatasource([FromBody] DataManagerRequest dm)
{
    IEnumerable groupedData = null;
    IEnumerable<Customers> DataSource = customers;
    DataOperations operation = new DataOperations();

    if (dm.Search != null && dm.Search.Count > 0)
    {
        DataSource = operation.PerformSearching(DataSource, dm.Search);  //Search
    }
    if (dm.Sorted != null && dm.Sorted.Count > 0) //Sorting
    {
        DataSource = operation.PerformSorting(DataSource, dm.Sorted);
    }
    if (dm.Where != null && dm.Where.Count > 0) //Filtering
    {
        DataSource = operation.PerformFiltering(DataSource, dm.Where, dm.Where[0].Operator);
    }
    int count = DataSource.Cast<Customers>().Count();
    if (dm.IsLazyLoad == false && dm.Skip != 0)
    {
        DataSource = operation.PerformSkip(DataSource, dm.Skip); // Paging
    }
    if (dm.IsLazyLoad == false && dm.Take != 0)
    {
        DataSource = operation.PerformTake(DataSource, dm.Take);
    }
    if (dm.IsLazyLoad)
    {
        groupedData = operation.PerformGrouping<Customers>(DataSource, dm); // Lazy load grouping
        if (dm.OnDemandGroupInfo != null && dm.Group.Count() == dm.OnDemandGroupInfo.Level)
        {
            count = groupedData.Cast<Customers>().Count();
        }
        else
        {
            count = groupedData.Cast<Group>().Count();
        }
        groupedData = operation.PerformSkip(groupedData, dm.OnDemandGroupInfo == null ? dm.Skip : dm.OnDemandGroupInfo.Skip);
        groupedData = operation.PerformTake(groupedData, dm.OnDemandGroupInfo == null ? dm.Take : dm.OnDemandGroupInfo.Take);
    }
return dm.RequiresCounts ? Json(new { result = groupedData == null ? DataSource : groupedData, count = count }) : Json(DataSource);
}

Limitations for Lazy load grouping

  • Due to the element height limitation in browsers, the maximum number of records loaded by the grid is limited due to the browser capability.
  • DataManager’s UrlAdaptor and JsonAdaptor only have the built-in lazy load grouping support.
  • Lazy load grouping is not compatible with virtualization, infinite scroll and batch editing, row template etc.
  • Programmatic selection is not supported.
