Enable editing in single click in Vue Grid component

Normal Editing

You can make a row editable on a single click with Normal mode of editing in Grid, by using the startEdit and endEdit methods.

Bind the mouseup event for Grid and in the event handler call the startEdit and endEdit, based on the clicked target element.

app.vue

<template>
    <div id="app">
        <ejs-grid ref='grid' id='grid' :dataSource='data' :load='load' :editSettings='editSettings' :toolbar='toolbar' :allowPaging="true">
            <e-columns>
                <e-column field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' textAlign='Right' width=100 :isPrimaryKey='true'></e-column>
                <e-column field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width=120></e-column>
                <e-column field='Freight' headerText='Freight' textAlign='Right' width=120 format='C2'></e-column>
                <e-column field='ShipCountry' headerText='Ship Country' width=150></e-column>
            </e-columns>
        </ejs-grid>
    </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import { GridPlugin, Edit  } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids";
import { data } from './datasource.js';

Vue.use(GridPlugin);

export default {
  data: function() {
    return {
      data: data,
      editSettings: { allowEditing: true, allowAdding: true, allowDeleting: true, mode: 'Normal' },
       toolbar: ['Add', 'Edit', 'Delete', 'Update', 'Cancel']
    };
  },
  methods: {
      load: function() {
        this.$refs.grid.ej2Instances.element.addEventListener('mouseup', function(e) {
            var instance = this.ej2_instances[0];
            if (e.target.classList.contains("e-rowcell")) {
            if (instance.isEdit)
                instance.endEdit();
                let index = parseInt(e.target.getAttribute("Index"));
                instance.selectRow(index);
                instance.startEdit();
            };
        });
      }
  },

    grid: [Edit]

Open dropdown edit popup on single click

You can open the default dropdown edit popup with single click edit by focusing the dropdown element and calling the EJ2 dropdown list’s showPopup method in the Grid’s actionComplete event. In this demo we have used a global flag variable in the mouseup event to ensure if the dropdown column is the clicked edit target.

app.vue

    <div id="app">
        <ejs-grid ref='grid' id='grid' :dataSource='data' :load='load' :actionComplete='onActionComplete' :editSettings='editSettings' :toolbar='toolbar' :allowPaging="true">
            <e-columns>
                <e-column field='OrderID' headerText='Order ID' textAlign='Right' width=100 :isPrimaryKey='true'></e-column>
                <e-column field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width=120></e-column>
                <e-column field='Freight' headerText='Freight' textAlign='Right' width=120 format='C2'></e-column>
                <e-column field='ShipCountry' headerText='Ship Country' editType='dropdownedit' width=150></e-column>
            </e-columns>
