16 Mar 20234 minutes to read

You can render the custom component in frozen columns using edit params.

In the following example, we have rendered the Datepicker component to the OrderDate column. Here the datepicker object is appended to the corresponding input element in the editing row.

app.vue

<template>
  <div id="app">
    <ejs-grid :frozenColumns="2" :dataSource="data" :editSettings="editSettings" :toolbar="toolbar"
      height="273px">
      <e-columns>
        <e-column field="OrderID" headerText="Order ID" :isPrimaryKey="true" width="100"></e-column>
        <e-column field="CustomerID" headerText="Customer ID" width="120"></e-column>
        <e-column field="ShipCity" headerText="Ship City" textAlign="Right" width="120"></e-column>
        <e-column field="OrderDate" headerText="Order Date" type="date" format="yMd"
          :edit="dpParams" width="150"></e-column>
      </e-columns>
    </ejs-grid>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import Vue from "vue";
import {
  GridPlugin,
  Page,
  Freeze,
  Toolbar,
  Edit
} from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-grids";
import { DatePicker } from "@syncfusion/ej2-calendars";
import { data } from "./datasource.js";

Vue.use(GridPlugin);

let elem;
let datePickerObj;

export default {
  data() {
    return {
      data: data,
      editSettings: {
        allowEditing: true,
        allowAdding: true,
        allowDeleting: true
      },
      toolbar: ["Add", "Edit", "Delete", "Update", "Cancel"],
      dpParams: {
        create: function() {
          elem = document.createElement("input");
          return elem;
        },
        read: () => {
          return datePickerObj.value;
        },
        destroy: () => {
          datePickerObj.destroy();
        },
        write: args => {
          datePickerObj = new DatePicker({
            value: new Date(args.rowData[args.column.field]),
            floatLabelType: "Never"
          });
          datePickerObj.appendTo(args.element);
        }
      }
    };
  },
  provide: {
    grid: [Page, Edit, Toolbar, Freeze]
  }
};
