Kendo-angular: Grid with Batch Editing

[ultimatejasper]

Hi,

I am looking for batch editing like kendo ui :) http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/editing
do you have any plan to come out with RC version?
Thanks

Currently there is only an example for editing with external form. Angular forms gives you very flexible way of building edit forms.

We are also working on "inline" editing mode for the Grid. You can check this issue for more details.

"incell" editing is not in our immediate plans. However it shouldn't be hard to achieve similar behavior by using CellTemplateDirective with current version of the Grid component.

Hi rusev,

Thanks for your info.:)

For us incell editing is even more important than inline editing...

May we should rename this issue to "Grid with in-cell editing" then? Batch editing is a bit misleading as we have no control over how the updates are posted.

I am actually trying to achieve this using the kendoGridCellTemplate, the form is dataArray. As long as i only edit current rows its working (e.g updating the values of the form), but when i push another row to the form(dataArray), every other input on the other rows gets blank, however when i log the value of the dataArray the values are still there, but they are not shown in the input in the grid.

 <kendo-grid
        [data]="dataArray"
        [sortable]="true"
        [selectable]="true"
        [sort]="sort" (sortChange)="sortChange($event)" (selectionChange)="selectChange($event)">

        <kendo-grid-column field="longtext" title="Text *">
          <template kendoGridCellTemplate let-dataItem let-rowIndex="rowIndex">
                <input [(ngModel)]="dataItem.longtext" name="longtext" #longtext="ngModel" >
          </template>
        </kendo-grid-column>
</kendo-grid>

+1 for supporting in-cell editing

[tsvetomir]

Dedicated support for in-cell editing is on our roadmap for our autumn release. I'm closing this issue as we don't have a good workaround for the current version.

I was able to change kendo angular grid's custom editing functionality to achieve something in line with batch/cell editing. Please see this stackoverflow answer.

@codehippie1 great example, however I can't seem to get a handle for the grid - I noticed you used the "#grid" for that - it's not working for me - which version of the grid are you using in your example?

[TheoGit]

@codehippie1 actually I figured out the handle for the grid - closeRow is not working - any ideas?

@tsvetomir Is in-cell editing still on the roadmap for the autumn release?

[tsvetomir]

@DotNetPart indeed, it's actually available in the development builds, see plunkr.

We'll need about a week for some last-minute adjustments and testing.

@tsvetomir thanks! Looking forward to getting this.
