Hi,
For the groupBy feature of the grid, i'd like to have the groupedRowTextTemplate based on values from multiple columns, but i can figure it out how to do it.
for example : i have in my grid a bunch of columns : Id, Name, SecurityNum, EventDate, etc...
how can i have in the groupeRowTextTemplate of the grid, if i group by Name , something like this :
'<input type="checkbox" value="${Id}" /> ${val} , ${SecurityNum}, (${count}) '
I have access only to ${key}, ${val} and ${count} of the grouped column. How can i have access to the others ?
Moreover, it seems that i can only use ${key|val|count} only once . If i wanted to have something like :
groupeRowTextTemplate : '<input type="checkbox" value="${val}" /> ${val}, (${count})' . The second time i'm using ${val}, it's not displayed the actual value !.Is there a way to handle this ?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards
Sofiane
Hello Sofiane,
Thank you for posting in our forums!
What are you trying to accomplish with having other column values in the groupedRow? An issue I see with this is that multiple rows can be in a single group in the grid. There is no way to specify which row you want to pull the ${Id}/{SecurityNum} from. If you need this functionality, please submit a new Product Idea.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your answer.
What i'm try to achieve is to display in the grouping row multiple common values for a specific group.
For example : let's say that i have a datasource like that :
datasource = [
{ id : 1, result : 6, description : 'result 1 ' , relatedTo : 'John Doe', documentID : 12 , eventDate : new Date(2015,12,26)},
{ id : 3, result : 7, description : 'result 2 ' , relatedTo : 'Paul Smith', documentID : 2 , eventDate : new Date(2015,01,10)},
{ id : 9, result : 15, description : 'another one ' , relatedTo : 'John Doe', documentID : 12 , eventDate : new Date(2014,06,05)},
{ id : 12, result : 2, description : 'description result id 12 ' , relatedTo : 'Jane Manson', documentID : 32 , eventDate : new Date(2011,12,01)},
{ id : 26, result : 26, description : 'blablabla ' , relatedTo : 'Steeve Thomas', documentID : 24 , eventDate : new Date(2015,12,01)},
{ id : 33, result : 15, description : 'no comment ' , relatedTo : 'John Doe', documentID : 12 , eventDate : new Date(2015,12,01)},
];
If i group my grid by name ("relatedTo" column), i'd like to display in the grouping row all common values of the data :
* relatedTo : John Doe, DocID : 12 (3 elements) => id : 1, result : 6, eventDate : 26/12/2015, description : ... => id : 9, result : 9, eventDate : 05/06/2014, description : ... => id : 33, result : 15 , eventDate : 01/12/2015, description : ...
* relatedTo : Jane Manson, DocID : 32 (1 element) => id : 12, result : 2, eventDate : 26/12/2015, description : ...
etc....
If i know that some columns values are common to all data of a specific group, how can i use them ?
Is there a possiblity to delegate the groupedRowTextTemplate generation to an external function by passing a key maybe to access the datasource ?
I need to find a way to display in this groupedRowTemplate more than just one value .
Thank you in advance
actually i've just found it ! :) i'm using the RowRendered event and i can have the behavior that i want so far.!
So i found a way to get my headers how i wanted to be , ie : display more values from the datasource than only the $key, $val and $count. But i'm facing something weird.
I'm using the "groupedColumnsChanged" event to replace my headers, and it works fine , but i'm also hiding the grouped column from there, ie if i group by name i want to hide the name column, but i'm doing that ( calling ui.grid.hideColumn method ), my headers are rewritten using the groupedRowTextTemplace ( if its has some value , otherwise it returns empty string ).
is there an event that occurs i can use after calling ui.grid.hideColumn method ?
Thank you in advance ?
Regards
In fact, the property "groupedRowTextTemplate" could call a function, i can pass to it a parameter ( the ${val} of the column ), and maybe i can request the datasource to retrieve extra informations in order to build a complex template row.
I'll will try this option if there is no other option from the grid itself.
thank you
