Currently in fdp-table we have row clickable. But our business use case we need each cell in the row to be clickable.

Can you handle that on the application side No

@sahanaN123 There is nothing written in the ticket. Can you try to answer the questions and give us more context?

[sahanaN123]

@droshev : Currently in fdp-table we have entire to be row clickable. But for our business use case we need each cell in the row to be clickable. Attaching the recording from our existing UX . So we are expecting the same with NGX platform table as well. what do we expect from NGX?? we would like to have an event triggered when cell is clicked. so we will have our own logic further at application end. Also the focus should be moved to clicked cell.

@sahanaN123 you need to remove the internal solutions from external tickets.

[sahanaN123]

sure @droshev removed. But i had discussion with @mikerodonnell89 and shared the recording with him. So i hope he is clear on this issue.

[droshev]

@mikerodonnell89 @sahanaN123 - from the recording that i saw i think platform table doesn't look the best component for this feature. Maybe @sahanaN123 can go with a custom component?

[mikerodonnell89]

@sahanaN123 the recording you shared with me was relating to your other issue, #11638. For this issue we need more details about what needs to be passed with this event you'd like to have

[droshev]

@sahanaN123 Can you create a stackblitz example with your usecase and explain why you need to use the platform table

[sahanaN123]

@droshev : We are using fdp-table along with advance techniques to render complex tree table. So this component is the best option to render our data.

@mikerodonnell89 : We need an event to be triggered when user click on cell. So that we perform further actions at our end. Also the focus should be moved to that cell. Please consider that we have internally adding a input field for user to enter a value. So when they click on input field, that should not be consider as the cell click.

I have shared the recording with you on teams. Please do check.

I just checked and the video you sent me is about the tree table row expansion issue you filed.

@mikerodonnell89 : Also the focus should be moved to that cell.

Platform table cells are focused when they are clicked already

@mikerodonnell89 : We need an event to be triggered when user click on cell. So that we perform further actions at our end.

The table fires an event cellFocused you may find useful

You have explained that you'd like an event for a cell being clicked (and this should meet that criteria, but additionally this event is also fired when the user navigates to a cell using the keyboard). However you haven't explained what (if any) parameters you'd like to see passed through the event

cellFocused event looks like this in practice:

<fdp-table (cellFocused)="handleCellFocused($event)">

    handleCellFocused(event: any): void {
        console.log(event);
    }

[sahanaN123]

Sure @mikerodonnell89 . Let me try this and get back to you. Thanks

[droshev]

@sahanaN123 I think there isn't any issue to be solved here so i will close the issue. You can explore our documentation and you don't have to stop here. You can even check out the typescript source in the repository

@mikerodonnell89 / @droshev : We tested the suggested solution. but its meeting our expectation where in each cells are not clickable which deviates from our current UX. So we would ask to re-open the issue and provide us the solution where each cell be clickable and emit the event with cell details in the emitted event. I hope the concern is understood.

Cells are "clickable" - as made evident in some videos above. As for the event, what do you mean regarding "cell details"? The element itself? fd-table-cell component? Some object representing the data within a cell? Are you able to utilize the cellFocused event to get the cell you're looking for? You could also add event listeners to the cells after they're rendered: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener

[sahanaN123]

Are you saying that now cells are clickable in fdp-table?? Also yes, we would expect the object representing the cell data.
