save/restore column visbility and order

[Thanood]

Is it somehow possible to restore a certain order of columns? Let's say I let the user move columns around. I want my app to save this new order so that the user sees the same order he "left" with when he opens the app next time.

For this I would need to read the column order, save it somewhere (localStorage f.i.) and then set it again when loading the app.

Think we should be able to do something like that. I havent added the option to create column setup with binding a configuration, but that and a way to get the current setup would fix it. Could be useful to just have a get and set function for this, so you could have multiple option not just duing load, sometimes when working with data your column setup really depends on what you are doing at that moment

Perfect! 👍

If you clone repo you can check a early version of this, in the long run this will need some work, but something to work on.

PS! row-repeat wont work with this this.. ( I think... maybe it does, really dont know)

[vegarringdal]

just select this navigation, edit the column setup and click saveColConfig, then go to the first and back again, it should remember the column setup

[Thanood]

Wow, you're fast. 👍 I will clone it tomorrow, anyway.

row-repeat wont work with this this..

With row-repeat have literally full control anyway, right? :smiley:

[vegarringdal]

yes.

but pinned columns might work at the same time, if it does Im not sure if I should call it feature or bug :joy:

u trying to use the grid with real data will prb help a lot seeing missing parts, stuff that needs to improve, esp on the datasource, and prb gridconnector too. thats the 2 of 3 replacable part (that I want to be replaceable ) selection is the 3 :-) just need to get them 100% for local array before creating interfaces.

[vegarringdal]

Added a set function too, since you missed that a lot :-)

[Thanood]

Thank you so much! :smiley:

[vegarringdal]

fixed this so if you set null it restores grid to default column set in html (this will not work with the html row-repeat)

[vegarringdal]

Sum up this:

Get:

let columnConfigArray = this.gridConnector.getColConfig();

Set

this.gridConnector.getColConfig(columnConfigArray);

Set default

this.gridConnector.getColConfig(null);

[Thanood]

Nice, thanks! :+1: Would it be possible to, for example read the columns, set the column templates to null, then set the columns so order etc. is restored but only the col templates are taken from default?

[vegarringdal]

this.gridConnector.getColConfig(null) restores default set in the html, even if you havent read any columns first, or did I just misunderstand where you where headed with this? :-)

[Thanood]

Yes. :smiley: In short: I want to save all column parameters but I'd like to be able to reset only the template. I thought the best way to do it is this.gridConnector.setColConfig(config) with a config that has all templates set to null. config itself is not null.

[vegarringdal]

but I'd like to be able to reset only the template

Not sure if Im following you here, if you dont have custom html making you columns, you can clear out the colRowTemplate & colheaderTemplate, that will be rebuild. If you have custom html making you column then you cant, since thats what Im putting inside in the columns in the rows. I could maybe try and split these later, making it easier to know whats generated by grid, and whats generated by you.

Adding this should solve this ? Give better control over it atleast https://github.com/vegarringdal/vGrid/issues/68

[vegarringdal]

this should be solved, just reopen if I missed something
