How to edit a column using dropdown component in AngularJS editable data grid?
2 mins read
By default, AngularJS data grid renders textbox component for all editable columns. Also, it offers the following in-built editor components to edit a column value based on the corresponding column data type. In this article, we are going to render a dropdownlist component while editing a Ship Country column (string column) for this we need to set columns.editType property as 'dropdownedit' for the corresponding column.
- NumericTextBox Component for integers, double and decimal data types.
- TextBox Component for string data type.
- DropdownList Component to show all unique values related to that field.
- CheckBox Component for Boolean data type.
- DatePicker Component for date data type.
- DateTimePicker Component for date time data type.
This article explains how to render dropdownlist component for string column instead of default textbox in grid edit mode.
