How to maintain expand/collapsed state of rows during page refresh in Vue TreeGrid?
This article explains how to maintain the expand/collapse state of rows during a page refresh in Vue TreeGrid.
You can maintain expand/collapse state of rows during a page refresh using the dataBound event.
- You can save the collapsed records to localStorage in collapsed event of Tree Grid by using the method setItem method.
- On page refresh, dataBound event will be triggered. In that event, retrieve the saved records by using the method getItem method and collapse the specific rows by using the collapseRow method of Tree Grid by passing the row detail.
