The igGrid control is a jQuery grid that includes user interaction features like filtering, grouping, column hiding and resizing, paging, row and cell selection, sorting, summaries, tooltips, and data editing capabilities.

Note: The igGrid is a stand-alone control as well as the base for the igHierarchicalGrid control. Each API that applies to igGrid also applies to the igHierarchicalGrid control.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to initialize the igGrid control.

Related Samples

accessibilityRendering

Type:: bool
Default:: false

*** IMPORTANT DEPRECATED ***
This option has been deprecated as of the June 2015 service release. Accessibility rendering is always performed by the igGrid as of version 14.2.

Code Sample

 
        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igGrid({
            accessibilityRendering : true
        });
        
        //Get
        var accessibilityRendering = $(".selector").igGrid("option", "accessibilityRendering");

adjustVirtualHeights

Type:

bool

Default:

false
If this option is set to true, the height of the grid row will be calculated automatically based on the average row height and the visible virtual records. If no average row height is specified, one will be calculated automatically at runtime.
Code Sample
```
        
        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igGrid({
            adjustVirtualHeights : true
        });

        //Get
        var virtualHeights = $(".selector").igGrid("option", "adjustVirtualHeights");
        
```
aggregateTransactions

Type:

bool

Default:

false
If set to true, the following behavior will take place:
if a new row is added, and then deleted, there will be no transaction added to the log
if a new row is added, edited, then deleted, there will be no transaction added to the log
if several edits are made to a row or an individual cell, this should result in a single transaction
Note: This option takes effect only when autoCommit is set to false.
Code Sample
```
        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igGrid({
            aggregateTransactions : true
        });
        
        //Get
        var aggregateTransactions = $(".selector").igGrid("option", "aggregateTransactions");
      
```

alternateRowStyles

Type:: bool
Default:: true

Enables/disables rendering of alternating row styles (odd and even rows receive different styling). Note that if a custom jQuery template is set, this has no effect and CSS for the row should be adjusted manually in the template contents.

Code Sample

 
        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igGrid({
            alternateRowStyles : true;
        });

        //Get
        var rowAltStyles = $(".selector").igGrid("option", "alternateRowStyles");
        
        //Set
        $(".selector").igGrid("option", "alternateRowStyles", true);

autoAdjustHeight

Type:

bool

Default:

true
If autoAdjustHeight is set to false, the options.height will be set only on the scrolling container, and all other UI elements such as paging footer / filter row/ headers will add on top of that, so the total height of the grid will be more than this value - the height of the scroll container (content area) will not be dynamically calculated. Setting this option to false will usually result in a lot better initial rendering performance for large data sets ( > 1000 rows rendered at once, no virtualization enabled), since no reflows will be made by browsers when accessing DOM properties such as offsetHeight.
Code Sample
```
 
        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igGrid({
            autoAdjustHeight : true
        });

        //Get
        var adjustHeight = $(".selector").igGrid("option", "autoAdjustHeight");
        
```

autoCommit

Type:: bool
Default:: false

Automatically commits the transactions as rows/cells are being edited.

Code Sample

 
        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igGrid({
            autoCommit : true
        });

        //Get
        var commit = $(".selector").igGrid("option", "autoCommit");

autofitLastColumn

Type:

bool

Default:

true
If autofitLastColumn is true and all columns' widths are specified and their combined width is less than the grid width then the last column width will be automatically adjusted to fill the entire grid.
Code Sample
```
  
        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igGrid({
            autofitLastColumn : true
        });
     
        //Get
        var autoFit = $(".selector").igGrid("option", "autofitLastColumn");
      
```
autoFormat

Type:

enumeration

Default:

date
Sets gets ability to automatically format text in cells for numeric and date columns. The format patterns and rules for numbers and dates are defined in $.ig.regional.defaults object. date formats only Date columns.
Members

- true
- Type:bool
- formats Date and number columns.

        });

        //Get
        var autoFormat = $(".selector").igGrid("option", "autoFormat");
        
```
autoGenerateColumns

Type:

bool

Default:

true
If no columns collection is defined, and autoGenerateColumns is set to true, columns will be inferred from the data source. If autoGenerateColumns is not explicitly set and columns has at least one column defined then autoGenerateColumns is automatically set to false.
Code Sample
```
 
        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igGrid({
            autoGenerateColumns : false
        });

        //Get

format

Type:

string

Default:

null
Sets gets format for cells in column. Default value is null.
If dataType is "date", then supported formats are following: "date", "dateLong", "dateTime", "time", "timeLong", "MM/dd/yyyy", "MMM-d, yy, h:mm:ss tt", "dddd d MMM", etc.
If dataType is "number", then supported numeric formats are following: "number", "currency", "percent", "int", "double", "0.00", "#.0####", "0", "#.#######", etc.
The value of "double" will be similar to "number", but with unlimited maximum number of decimal places.
The format patterns and rules for numbers and dates are defined in $.ig.regional.defaults object.
If dataType is "string" or not set, then format is rendered as it is with replacement of possible "{0}" flag by value in cell. Example, if format is set to "Name: {0}" and value in cell is "Bob", then value will appear as "Name: Bob"
If value is set to "checkbox", then checkboxes are used regardless of renderCheckboxes option of igGrid. That has effect only when dataType option of column is set to "bool".

        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igGrid({

This will allow usage of column / row templates in jQuery Templating style. If virtualization is enabled, it is advised to keep this option to "false", in order to have better scrolling/rendering performance.
Code Sample

        $(".selector").igGrid({
            jQueryTemplating : true

virtualization

Type:

bool

false
Enables/disables virtualization. Virtualization can greatly enhance rendering performance.

Code Sample
```
 
        //Initialize
        $(".selector").igGrid({
            virtualization : true
        });
