Is it possible to have a hidden column in slickgrid? By hidden column I mean I want to save some data for each row, but I don't want this data to be shown on the grid.
There is no implied relationship between the data and the columns in the grid - the two exist completely independent of each other. So your data can contain many more fields than are actually bound to grid columns.
Example:
var grid;
var columns = [
{id: "title", name: "Title", field: "title"},
{id: "duration", name: "Duration", field: "duration"},
{id: "%", name: "% Complete", field: "percentComplete"},
{id: "effort-driven", name: "Effort Driven", field: "effortDriven"}
];
var options = {
enableCellNavigation: true,
enableColumnReorder: false
};
$(function () {
var data = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 500; i++) {
data[i] = {
title: "Task " + i,
duration: "5 days",
percentComplete: Math.round(Math.random() * 100),
start: "01/01/2009",
finish: "01/05/2009",
effortDriven: (i % 5 == 0)
};
}
grid = new Slick.Grid("#myGrid", data, columns, options);
})
Here my data
array contains fields start
and finish
but I have chosen to exclude them when creating my columns
array.
