I'm working with Handsontable to create a web grid that can copy / paste between web and excel, I tried with code below and it works fine:
var first = true;
var exampleGrid = $("#exampleGrid");
exampleGrid.handsontable({
rowHeaders: true,
colHeaders: true,
stretchH: 'all',
minSpareCols: 0,
minSpareRows: 0,
height: 600,
columns: [
{ data: "Id", title: "ID", type: "text" }, //'text' is default, you don't actually have to declare it
{ data: "Name", title: "Name", type: "text" },
{ data: "DisplayColor",
title: "Display Color",
type: 'autocomplete',
source: ["yellow", "red", "orange", "green", "blue", "gray", "black", "white"]
},
{ data: "Description", title: "Description", type: 'text' },
{ data: "IsDeleted", title: "Is Deleted", type: 'checkbox' }
],
colWidths: [400, 100, 60, 100, 50, 40, 40, 60], //can also be a number or a function
contextMenu: false,
});
Now I need create web grid with dynamic columns, I tried replace the column list with function below, but it does not works:
columns:
function () {
var cols = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
var col = new Object();
col.data = "Name";
col.title = "Name" + i.toString();
col.type = "text";
cols[i] = col;
}
return cols;
},
Is it possible to create dynamic columns in Handsontable grid? and how to do it?
I'm a JavaScript beginner, so please tell me if there is any error I made, thanks!
Resolved this problem by myself, function can not be used in column definition directly, but variable is allowed, so code below works:
var dynamicColumns = [];
for (var i = 0; i < 366; i++) {
var col = new Object();
col.data = "Name";
col.title = "Name " + i.toString();
col.type = "text";
dynamicColumns.push(col);
}
skillGrid.handsontable({
// ...
columns: dynamicColumns,
// ...
