Get row for cell menu item

[prashantgoel]

In this example:

https://bryntum.com/products/grid/examples/contextmenu/

When a menu item is clicked (example "Copy"), how do I get the row for which the menu item has been clicked? I need to be able to read the value from a field in that row to perform some action.

Hey prashantgoel,

Thanks for reaching out!

You can use the following approach (you can test on the demo that you mentioned)

features : {
        cellMenu     : {
		items : {
			copy: {
 				onItem: ({record}) => {
					console.log(record)
				}
			}
		}
	}
}

We were given this code earlier to add a widget as a custom column at the end. Should this also work, or am I doing something wrong? The "record" is returned as undefined in the console.

                

                widgets: [{
                    type: 'button',
                    icon: 'b-fa b-fa-fw b-fa-ellipsis-v',
                    menu: {
                        type: 'menu',
                        anchor: true,
                        autoShow: false,
                        items: [
                            {
                                icon: 'fa fa-fw fa-file-signature',
                                text: 'View Responses'
                            },
                            {
                                icon: 'fa fa-fw fa-times-circle',
                                text: 'Clear Consent',
                                field: 'personID'
                            },
                            {
                                icon: 'fa fa-fw fa-file-signature',
                                text: 'Survey List (Read-Only)'
                            }
                            

                    ],
                   
                    // Method is called for all ancestor levels
                    onItem: ({ item, record, column }) => {
                        console.log('item is', record );

                       
                    }
              }]

Hi,

Please check this thread to get the code viewtopic.php?p=138820#p138820
You'd need to use https://www.bryntum.com/products/grid/docs/api/Grid/view/GridBase#function-getRecordFromElement to get the record from the element

Hope I understood your requirement

Here's how to do it: https://codepen.io/Animal-Nige/pen/KKEQxGa?editors=0010

We will make the cellInfo contextual information block public. The example in the API docs uses it, so it should be documented: https://www.bryntum.com/products/grid/docs/api/Grid/column/WidgetColumn

Also, we will illustrate usage of object as items which is best practice, so that there is always a ref which can identify a widget.
