Setting Cell Editability

Editability Use Cases

There are many use cases when AdapTable will asses whether a given Cell in AG Grid is editable, e.g.:

• When the user starts editing a cell directly
• Rendering the ReadOnly or Editable Cell Styles
• Providing the Smart Edit or Bulk Update menu items for the Context Menu
• When opening a Row Form field

Setting Readonly Columns

There are 2 main ways in which cells (or columns) can be marked as editable or readonly:

• The colDef.editable in AG Grid GridOptions - a boolean (or boolean callback)

  Note

  • Like all ColDef properties, this defaults to false so, if not provided, the Column is readonly
  • And, like all ColDef properties, it can be set directly in each Column or by using defaultColDef

• The isCellEditable function in Edit Options

AdapTable Rules of Evaluation

AdapTable takes account of both of these of ways to set cell editability.

First it will evaluate the isCellEditable property in Edit Options, if provided, and return the result.

If isCellEditable is not provided, AdapTable will evaluate colDef.editable in GridOptions - either as a boolean property or callback.
