api.setNext()

Description

Allows adding some action into the Event Bus order

Usage

Example

In the example below we include the RestDataProvider service into the Event Bus order to perform operations with data (adding, deleting, and etc.) and send the corresponding requests to the server.

import { RestDataProvider } from "@wx/table-data-provider";
import { Grid } from "@wx/react-grid";
import { useRef, useEffect, useState } from 'react';

const columns = [
    {
        id: "name",
        header: "Title",
        flexgrow: 1,
        sort: true,
        editor: "text",
    },
    {
        id: "year",
        header: "Year",
        width: 100,
        sort: true,
        editor: "text",
    },
    {
        id: "votes",
        header: "Votes",
        width: 100,
        sort: true,
        editor: "text",
    },
];

let data = [];

const provider = new RestDataProvider("https://some-backend-url", (obj) => {
    obj.year = obj.year * 1;
    obj.votes = obj.votes * 1;
});
provider.getData().then((v) => data = v);

export default function App() {
    const api = useRef(null);

    const addRow = () => {
        api.current.exec("add-row", {
            row: { name: "New Film", year: 2022, votes: 1 },
        });
    };

    const init = () => {
        api.current.setNext(provider);
    };
    
    return (
        <div>
            <button onClick={addRow}  className="primary">Add Row</button>
            <Grid
                data={data}
                columns={columns}
                api={api}
                init={init}
            />
        </div>
    );
}

button.primary {
    // Example styles
}
