Editors

Jspreadsheet editors will enhance the user experience and transform any application into a powerful data management tool. There are several native editors and the developer can create or integrate plugins to create new custom data editors. The current native editors are: text, numeric, hidden, dropdown, checkbox, radio, calendar, image, color, email, url, progressbar, rating, autonumber, HTML, percent and notes.

Custom editor

A custom editor requires the implementation of five different methods, as described in the table below:

Method Description
createCell When a new cell is created.
createCell(cell: Object, value: Any, x: Number, y: Number, instance: Object, options: Object) : void
updateCell When the cell value changes.
updateCell(cell: Object, value: Any, x: Number, y: Number, instance: Object, options: Object) : void
openEditor When the user starts editing a cell.
openEditor(cell: Object, value: Any, x: Number, y: Number, instance: Object, options: Object) : void
closeEditor When the user finalizes the edit of a cell.
closeEditor(cell: Object, confirmChanges: Boolean, x: Number, y: Number, instance: Object, options: Object) : void
destroyCell When a cell is destroyed.
destroyCell(cell: Object, x: Number, y: Number, instance: Object) : void
get Transform the raw data into processed data. It will show text instead of an id in the type dropdown, for example.
get(options: Object, value: Any) : processedValue

Custom editor

The following example implements a simple custom data editor.

let percent = function() {
    let methods = {};

    methods.updateCell = function(cell, value, x, y, instance) {
        value = Number(value) || 0;
        if (cell) {
            cell.innerText = value + '%';
        }
        return value / 100;
    }

    methods.createCell = methods.updateCell;

    methods.openEditor = function(cell, value, x, y, instance) {
        instance.parent.input.onblur = function() {
            instance.closeEditor(cell, true);
        }
        if (value) {
            instance.parent.input.innerText = (Number(value)) * 100;
        }
        jSuites.focus(instance.parent.input);
    }

    methods.closeEditor = function(cell, save, x, y, instance) {
        if (save) {
            let value = Number(instance.parent.input.innerText);
        } else {
            let value = '';
        }

        return value;
    }

    methods.get = function(options, val) {
        return (val * 100) + '%';
    }

    return methods;
}();

Using a custom editor

Considering the percent editor above, the column.type defines a native or custom editor, as follows:

<div id="spreadsheet"></div>

<script>
let data = [
    ['PHP', '1'],
    ['Javascript', '0.4'],
];
