Poor documentation
posted

Hi guys,

My company has asked me to evaluate your IgniteUI product, and so far, I've had nothing but problems.

For example, I want to use the IgniteUI ig-grid control with Angular.  Pure Angular... no messing around with jQuery calls, etc.

Your scarce examples seem to all use hardcoded Northwind JSON data, and I can't find a simple ig-grid / Angular example to learn from.

For example, in this thread, a user asked how to call a function if a user clicks on a row.

http://es.infragistics.com/community/forums/t/101555.aspx

The answer was to use "event-active-row-changed", but their follow-up question, "Where is this actually documented ?" was ignored.


I have the same kind of issue.

I want to kick off a function in my Angular controller when the user has edited something (in-line) in their ig-grid  (so I can kick off a WCF web service to save the changes back to SQL Server), but I can't find any example code anywhere.  

I'm sure there's a simple answer to this, but your documentation and examples are hopeless, or resort to using jQuery.


Can someone help, please ?


Mike

    I should add, I'm happy for the "on save" event to trigger a REST web service, but, again, I would like an example showing how this can be achieved using the ig-grid Angular control.

    http://www.igniteui.com/help/iggrid-rest-updating

    Here's how far I've got, without an examples to help me:

    <ig-grid id="iggrid1"
    data-source="ListOfRecords"
    width="100%"
    height="240px"
    primary-key="UserID"
    auto-commit="true"
    auto-generate-columns="false">
    <columns>
    . . .
    </columns>
    <features>
    <feature name="Updating" enable-add-row="true">
    <column-settings>
    <column-setting column-key="UserID" read-only="true">
    </column-setting>
    </column-settings>
    </feature>
    <rest-settings>
    <create url="/api/users/">
    </create>
    </rest-settings>
    <feature name="Selection" >
    </feature>
    <feature name="Updating">
    </feature>
    </features>
    </ig-grid>

    The grid displays some data, I can edit it and add rows, and when I click on Done, the Angular variable does get updated, but the REST URL doesn't get called, and I can't find any sample code to get this working.
