Get primary key value for row deletion
posted

I have a delete function that calls .igGridUpdating("deleteRow", rowId, tr) for row deletion. How can I get the actual primary key value (rowId) of the row? Passing the selected row index does not work in the server side.

I was trying to get the rowId from the rowDeleting(evt, ui) event but the event wasn't fired in my scenario:

1) select a row

2) click a Delete button to call the delete function.

As long as I can get the rowId for deleteRow(), either triggering from an event or making a function call would work for me. 

Thanks!

    Hi Erica,

    First you should declare igGrid.primaryKey option. This ensures that each table TR element will have data-id attribute containing the value of the PK.

    When you call igGridSelection.selectedRows methods you'll get the selected TR's. From them you can extract the data-id attribute value and pass it to the igGridUpdating.deleteRow method.

    I've attached a sample which demonstrates this.
