Grid is a component for showing tabular data. A basic Grid uses plain text to display information in rows and columns. However, rich content can be used to provide additional information in a more legible fashion using component renderers or Lit renderers. The Grid supports the following features.

Dynamic Height:
Grid has a default height of 400 pixels. It becomes scrollable when its items overflow the allocated space. In addition to setting any fixed or relative value, the height of a grid can be set by the number of items in the dataset, meaning that the grid will grow and shrink based on the row count.

Selection:
Grid selection is not enabled by default. Grid supports single and multi-select. The former allows the user to select exactly one item while the latter enables multiple items to be selected. In single selection mode, the user can select and deselect rows by clicking anywhere on the row. In multi-select mode, the user can use a checkbox column to select and deselect rows.

Columns:
Column alignment, freezing (fixed position), grouping, headers & footers, visibility, and width can be configured. Users can be allowed to resize and reorder columns.

Sorting:
Any column can be made sortable. Enable sorting to allow the user to sort items alphabetically, numerically, by date, etc. You can also sort columns that contain rich and/or custom content by defining which property to sort by. For example, you can have a column containing a person’s profile picture, name and email sorted by the person’s last name. Sorting helps users find and analyze the data, so it’s generally recommended to enable it for all applicable columns, except in cases where the order of items is an essential part of the data itself (such as prioritized lists).

Filtering:
Filtering allows the user to quickly find a specific item or subset of items. You can add filters to Grid columns or use external filter fields.

Item Details:
Item Details are expandable content areas that can be displayed below the regular content of a row, used to display more information about an item. By default, an item’s details are toggled by clicking on the item’s row. The default toggle behavior can be replaced by programmatically toggling the details visibility, for example, from a button click.

Context Menu:
You can use Context Menu to provide shortcuts to the user. It appears on right (default) or left click. In a mobile browser, a long press opens the menu.

Drag and Drop:
Grid supports drag and drop, for example to reorder rows and to drag rows between grids.

Inline Editing:
Grid can be configured to allow inline editing. Editing can be either buffered and non-buffered. Buffered means changes must be explicitly committed, while non-buffered automatically commit changes on blur (when a field loses focus).

Styling Rows and Columns:
You can style individual cells based on the data, for example, to highlight changes or important information.

Cell Focus:
Cells can be focused by clicking on a cell or with the keyboard.

      public Grid(int pageSize)
      Creates a new instance, with the specified page size.

      The page size influences the Query.getLimit() sent by the client, but it's up to the webcomponent to determine the actual query limit, based on the height of the component and scroll position. Usually the limit is 3 times the page size (e.g. 150 items with a page size of 50).

      Parameters:
      pageSize - the page size. Must be greater than zero.

    • Grid

      public Grid(Class<T> beanType, boolean autoCreateColumns)
      Creates a new grid with an initial set of columns for each of the bean's properties. The property-values of the bean will be converted to Strings. Full names of the properties will be used as the column keys and the property captions will be used as the column headers. The generated columns will be sortable by default, if the property is Comparable.

      When autoCreateColumns is true, only the direct properties of the bean are included and they will be in alphabetical order. Use setColumns(String...) to define which properties to include and in which order. You can also add a column for an individual property with addColumn(String). Both of these methods support also sub-properties with dot-notation, eg. "property.nestedProperty".

      Parameters:

      Description copied from interface: HasLazyDataView
      Supply items with a BackEndDataProvider that lazy loads items from a backend. Note that component will query the data provider for the item count. In case that is not desired for performance reasons, use HasLazyDataView.setItems(CallbackDataProvider.FetchCallback) instead.

      The returned data view object can be used for further configuration, or later on fetched with HasLazyDataView.getLazyDataView(). For using in-memory data, like Collection, use HasListDataView.setItems(Collection) instead.

      Specified by:
      setItems in interface HasLazyDataView<T,Void,GridLazyDataView<T>>
      Parameters:
      dataProvider - BackEndDataProvider instance
      Returns:
      LazyDataView instance for further configuration

    • getLazyDataView

      public GridLazyDataView<T> getLazyDataView()
      Gets the lazy data view for the grid. This data view should only be used when the items are provided lazily from the backend with: If the items are not fetched lazily an exception is thrown. When the items are in-memory, use getListDataView() instead.
      Specified by:
      getLazyDataView in interface HasLazyDataView<T,Void,GridLazyDataView<T>>
      Returns:
      the lazy data view that provides access to the data bound to the grid

    • getDataCommunicator

    • getPageSize

      public int getPageSize()
      Gets the current page size, which is the number of items fetched at a time from the dataprovider.
      Returns:
      the current page size

    • setPageSize

      public void setPageSize(int pageSize)
      Sets the page size, which is the number of items fetched at a time from the data provider. With the default value of 50, the grid might fetch items for example as: 0-49, 50-149, 150-200....

      Note: the number of items in the server-side memory can be considerably higher than the page size, since the component can show more than one page at a time.

      Setting the pageSize after the Grid has been rendered effectively resets the component, and the current page(s) and sent over again.

      With automatically extending grid, controlling the item count and how much it is increased when scrolling is possible via getLazyDataView().

      Parameters:
      pageSize - the maximum number of items sent per request. Should be greater than zero

      Parameters:
      selectionMode - the selection mode to switch to, not null
      Returns:
      the used selection model

      When Grid is not configured to have multi-sorting enabled, all the columns in the list except the first one are ignored.

      Parameters:
      order - the list of sort orders to set on the client, or null to reset any sort orders.

    • configureBeanType

      public void configureBeanType(Class<T> beanType, boolean autoCreateColumns)
      Sets the bean type this grid is bound to and optionally adds a set of columns for each of the bean's properties. The property-values of the bean will be converted to Strings. Full names of the properties will be used as the column keys and the property captions will be used as the column headers. The generated columns will be sortable by default, if the property is Comparable.

      When autoCreateColumns is true, only the direct properties of the bean are included and they will be in alphabetical order. Use setColumns(String...) to define which properties to include and in which order. You can also add a column for an individual property with addColumn(String). Both of these methods support also sub-properties with dot-notation, eg. "property.nestedProperty".

      This method can only be called for a newly instanced Grid without any beanType or columns set.

      Parameters:
      beanType - the bean type to use, not null
      autoCreateColumns - when true, columns are created automatically for the properties of the beanType

      Returns:
      a handle that can be used for removing the listener

    • addItemDoubleClickListener

      public Registration addItemDoubleClickListener(ComponentEventListener<ItemDoubleClickEvent<T>> listener)
      Adds an item double click listener to this component.

      Note that double click event happens along with a click event. It means there is no way to get a double click event only (double click without a click): a click listener added using addItemClickListener(ComponentEventListener) (if any) will also be notified about a click event once a double click event is fired.

      Double click event type is not fully supported by the mobile browsers which means that double click event might not work (double click listeners won't be notified) for such browsers.

      Parameters:
      listener - the listener to add, not null
      Returns:
      a handle that can be used for removing the listener
      See Also:

    • addCellFocusListener

      public Registration addCellFocusListener(ComponentEventListener<CellFocusEvent<T>> listener)
      Adds a listener to the grid that will be notified, when a cell has been focused.

      The listener will be notified, when
      • the navigation focus of a cell gets activated
      • the focus is restored to the browser if a cell had navigation focus before the focus was lost
      • the navigation focus moves between header/body/footer sections

      The listener will not be notified, when
      • the focus changes between focusable elements in the Grid cells ("interaction mode")
      • on Grid Pro edit mode navigation ("interaction mode")
      • the focus changes between focusable elements in the cells in Flow Grid's editor mode ("interaction mode")
      Parameters:
      listener - the listener to add, not null
      Returns:
      a handle that can be used for removing the listener

    • setClassNameGenerator

      public void setClassNameGenerator(SerializableFunction<T,String> classNameGenerator)
      Sets the function that is used for generating CSS class names for all the cells in the rows in this grid. Returning null from the generator results in no custom class name being set. Multiple class names can be returned from the generator as space-separated.

      If Grid.Column.setClassNameGenerator(SerializableFunction) is used together with this method, resulting class names from both methods will be effective. Class names generated by grid are applied to the cells before the class names generated by column. This means that if the classes contain conflicting style properties, column's classes will win.

      Parameters:
      classNameGenerator - the class name generator to set, not null
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if classNameGenerator is null
      See Also:

      public void setPartNameGenerator(SerializableFunction<T,String> partNameGenerator)
      Sets the function that is used for generating CSS part names for all the cells in the rows in this grid. Returning null from the generator results in no custom part name being set. Multiple part names can be returned from the generator as space-separated.

      If Grid.Column.setPartNameGenerator(SerializableFunction) is used together with this method, resulting part names from both methods will be effective.

      Parameters:
      partNameGenerator - the part name generator to set, not null
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if partNameGenerator is null

      Returns:
      a handle that can be used for removing the listener

    • setDropMode

      public void setDropMode(GridDropMode dropMode)
      Sets the drop mode of this drop target. When set to not null, grid fires drop events upon data drop over the grid or the grid rows.

      When using GridDropMode.ON_TOP, and the grid is either empty or has empty space after the last row, the drop can still happen on the empty space, and the GridDropEvent.getDropTargetItem() will return an empty optional.

      When using GridDropMode.BETWEEN or GridDropMode.ON_TOP_OR_BETWEEN, and there is at least one row in the grid, any drop after the last row in the grid will get the last row as the GridDropEvent.getDropTargetItem(). If there are no rows in the grid, then it will return an empty optional.

      If using GridDropMode.ON_GRID, then the drop will not happen on any row, but instead just "on the grid". The target row will not be present in this case.

      NOTE: Prefer not using a row specific GridDropMode with a grid that enables sorting. If for example a new row gets added to a specific location on drop event, it might not end up in the location of the drop but rather where the active sorting configuration prefers to place it. This behavior might feel unexpected for the users.

      Parameters:
      dropMode - Drop mode that describes the allowed drop locations within the Grid's row. Can be null to disable dropping on the grid.
      See Also:

    • getDropMode

      public GridDropMode getDropMode()
      Gets the drop mode of this drop target.
      Returns:
      Drop mode that describes the allowed drop locations within the Grid's row. null if dropping is not enabled.

    • setRowsDraggable

      public void setRowsDraggable(boolean rowsDraggable)
      Sets whether the user can drag the grid rows or not.
      Parameters:
      rowsDraggable - true if the rows can be dragged by the user; false if not

    • isRowsDraggable

      public boolean isRowsDraggable()
      Gets whether rows of the grid can be dragged.
      Returns:
      true if the rows are draggable, false otherwise

    • getDropFilter

      public SerializablePredicate<T> getDropFilter()
      Gets the active drop filter.
      Returns:
      The drop filter function

    • getDragFilter

      public SerializablePredicate<T> getDragFilter()
      Gets the active drag filter.
      Returns:
      The drag filter function

    • setDropFilter

      public void setDropFilter(SerializablePredicate<T> dropFilter)
      Sets the drop filter for this drag target.

      When the drop mode of the grid has been set to one of GridDropMode.BETWEEN, GridDropMode.ON_TOP or GridDropMode.ON_TOP_OR_BETWEEN, by default all the visible rows can be dropped over.

      A drop filter function can be used to specify the rows that are available for dropping over. The function receives an item and should return true if the row can be dropped over, false otherwise.

      NOTE: If the filter conditions depend on a specific row that's currently being dragged, you might want to have the grid's drop mode disabled by default and set its value only on drag start to avoid the small period of time during which the user might be able to drop over unwanted rows. Once the drop end event occurs, the drop mode can be set back to null to keep this consistent.

      NOTE: If the filtering conditions change dynamically, remember to explicitly invoke getDataProvider().refreshItem(item) for the relevant items to get the filters re-run for them.

    • setDragFilter

      public void setDragFilter(SerializablePredicate<T> dragFilter)
      Sets the drag filter for this drag source.

      When the setRowsDraggable(boolean) has been used to enable dragging, by default all the visible rows can be dragged.

      A drag filter function can be used to specify the rows that are available for dragging. The function receives an item and returns true if the row can be dragged, false otherwise.

      NOTE: If the filtering conditions change dynamically, remember to explicitly invoke getDataProvider().refreshItem(item) for the relevant items to get the filters re-run for them.

    • setDragDataGenerator

      public void setDragDataGenerator(String type, SerializableFunction<T,String> dragDataGenerator)
      Sets a generator function for customizing drag data. The generated value will be accessible using the same type as the generator is set here. The function is executed for each item in the Grid during data generation. Return a String to be appended to the row as type data.

      Note that IE11 only supports data type "text"

      Parameters:
      type - Type of the generated data. The generated value will be accessible during drop using this type.
      dragDataGenerator - Function to be executed on row data generation.

    • setTooltipGenerator

      public void setTooltipGenerator(SerializableFunction<T,String> tooltipGenerator)
      Sets the function that is used for generating tooltip text for all cells in this grid. Tooltip generators set to individual columns have priority over the generator set with this method. Returning null from the generator results in no tooltip being set.
      Parameters:
      tooltipGenerator - the tooltip generator to set, not null
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if tooltipGenerator is null
      Since:
      24.1

    • setSelectionDragDetails

      public void setSelectionDragDetails(int draggedItemsCount, Map<String,String> dragData)
      Sets explicit drag operation details for when the user is dragging the selected items. By default, the drag data only covers the items in the visible viewport and all the items outside of it, even if selected, are excluded. Use this method to override the default drag data and the number shown in drag image on selection drag.

      Note that IE11 only supports data type "text"

      Parameters:
      draggedItemsCount - The number shown in the drag image on selection drag. Only values above 1 have any visible effect.
      dragData - The drag data for selection drag. The map should consist of data type:data -entries

    • addColumnReorderListener

      public Registration addColumnReorderListener(ComponentEventListener<ColumnReorderEvent<T>> listener)
      Adds a column reorder listener to this component.
      Parameters:
      listener - the listener to add, not null
      Returns:
      a handle that can be used for removing the listener

    • setColumnOrder

      public void setColumnOrder(Grid.Column<T>... columns)
      Sets a new column order for the grid.

      The function doesn't support column removal: all columns must be present in the list, otherwise IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

      The getColumns() function will reflect the new column ordering.

      Fires the ColumnReorderEvent with ComponentEvent.isFromClient() returning false.

      The method is atomic: if the requested reordering is not achievable, the function fails cleanly with IllegalArgumentException without doing any work.

      Parameters:
      columns - the new ordering of the columns, not null.
      Throws:
      NullPointerException - if the columns parameter is null.
      IllegalArgumentException - if a column is present two times in the list, or if the column is not owned by this Grid, or if the list doesn't contain all columns currently present in the Grid, or if the column rearranging would require to split a joined header/footer cell group.
      See Also:

    • setColumnRendering

      public void setColumnRendering(ColumnRendering columnRendering)
      Sets the mode for rendering columns in the grid.

      eager (default): All columns are rendered upfront, regardless of their visibility within the viewport. This mode should generally be preferred, as it avoids the limitations imposed by the "lazy" mode. Use this mode unless the grid has a large number of columns and performance outweighs the limitations in priority.

      lazy: Optimizes the rendering of cells when there are multiple columns in the grid by virtualizing horizontal scrolling. In this mode, body cells are rendered only when their corresponding columns are inside the visible viewport.

      Using "lazy" rendering should be used only if you're dealing with a large number of columns and performance is your highest priority. For most use cases, the default "eager" mode is recommended due to the limitations imposed by the "lazy" mode.

      When using the "lazy" mode, keep the following limitations in mind:

      • Row Height: When only a number of columns are visible at once, the height of a row can only be that of the highest cell currently visible on that row. Make sure each cell on a single row has the same height as all other cells on that row. If row cells have different heights, users may experience jumpiness when scrolling the grid horizontally as lazily rendered cells with different heights are scrolled into view.
      • Auto-width Columns: For the columns that are initially outside the visible viewport but still use auto-width, only the header content is taken into account when calculating the column width because the body cells of the columns outside the viewport are not initially rendered.
      • Screen Reader Compatibility: Screen readers may not be able to associate the focused cells with the correct headers when only a subset of the body cells on a row is rendered.
      • Keyboard Navigation: Tabbing through focusable elements inside the grid body may not work as expected because some of the columns that would include focusable elements in the body cells may be outside the visible viewport and thus not rendered.
      Parameters:
      columnRendering - the column rendering mode to use
      See Also:

    • getColumnRendering

      public ColumnRendering getColumnRendering()
      Gets the current column rendering mode.
      Returns:
      the current column rendering mode
