class GridFieldEditableColumns extends GridFieldDataColumns implements GridField_HTMLProvider, GridField_SaveHandler, GridField_URLHandler (View source)

Allows inline editing of grid field records without having to load a separate edit interface.

The form fields used can be configured by setting the value in setDisplayFields() to one of the following forms:

  • A Closure which returns the field instance.
  • An array with a callback key pointing to a function which returns the field.
  • An array with a field key->response specifying the field class to use.

Traits

A class that can be instantiated or replaced via DI

Details

static Injectable create(mixed ...$args)

An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class

This method will defer class substitution to the Injector API, which can be customised via the Config API to declare substitution classes.

This can be called in one of two ways - either calling via the class directly, or calling on Object and passing the class name as the first parameter. The following are equivalent: $list = DataList::create(SiteTree::class); $list = SiteTree::get();

Parameters

mixed ...$args

Return Value

Injectable

static Injectable singleton(string $class = null)

Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.

It will always return the same instance for this class, which can be used for performance reasons and as a simple way to access instance methods which don't rely on instance data (e.g. the custom SilverStripe static handling).

Parameters

string $class

Optional classname to create, if the called class should not be used

Return Value

Injectable

The singleton instance

augmentColumns(GridField $gridField, array $columns)

Modify the list of columns displayed in the table.

See GridFieldDataColumns->getDisplayFields()} and {@link GridFieldDataColumns.

Parameters

GridField $gridField
array $columns

List reference of all column names.

array getColumnsHandled(GridField $gridField)

Names of all columns which are affected by this component.

Parameters

GridField $gridField

Return Value

array

$this setDisplayFields(array $fields)

Override the default behaviour of showing the models summaryFields with these fields instead Example: array( 'Name' => 'Members name', 'Email' => 'Email address')

Parameters

array $fields

Return Value

$this

array getDisplayFields(GridField $gridField)

Get the DisplayFields

Parameters

GridField $gridField

Return Value

array

$this setFieldCasting(array $casting)

Specify castings with fieldname as the key, and the desired casting as value.

Example: array("MyCustomDate"=>"Date","MyShortText"=>"Text->FirstSentence")

Parameters

array $casting

Return Value

$this

array getFieldCasting()

No description

Return Value

array

$this setFieldFormatting(array $formatting)

Specify custom formatting for fields, e.g. to render a link instead of pure text.

Caution: Make sure to escape special php-characters like in a normal php-statement. Example: "myFieldName" => '<a href=\"custom-admin/$ID\">$ID'.

Alternatively, pass a anonymous function, which takes two parameters: The value and the original list item.

Formatting is applied after field casting, so if you're modifying the string to include further data through custom formatting, ensure it's correctly escaped.

Parameters

array $formatting

array getHTMLFragments($grid)

Returns a map where the keys are fragment names and the values are pieces of HTML to add to these fragments.

Here are 4 built-in fragments: 'header', 'footer', 'before', and 'after', but components may also specify fragments of their own.

To specify a new fragment, specify a new fragment by including the text "$DefineFragment(fragmentname)" in the HTML that you return.

Fragment names should only contain alphanumerics, -, and _.

If you attempt to return HTML for a fragment that doesn't exist, an exception will be thrown when the GridField is rendered.

Parameters

$grid

Return Value

array

handleSave(GridField $grid, DataObjectInterface $record)

Called when a grid field is saved - i.e. the form is submitted.
