grid with css height auto and add new row fails to display rows after ~3 adds

[admin]

https://codepen.io/cetinsert/pen/mdbPYRJ
in 4.1, not tested with older releases

[admin]

https://codepen.io/cetinsert/pen/mdbPYRJ – just edited to show another issue:
appearance: { showRowNumber: true },
editing: { addNewRow: { visible: true, position: ‘near’ }
starts counting rows from 2 not 1

[admin]

work arounds for both are welcome before fixes in a future release

[admin]

Thanks for the auto height feedback.
The workaround is to use the feature as shown on the website demos – grid has height different than auto. We will address the reported behavior in the next release of the grid component.

[admin]

I had already found a better workaround earlier for height auto, addNewRow!

1. Start with fixed height in CSS
2. Change height to auto in JS

Auto-height with add new row:

• broken – https://codepen.io/cetinsert/pen/mdbPYRJ
• working – https://codepen.io/cetinsert/pen/eYOZqEg (marked in CSS and JS panes as FIX1)

<hr />
What about the counter starting at 2?
Is that going to be addressed as well?

[admin]

Yes, we will.

https://codepen.io/cetinsert/pen/eYOZqEg – I realized this works up to the CSS-defined height and fails again (9 rows in this link). Increase height in CSS and it works longer.
Thank you for your prompt responses.

[admin]

I wrote in my previous post that it works only with defined height as shown in demos.

Thank you!
Still persists if

• editing.batch == true

also holds though.

It doesn’t seem to really be resolved in 4.3. I can’t get it to show more than 4 rows when I add.
But maybe I am not adding correctly. I had a heck of a time figuring out from the documentation just how to add rows. Lots of extensive documentation, but seems lacking in presenting key concepts. Maybe it is easier if you are coming from jsWidgets?  I guess part of the problem is there are several ways. I have a number of requests into support about this, so they will be busy after the holiday. 😉
There are demos that create a grid row, and add the row to the grid. I tried to guess what to do with a data adapter. I finally came across a useful demo, and for the common case where you just have an array of source data, e.g. mygrid.dataSource.add({id: ‘foo’, code: ‘bar’} seems to work and updates both the source array and the displayed grid – UNTIL you get to 4 rows.
After 4 rows are in the grid, if the height is auto, the height will increase, but it will display a blank row. I can confirm that the data is in the dataSource. But it doesn’t show.
Setting a fixed height doesn’t help. It won’t show more than 4. If you set height to auto, at least it demonstrates that rows are being added, because the height is seen to increase by observing the border – but the rows are not shown on the page.

I’ve been doing some experiments. There seems to be a problem if the initial number of rows in the data source is 1 or 0. If it is > 1, then new rows that are added are correctly displayed.
It is rather bizarre behaviour.
If there are zero rows initially, it seems it will never show any row.
If there is one row initially, it seems it will only ever show 2 rows.
If there are two or more rows initially, it seems to work correctly, and added rows are displayed.
In all cases, the height does increase when rows are added, but it does not render the new rows. Just white space.
.refresh() seems to do nothing.
See module below that sets up the grid <div id=add_course_history_grid></div>

const dataAdapter = new Smart.DataAdapter({

function onRowInit(index, row) {
if (index < 1) {
row.freeze = true;
}
}
export const addCourseGrid = new Smart.Grid('#add_course_history_grid', {
dataSource: dataAdapter,
columnGroups: columnGroups,
columns: columns,
columnResizeMode: 'growAndShrink',
appearance: appearance,
sorting: { enabled: true, },
selection: selection,
onRowInit: onRowInit,
});
document.addCourseGrid = addCourseGrid; // for easy debug

So, then I experiment from the console with e.g.:
document.addCourseGrid.dataSource.add({id:’mytest 2′, code:’f123aacdee’});
with results as I explained above.
This is with 4.3.

Hello,
We confirm the Grid component issue reported by jtara. We will resolve it in the next update.
