ASP .NET Core Grid Tag Helper Getting Started

Getting Started

The Grid is a powerful jQuery widget that displays tabular data. It offers rich support for interacting with data, including paging, grouping, sorting, filtering and editing.

Every ASP .NET Core Mvc Tag Helper from jQWidgets toolkit needs its JavaScript files to be included in order to work properly.

jqxGrid requires the following files:

CSS
jqx.base.css
Javascript
jqxcore.js
jqxdata.js
jqxbuttons.js
jqxscrollbar.js
jqxmenu.js
jqxlistbox.js
jqxdropdownlist.js
jqxgrid.js
jqxgrid.selection.js
jqxgrid.columnsresize.js
jqxgrid.columnsreorder.js
jqxgrid.storage.js
jqxgrid.filter.js
jqxgrid.sort.js
jqxgrid.pager.js
jqxgrid.grouping.js

The next step is to create html element within the body of the html document and add the initialization attributes.

<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.js"></script>

@model IEnumerable<jQWidgets.AspNet.Core.Models.SalesEmployee>
@using jQWidgets.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers;
@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "ASP .NET MVC Grid Aggregates Example";
}
@{
    var employee = Model.FirstOrDefault();
}
<jqx-grid id="grid" altrows="true" alt-rows="true" show-status-bar="true" show-aggregates="true" filterable="true" pageable="true" auto-height="true" source-id="ID" sortable="true" width="850" source="Model">
    <jqx-grid-columns>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['count']" datafield-for="@(employee.FirstName)" width="150" text="First Name"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['count']" datafield-for="@(employee.LastName)" width="150" text="Last Name"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['count']" datafield-for="@(employee.ProductName)" width="200" text="Product Name"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['sum']" datafield-for="@(employee.Price)" width="100" text="Price" cells-format="c2" cells-align="HorizontalAlignment.Right"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['sum']" datafield-for="@(employee.Quantity)" width="100" text="Quantity" cells-align="HorizontalAlignment.Right"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['sum']" datafield-for="@(employee.Total)" width="150" text="Total" cells-format="c2" cells-align="HorizontalAlignment.Right"></jqx-grid-column>
 </jqx-grid-columns>
</jqx-grid>

To call a function(method), you need to pass the method name and parameters(if any) in the UI component’s instance.

<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxscrollbar.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.edit.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.columnsresize.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.filter.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.selection.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.sort.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.pager.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.aggregates.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.grouping.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxdata.export.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.export.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxmenu.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxlistbox.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxdropdownlist.js"></script>
@model IEnumerable<jQWidgets.AspNet.Core.Models.SalesEmployee>
@using jQWidgets.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers;
@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "ASP .NET MVC Grid Aggregates Example";
}
@{
    var employee = Model.FirstOrDefault();
}
<jqx-grid id="grid" alt-rows="true" show-status-bar="true" show-aggregates="true" filterable="true" pageable="true" auto-height="true" source-id="ID" sortable="true" width="850" source="Model" instance="getInstance()">
    <jqx-grid-columns>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['count']" datafield-for="@(employee.FirstName)" width="150" text="First Name"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['count']" datafield-for="@(employee.LastName)" width="150" text="Last Name"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['count']" datafield-for="@(employee.ProductName)" width="200" text="Product Name"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['sum']" datafield-for="@(employee.Price)" width="100" text="Price" cells-format="c2" cells-align="HorizontalAlignment.Right"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['sum']" datafield-for="@(employee.Quantity)" width="100" text="Quantity" cells-align="HorizontalAlignment.Right"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['sum']" datafield-for="@(employee.Total)" width="150" text="Total" cells-format="c2" cells-align="HorizontalAlignment.Right"></jqx-grid-column>
 </jqx-grid-columns>
</jqx-grid>
							
@section scripts {								
<script type="text/javascript">									
	function getInstance(instance) {									
		instance["autoresizecolumns"]();									
	}									
</script>									
}

To bind to an event of a UI Component, you can use on-event-type syntax. The example code below demonstrates how to bind to an event.

<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxbuttons.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxscrollbar.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.edit.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.columnsresize.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.filter.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.selection.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.sort.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.pager.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.aggregates.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.grouping.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxdata.export.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxgrid.export.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxmenu.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxlistbox.js"></script>
<script src="~/jqwidgets/jqxdropdownlist.js"></script>
@model IEnumerable<jQWidgets.AspNet.Core.Models.SalesEmployee>
@using jQWidgets.AspNetCore.Mvc.TagHelpers;
@{
    ViewData["Title"] = "ASP .NET MVC Grid Aggregates Example";
}
@{
    var employee = Model.FirstOrDefault();
}
<jqx-grid id="grid" on-bindingcomplete="eventHandler()">
    <jqx-grid-columns>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['count']" datafield-for="@(employee.FirstName)" width="150" text="First Name"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['count']" datafield-for="@(employee.LastName)" width="150" text="Last Name"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['count']" datafield-for="@(employee.ProductName)" width="200" text="Product Name"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['sum']" datafield-for="@(employee.Price)" width="100" text="Price" cells-format="c2" cells-align="HorizontalAlignment.Right"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['sum']" datafield-for="@(employee.Quantity)" width="100" text="Quantity" cells-align="HorizontalAlignment.Right"></jqx-grid-column>
        <jqx-grid-column aggregates="['sum']" datafield-for="@(employee.Total)" width="150" text="Total" cells-format="c2" cells-align="HorizontalAlignment.Right"></jqx-grid-column>
 </jqx-grid-columns>
</jqx-grid>

<script type="text/javascript">
