Table getting back values

[tbettinazzi@axioma.it]

In a “standard” html table if I want an editable cell I put an <input> between <td> and </td> and everything in a form, then I can get the value of the <input> as in every other form field in html.

If I use a <smart-table> with some editable cells how can I get back values when values are submitted to the server ?

Hi,

If you need the value of only some specific cells, you can use getValue in this way:

const val= table.getValue(“3, ‘lastName'”);

I need back value of all modified cells with some id to distinguish them.

In your example I don’t understand where can I get the value on the server : const val is a javascript variable not a server one.

Hi,

Here is a more detailed guide how to achieve that:

 

For unique cell ids you can use the combination of row index + cell datafield. So a cell id will be like “2_lastName”

 

You can use the cellEndEdit event to keep track of cells that have been edited by storing their id in a global array.

 

Use the browser’s “submit” and “formdata” events to modify the form data before it gets to the server, like in the documentation here:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLFormElement/formdata_event

 

Use the getValue method I suggested to get the current cell value and add the cell id + value to the modified FormData object.
