Vue Data Grid — getting “[object][Object]” in a column

[TomAcx]

My data is in JSON form and has the usual dates, strings, numbers, etc. — but for one property about language proficiency, like so…

{
"name": "Spanish",
"levels": "Level 4"
},
{
"name": "Mandarin Chinese",
"levels": "Level 3"
},
{
"name": "Hindi",
"levels": "Level 4"
},
{
"name": "French",
"levels": "Level 3"
},
{
"name": "English",
"levels": "Level 4"
}

This column shows as “[object][Object]” in its column.

I have tried various kinds of formatting, but though my local .json file has the data is valid, the data available when attempting a “columns: […]” formatFunction() or template only returns the string “[object][Object].”

Is there a fix for this?

Hi,

Can you please share your Grid’s settings?
This way it will be easier for us to resolve the problem.

Thanks for the quick response!

I think this is what you need?

(Side issue:  Note that many of my data fields have names like Teams--Agent-hiring-3-week when I would prefer Teams: Agent hiring 3 week but the examples don’t show how to handle colons and spaces in these names.  If there’s a way, I’d like to use it.)

A sample of the data I’m trying to get from the Ops--Languages-and-proficiencies field is below.  For this, the grid would show six repetitions of [object][Object].

 [
{“name”: “Dutch”, “level”: “”},
{“name”: “English”, “levels”: “Level 4”},
{“name”: “French”, “levels”: “Level 4”},
{“name”: “Portuguese”, “levels”: “Level 3”},
{“name”: “Spanish”, “levels”: “Level 4”},
{“name”: “Standard German”, “levels”: “Level 1”}
]

Hi,

If I understand correctly, you are trying to assign an array as a data field.
That is not possible, the allowed data types for a data field are: ‘string’, ‘date’, ‘number’, ‘float’, ‘int’ and ‘bool’.

That makes sense, though I do find that simple JSON arrays like ['Spanish','English','French'] do show up in the table fine without any special effort or handling.

So I assumed there was some native ability to intake JSON, perhaps doing a silent .stringify() operation on it or something.

Hi,

The official supported data types are: ‘string’, ‘date’, ‘number’, ‘float’, ‘int’ and ‘bool’.
Yes, you can stringify the array to display the data
