Row Ordering: Drag and Drop to Reorder Rows

Introduction: The Row Ordering feature created to rearrange rows dynamically through a drag-and-drop interface. This functionality enhances the interactivity of your grid by allowing users to reorder rows easily, improving data organization and management.

Key Features:

• Drag-and-Drop Reordering:

  • Purpose: Enables users to reorder rows by dragging a designated reordering cell.
  • Benefit: Provides an intuitive and interactive way to rearrange row positions within the grid.

• Special Reordering Cell:

  • Purpose: Utilizes a specific cell to facilitate the dragging and dropping of rows.
  • Benefit: Simplifies the reordering process by clearly indicating the draggable area.

• Configuration:

  • Default State: Row reordering is disabled by default to maintain initial grid configurations.
  • Enable Reordering: To activate row reordering, configure the rowDrag property in the column settings.

Example Usage:

To enable row reordering in your grid, set the rowDrag property in the column configuration:

const grid = document.querySelector('revo-grid');

// Configure column property to enable row reordering
grid.columns = [
  { title: 'Name', field: 'name' },
  { title: 'Age', field: 'age' },
  { title: 'Actions', field: 'actions', rowDrag: true } // Enables row reordering
];

Explanation:

• rowDrag Property: Set to true in the column configuration where the reordering cell is specified. This activates the drag-and-drop functionality for rows.

Benefits:

• Enhanced Interactivity: Allows users to rearrange rows according to their preferences, making data management more flexible.
• Improved Usability: Offers an intuitive way for users to organize data without needing complex controls or additional tools.

Implementation Tips:

• Ensure that the rowDrag property is set appropriately in your column configuration to enable the feature.
• Customize the appearance and behavior of the reordering cell to match your grid’s design and user experience goals.

Limitations & Pro Version:

• Basic Functionality: The standard row ordering feature provides fundamental drag-and-drop capabilities.
• Advanced Features: For more advanced row ordering options, such as custom drag handles, advanced visual cues, or additional configuration settings, consider upgrading to the Pro version of RevoGrid.
