Is it possible to make a Kendo MVC grid .Editable() based on a function that allows editing ONLY if you have a certain Viewbag?
I have a viewbag that is Viewbag.DisplayButton
. That viewbag is only 'true' if you have a dev role (so non-devs cannot edit anything). How can I make this work with .Editable() so that you can only edit cells if you have that viewbag?
Currently if I set Editable(true) then anyone (devs, customers, literally anyone) can edit the cell. If I set it to Editable(false) then no one, including devs, can edit it. So I need a function that does it only if you have that specific viewbag.
Use a Razor code block for this. You can assign the Grid definition to a variable, then execute the conditional logic and add the additional configurations, if any. Finally call the Render method. Here is an example:
<h3>Some content</h3>
@{
var isAdmin = true;
var grid = (Html.Kendo().Grid<MyModel>()
.Name("grid")
.Columns(columns =>
{
columns.Bound(p => p.MyModelID).Filterable(false);
columns.Bound(p => p.SomeModelProperty);
})
.Pageable()
.Scrollable()
.DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
.Ajax()
.PageSize(20)
.Model(m=>m.Id("MyModelID"))
.Read(read => read.Action("Read", "Grid"))
)
);
if (User.IsInRole("Admin"))
{
grid.Editable(e=>e.Mode(GridEditMode.InCell));
}
grid.Render();
}
<h3>Some other content</h3>
