I want to add an id to the "tr" elements of the mvccontrib grid I build:
<tr id="0"/>
<tr id="1"/>
so if the table contains 10 rows, the ids are 0 through to 9.
One way is to add an additional item to my entity to store this value and then create this as a hidden column with the id as the value of this item - not very elegant.
Is there a more elegant way to do this? Thanks
I've got this far but now it complains at the RenderUsing line, any ideas?
@model IEnumerable<Tens.Models.UserPreviousNamesView>
<div class="demo_jui">
@{
var userId = 0;
foreach (var item in Model)
{
userId = item.Id;
break;
}
@(Html.Grid(Model.Select((item,index) => new { Item = item, Index = index}))
.Columns(col =>
{
col.For(p => p.Item.Title);
col.For(p => p.Item.Name);
col.Custom(@<text>
@Ajax.ActionLink("Delete", "DeleteUserPreviousName", "Summary", null, null, new { id = item.Item.Id, @class = "deleteUserPreviousName" })
</text>).Encode(false);
})
.RowAttributes(p => new Hash(Id => "id"+p.Item.Index.ToString()))
.Attributes(Id => "userPreviousNamesTable")
.Empty("You currently have no Previous Names.")
.RenderUsing(new Tens.GridRenderers.UserPreviousNamesGridRenderer<Tens.Models.UserPreviousNamesView>()));
}
You could transform the model to add it a row index and then use the RowAttributes
method:
@model IEnumerable<MyViewModel>
@(Html
.Grid(Model.Select((item, index) => new { Item = item, Index = index }))
.Columns(column =>
{
column.For(x => x.Item.Foo);
column.For(x => x.Item.Bar);
})
.RowAttributes(x => new Hash(id => string.Format("id{0}", x.Item.Index)))
)
Also I have pre-pended the id with the id
keyword as ids in HTML cannot statr with a number as shown in your example.
Sample output:
<table class="grid">
<thead>
<tr>
<th>Foo</th>
<th>Bar</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr id="id0" class="gridrow">
<td>foo 1</td>
<td>bar 1</td>
</tr>
<tr id="id1" class="gridrow_alternate">
<td>foo 2</td>
<td>bar 2</td>
</tr>
<tr id="id2" class="gridrow">
<td>foo 3</td>
<td>bar 3</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
