API Methods

ZingGrid provides a rich API for controlling grid interactions – from re-rendering to adjusting user interactions (like paging) through JavaScript. As an object, ZingGrid comes with its own set of methods that get/set properties and manipulate its contents.

Test out any of the methods below in our Methods Sandbox.

ZingGrid Methods

ZingGrid refers to the grid tag (<zing-grid>) itself. Grid-specific methods include getting the current grid dimensions, refreshing the grid, and a 'ready' callback function.

For display purposes, the methods on this page are broken out by grid element, but all methods are called from the <zing-grid> tag.

Example Usage

const zgRef = document.querySelector('zing-grid');
zgRef.executeOnLoad(function() {
  zgRef.getHeight()
});
