Use a chosen select field in a Handsontable.
- jQuery
- Handsontable
- Chosen
- handsontable-chosen-editor.js (This is the Handsontable Editor)
new Handsontable(document.getElementById("handsontable"), {
data: data,
columns: [
{
renderer: customDropdownRenderer,
editor: "chosen",
width: 150,
chosenOptions: {
data: [
{
id: "SPOT",
label: "Spot"
}, {
id: "AFLOAT",
label: "Afloat"
}, {
id: "PREORDER",
label: "Preorder"
}, {
id: "FORWARD",
label: "Forward"
}
]
}
},
{
renderer: customDropdownRenderer,
editor: "chosen",
width: 150,
chosenOptions: {
multiple: true,
data: [
{
id: "1",
label: "Catuai"
}, {
id: "2",
label: "Bourbone"
}, {
id: "3",
label: "Geisha"
}
]
}
}
]
});
function customDropdownRenderer(instance, td, row, col, prop, value, cellProperties) {
var selectedId;
var optionsList = cellProperties.chosenOptions.data;
if(typeof optionsList === "undefined" || typeof optionsList.length === "undefined" || !optionsList.length) {
Handsontable.renderers.TextRenderer.apply(this, arguments);
return td;
}
var values = (value + "").split(",");
value = [];
for (var index = 0; index < optionsList.length; index++) {
if (values.indexOf(optionsList[index].id + "") > -1) {
selectedId = optionsList[index].id;
value.push(optionsList[index].label);
}
}
value = value.join(", ");
Handsontable.renderers.TextRenderer.apply(this, arguments);
return td;
}
Basically, use "chosen"
as editor and customDropdownRenderer
as renderer.
In the chosenOptions, you can set multiple: true
if you want to have a multiple select.
The data property has to be an array consisting of objects with an id and a label field.
You can also use a different renderer. The example renderer (customDropdownRenderer
) will simply output a comma separated
list of the appropriate labels.
