Get row id on edit

russlevy

Hi,

My datasource has field id. I am using editor.on('open'). How can I get the row id being edited?

This works but seems like overkill

var id = datatable.fnGetData(editor.modifier()).id

Thanks.

How you get the value of a column depends a bit on what context you are in. When exactly do you want to get this value? Sample code please.

russlevy

Editor.on('open', function(){
var id = datatable.fnGetData(Editor.modifier()).id
})

ThomD

var id = Editor.field("id").val();

or

var id = this.field("id").val();

russlevy

That doesn't work because id isn't a field in the editor

ThomD

OK

Your method of using modifier() is probably the best way. I would suggest using row().data() rather than the legacy fnGetData method, but either will work.

Edit - Having a method in Editor to get the ids of the rows being edited sounds sensible, I'll look into that.
