Editor: How to get DT_RowId for the row of a cell being edited inline?

bcraun

I am trying to obtain the DT_RowId for the row of a cell that's being inline edited. I'm not seeing a way from the API to accomplish this? Is this possible?

Thank you

Yes, the modifier() method can be used to access whatever was used to trigger the editing - with inline editing that is normally a cell, so you can use:

var modifier = editor.modifier();
var id = table.row( modifier.parentNode ).data().DT_RowId;

Another option is to use multiGet() which has the row ids in the object keys.

Sounds look a good addition as an API method though - thanks!

Yes, that works perfectly. Thanks!

Little update on this should anyone find this thread - as of Editor 1.7.4 (to be released this week), there is a new ids() function that can be used to get the ids of the rows being edited.
