Resolve(false) in promise after initEdit does not stop editor from opening

kharteveld

Hi,

In some cases I want to show users a modal to ask if they are sure they want to edit a row. Here is the code I use:

editor.on('initEdit', function (e, node, data, items, type) {
let checks = Array.from(data['checks']);
if (checks.length) {
$('#infoModalChecks').modal('show');
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
$('#infoModalButtonChecks').off('click').on('click', function() {
$('#infoModalChecks').modal('hide');
resolve(true);
})
$('#infoModalCloseButtonChecks, #infoModalCloseXChecks').off('click').on('click', function() {
resolve(false);
})
});
}
});

If the user presses the close button in the modal, the editor shouldn't open. But resolve(false) does not stop the editor from opening and reject causes an error in DataTables. Am I doing something wrong? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

The initEdit event is not cancellable I'm afraid. The opening is delayed until the Promise is resolved but at the moment the init* events cannot be cancelled. The pre* events can be - so preOpen could be used to stop the display.
