Getting Started
Configuration
Below are listed the steps for you to follow when configuring the Kendo UI Grid for binding to data passed as a model attribute in Spring MVC.
Step 1 Make sure you followed all the steps from the introductory article on Telerik UI for JSP.
Step 2 Create a new action method and pass the Products table to the View.
@RequestMapping(value = "/local-data", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String index(Locale locale, Model model) {
model.addAttribute("products", product.getList());
return "web/grid/local-data";
}
Step 3 Add the Kendo UI taglib mapping to the page.
<%@taglib prefix="kendo" uri="https://www.telerik.com/kendo-ui/jsp/tags"%>
Step 4 Add a server-bound Grid.
<kendo:grid name="productGrid" pageable="true">
<kendo:grid-columns>
<kendo:grid-column title="Product Name" field="productName" />
<kendo:grid-column title="Unit Price" field="unitPrice" format="{0:c}" />
<kendo:grid-column title="Units In Stock" field="unitsInStock" />
</kendo:grid-columns>
<kendo:dataSource data="${products}" pageSize="10"/>
<kendo:grid-pageable input="true" numeric="false" />
</kendo:grid>
Event Handling
Subscribe to Events
You can subscribe to all events exposed by Kendo UI Grid by the handler name.
<kendo:grid name="productGrid" dataBound="productGrid_dataBound" change="productGrid_change">
<kendo:dataSource data="${data}" pageSize="10"/>
</kendo:grid>
<script>
function productGrid_dataBound() {
//Handle the dataBound event
}
function productGrid_change() {
//Handle the change event
}
</script>
Reference
Existing Instances
You are able to reference an existing Grid instance via the jQuery.data(). Once a reference is established, you are able to use the Grid API to control its behavior.
//Put this after your Kendo Grid tag declaration
<script>
$(function() {
// Notice that the name attribute of the grid is used to get its client-side instance
var grid = $("#productGrid").data("kendoGrid");
});
</script>
