Installation

Install the latest version from pub.

Getting started

Import the following package.

import 'package:syncfusion_flutter_datagrid/datagrid.dart';

Creating Data for an application

The SfDataGrid is dependent upon data. Create a simple data source for SfDataGrid as shown in the following code example.

class Employee {
  Employee(this.id, this.name, this.designation, this.salary);
  final int id;
  final String name;
  final String designation;
  final int salary;
}

Create the collection of employee data with the required number of data objects. Here, the method used to populate the data objects is initialized in initState()

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  populateData();
}

void populateData() {
  _employees.add(Employee(10001, 'James', 'Project Lead', 20000));
  _employees.add(Employee(10002, 'Kathryn', 'Manager', 30000));
  _employees.add(Employee(10003, 'Lara', 'Developer', 15000));
  _employees.add(Employee(10004, 'Michael', 'Designer', 15000));
  _employees.add(Employee(10005, 'Martin', 'Developer', 15000));
  _employees.add(Employee(10006, 'Newberry', 'Developer', 15000));
  _employees.add(Employee(10007, 'Balnc', 'Developer', 15000));
  _employees.add(Employee(10008, 'Perry', 'Developer', 15000));
  _employees.add(Employee(10009, 'Gable', 'Developer', 15000));
  _employees.add(Employee(10010, 'Grimes', 'Developer', 15000));
}

Creating DataSource for DataGrid

DataGridSource is used to obtain the row data for the SfDataGrid. So, create the data source from the DataGridSource and override the following APIs in it:

• dataSource: Fetches the number of rows available for data population. Also, it is used to fetch the corresponding data object to process the selection.

• getValue: Fetches the value for each cell.

DataGridSource objects are expected to be long-lived, not re-created with each build.

final List<Employee> _employees = <Employee>[];

final EmployeeDataSource _employeeDataSource = EmployeeDataSource();

class EmployeeDataSource extends DataGridSource<Employee> {
  @override
  List<Employee> get dataSource => _employees;

  @override
  getValue(Employee employee, String columnName) {
    switch (columnName) {
      case 'id':
        return employee.id;
        break;
      case 'name':
        return employee.name;
        break;
      case 'salary':
        return employee.salary;
        break;
      case 'designation':
        return employee.designation;
        break;
      default:
        return ' ';
        break;
    }
  }

Create an instance of DataGridSource and set this object to the source property of SfDataGrid.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text('Syncfusion DataGrid'),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Expanded(
          child: SfDataGrid(
            source: _employeeDataSource,
          ),
        ),
      ));
}

Defining columns

SfDataGrid supports showing different data types (int, double, String, and DateTime) in different types of columns. You can add the column collection to the columns property.

You can also load any widget in a column using the GridWidgetColumn and cellBuilder properties in SfDataGrid.

final EmployeeDataSource _employeeDataSource = EmployeeDataSource();
  
@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    appBar: AppBar(
      title: Text('Syncfusion DataGrid'),
    ),
    body: Center(
      child: Expanded(
        child: SfDataGrid(
          source: _employeeDataSource,
          columns: [
            GridNumericColumn(mappingName: 'id', headerText: 'ID'),
            GridTextColumn(mappingName: 'name', headerText: 'Name'),
            GridTextColumn(
                mappingName: 'designation', headerText: 'Designation'),
            GridNumericColumn(mappingName: 'salary', headerText: 'Salary'),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    ),
  );
}

The following screenshot illustrates the result of the above code sample.
