DataGrid features

Column types - Support to load any widget in a each column.

Editing - Allows users to edit cell values. An editor widget can be loaded based on the column type to edit cell values.

Column sizing - Set the width of columns with various sizing options. Fit the columns based on the value of the cells to improve readability.

Row height - Set the height for header and data rows. Fit the rows based on the value of the cells to improve readability. Also, set the different height for specific rows.

Sorting - Sort one or more columns in the ascending or descending order.

Selection - Select one or more rows. Keyboard navigation is supported for web platforms.

Styling - Customize the appearance of cells and headers. Conditional styling is also supported.

Stacked headers - Show unbound header rows. Unbound header rows span stacked header columns across multiple rows and columns.

Load more - Display an interactive view when the grid reaches its maximum offset while scrolling down.

Paging - Load data in segments. It is useful when loading huge amounts of data.

Footer - Show an additional row that can be displayed below to last row. Widgets can also be displayed in the footer row.

Freeze Panes - Freeze the rows and columns when scrolling the grid.

Swiping - Swipe a row right to left or left to right for custom actions such as deleting, editing, and so on. When the user swipes a row, the row will be moved and the swipe view will show the custom actions.

Pull to refresh - Allows users to refresh data when the DataGrid is pulled down.

Theme - Use a dark or light theme.

Accessibility - The DataGrid can easily be accessed by screen readers.

Right to Left (RTL) - Right-to-left direction support for users working in RTL languages like Hebrew and Arabic.

Coming soon

• Column resizing
• Column drag and drop
• Grouping

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()

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

List<Employee> employees = <Employee>[];

late EmployeeDataSource employeeDataSource;

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();
  employees= getEmployees();
  employeeDataSource = EmployeeDataSource(employees: employees);
}

 List<Employee> getEmployees() {
  return[
  Employee(10001, 'James', 'Project Lead', 20000),
  Employee(10002, 'Kathryn', 'Manager', 30000),
  Employee(10003, 'Lara', 'Developer', 15000),
  Employee(10004, 'Michael', 'Designer', 15000),
  Employee(10005, 'Martin', 'Developer', 15000),
  Employee(10006, 'Newberry', 'Developer', 15000),
  Employee(10007, 'Balnc', 'Developer', 15000),
  Employee(10008, 'Perry', 'Developer', 15000),
  Employee(10009, 'Gable', 'Developer', 15000),
  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:

• rows: Fetches the rows available for data population. Also, it is used to fetch the corresponding data object to process the selection. This contains the collection of DataGridRow where each row contains the collection of DataGridCell. Each cell should have the cell value in value property. value is used to perform the sorting for columns.

• buildRow: Fetches the widget for each cell with DataGridRowAdapter.

class EmployeeDataSource extends DataGridSource {
  EmployeeDataSource({List<Employee> employees}) {
     _employees = employees
        .map<DataGridRow>((e) => DataGridRow(cells: [
              DataGridCell<int>(columnName: 'id', value: e.id),
              DataGridCell<String>(columnName: 'name', value: e.name),
              DataGridCell<String>(
                  columnName: 'designation', value: e.designation),
              DataGridCell<int>(columnName: 'salary', value: e.salary),
            ]))
        .toList();
  }

  List<DataGridRow>  _employees = [];

  @override
  List<DataGridRow> get rows =>  _employees;

  @override
  DataGridRowAdapter? buildRow(DataGridRow row) {
    return DataGridRowAdapter(
        cells: row.getCells().map<Widget>((dataGridCell) {
      return Container(
        alignment: (dataGridCell.columnName == 'id' || dataGridCell.columnName == 'salary')
            ? Alignment.centerRight
            : Alignment.centerLeft,
        padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
        child: Text(dataGridCell.value.toString()),
      );
    }).toList());
  }
}

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 load any widget in columns. You can add the column collection to the columns property.

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  return Scaffold(
    appBar: AppBar(
      title: const Text('Syncfusion Flutter DataGrid'),
    ),
    body: SfDataGrid(
      source: employeeDataSource,
      columns: <GridColumn>[
        GridColumn(
            columnName: 'id',
            label: Container(
                padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
                alignment: Alignment.centerRight,
                child: Text(
                  'ID',
                ))),
        GridColumn(
            columnName: 'name',
            label: Container(
                padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
                alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
                child: Text('Name'))),
        GridColumn(
            columnName: 'designation',
            width: 120,
            label: Container(
                padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
                alignment: Alignment.centerLeft,
                child: Text('Designation'))),
        GridColumn(
            columnName: 'salary',
            label: Container(
                padding: EdgeInsets.all(16.0),
                alignment: Alignment.centerRight,
                child: Text('Salary'))),
      ],
    ),
  );
}

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