API Reference

Model API:

Instead of passing SlickGrid an array of row objects, you can pass an object that holds (and updates!) all your rows. This object, which SlickGrid calls a Model, only needs to respond to a simple API:

model.getItem(i) // Returns the ith row
model.getLength() // Returns the number of items

If you modify the nth row, you will need to tell the grid that the row is invalid, and then call render() to update it:

grid.invalidateRow(n)
grid.render()

You can also call grid.invalidateRows() to invalidate a lot of rows at once, and, if you just want to re-draw the whole grid, call grid.invalidate() (which doesn't seem to need a render() call after.)

Column API

grid.getColumnIndex(columnName) - Returns the numeric index of the given column. Useful when a column index is required by the API.

grid.getColumnIndex('first_name')
