SlickGrid & DataView Objects

In some cases you might want a feature that is not yet available in Aurelia-Slickgrid but exists in the original SlickGrid, what should you do? Fear not, we got you covered. Aurelia-Slickgrid exposes the SlickGrid and DataView objects through Event Aggregators, these objects are created when Aurelia-Slickgrid initialize the grid (with attached()). So if you subscribe to the Event Aggregator, you will get the SlickGrid and DataView objects and from there you can call any of the SlickGrid features.

Event Aggregator

Aurelia-Slickgrid (starting with version 1.3.x) have the following Events that you can subscribe to with an Event Aggregator:

• onDataviewCreated
• onGridCreated
• onBeforeGridCreate
• onBeforeGridDestroy
• onAfterGridDestroyed

The ones we want to use for our usage would be onGridCreated and onDataviewCreated, depending on which object you want to obtain.

SlickGrid Events (original SlickGrid)

You have access to all original SlickGrid events which you can subscribe, for more info refer to the Wiki - Grid & DataView Events
