JavaScript Data GridRow Selection

Configure the grid to allow users to select rows by clicking them, focusing a row and pressing ␣ Space or via API.

Enabling Row Selection

Row selection is configured with the rowSelection grid property. Setting rowSelection.mode to either 'multiRow' or 'singleRow' will allow you to select rows by clicking, focusing a row and pressing ␣ Space, or via the selection API.

const gridOptions = {
    rowSelection: {
        mode: 'singleRow',
    },

    // other grid options ...
}

The following example illustrates a basic row selection configuration. Use the select control to choose the default single row or multi-row configuration.

See detailed documentation on the two row selection modes:

• Single Row Selection
