Hey guys,
I'm trying to get formatting objects for rows in a table dataView.
First, I create a row selector and add it to the transformed model.
let eventSelection = this.host.createSelectionIdBuilder()
.withTable(tableDataView, j)
.createSelectionId();
Also I create colors for each selected row:
let color;
if(this.sett.colors.autoColor.value) {
color = colors[j];
} else if(this.sett.colors.isSingleColor.value) {
color = this.sett.colors.defaultColor.value;
} else if(tableDataView.rows[j].objects) {
color = tableDataView.rows[j].objects["colors"]["eventColor"]["solid"]["color"]
} else {
color = colors[j]
}
let ids;
roles.forEach(r=> {
let role = r.role;
if(role == "events") {
let val = tableDataView.rows[j][r.index];
ids = {"selection": eventSelection, "event": val, "color": color};
}
})
dv.id.push(ids);
Then, I populate the enumerateObjectInstances format bar in the following way:
case 'colors':
if(this.allData) {
for(let row of this.allData.id) {
properties.push({
objectName: propertyGroupName,
displayName: row.event,
properties: {
eventColor: row.color
},
selector: row.selection.getSelector()
})
}
}
break;
The formatting options appear fine, I take the values of the rows of one of the columns as the displayed values.
The problem is that when choosing a color for my "rows" I don't see these objects in the dataView. That is, I assume that they should appear somewhere here -
tableDataView.rows[i].objectsbut there is nothing there.
The selectors show the correct identityIndex , but there are no objects in the model for them.
