# How to add a custom action to a GridField row
|
|
|
|
In a [GridField](/developer_guides/forms/field_types/gridfield) instance each table row can have a
|
|
number of actions located the end of the row such as edit or delete actions.
|
|
Each action is represented as a instance of a specific class
|
|
(e.g [GridFieldEditButton](api:SilverStripe\Forms\GridField\GridFieldEditButton)) which has been added to the `GridFieldConfig`
|
|
for that `GridField`
|
|
|
|
As a developer, you can create your own custom actions to be located alongside
|
|
the built in buttons.
|
|
|
|
For example let's create a custom action on the GridField to allow the user to
|
|
perform custom operations on a row.
|
|
|
|
## Basic GridFieldCustomAction boilerplate
|
|
|
|
A basic outline of our new `GridFieldCustomAction.php` will look like something
|
|
below:
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
use SilverStripe\Forms\GridField\GridField_ColumnProvider;
|
|
use SilverStripe\Forms\GridField\GridField_ActionProvider;
|
|
use SilverStripe\Forms\GridField\GridField_FormAction;
|
|
use SilverStripe\Control\Controller;
|
|
|
|
class GridFieldCustomAction implements GridField_ColumnProvider, GridField_ActionProvider
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
public function augmentColumns($gridField, &$columns)
|
|
{
|
|
if(!in_array('Actions', $columns)) {
|
|
$columns[] = 'Actions';
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function getColumnAttributes($gridField, $record, $columnName)
|
|
{
|
|
return ['class' => 'grid-field__col-compact'];
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function getColumnMetadata($gridField, $columnName)
|
|
{
|
|
if($columnName == 'Actions') {
|
|
return ['title' => ''];
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function getColumnsHandled($gridField)
|
|
{
|
|
return ['Actions'];
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function getColumnContent($gridField, $record, $columnName)
|
|
{
|
|
if(!$record->canEdit()) return;
|
|
|
|
$field = GridField_FormAction::create(
|
|
$gridField,
|
|
'CustomAction'.$record->ID,
|
|
'Do Action',
|
|
"docustomaction",
|
|
['RecordID' => $record->ID]
|
|
);
|
|
|
|
return $field->Field();
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function getActions($gridField)
|
|
{
|
|
return ['docustomaction'];
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
public function handleAction(GridField $gridField, $actionName, $arguments, $data)
|
|
{
|
|
if($actionName == 'docustomaction') {
|
|
// perform your action here
|
|
|
|
// output a success message to the user
|
|
Controller::curr()->getResponse()->setStatusCode(
|
|
200,
|
|
'Do Custom Action Done.'
|
|
);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Add the GridFieldCustomAction to the current `GridFieldConfig`
|
|
|
|
While we're working on the code, to add this new action to the `GridField`, add
|
|
a new instance of the class to the [GridFieldConfig](api:SilverStripe\Forms\GridField\GridFieldConfig) object. The `GridField`
|
|
[Reference](/developer_guides/forms/field_types/gridfield) documentation has more information about
|
|
manipulating the `GridFieldConfig` instance if required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
// option 1: creating a new GridField with the CustomAction
|
|
$config = GridFieldConfig::create();
|
|
$config->addComponent(new GridFieldCustomAction());
|
|
|
|
$gridField = new GridField('Teams', 'Teams', $this->Teams(), $config);
|
|
|
|
// option 2: adding the CustomAction to an exisitng GridField
|
|
$gridField->getConfig()->addComponent(new GridFieldCustomAction());
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For documentation on adding a Component to a `GridField` created by `ModelAdmin`
|
|
please view the [GridField Customization](/developer_guides/forms/how_tos/create_a_gridfield_actionprovider) section.
|
|
|
|
Now let's go back and dive through the `GridFieldCustomAction` class in more
|
|
detail.
|
|
|
|
First thing to note is that our new class implements two interfaces,
|
|
[GridField_ColumnProvider](api:SilverStripe\Forms\GridField\GridField_ColumnProvider) and [GridField_ActionProvider](api:SilverStripe\Forms\GridField\GridField_ActionProvider).
|
|
|
|
Each interface allows our class to define particular behaviors and is a core
|
|
concept of the modular `GridFieldConfig` system.
|
|
|
|
The `GridField_ColumnProvider` implementation tells SilverStripe that this class
|
|
will provide the `GridField` with an additional column of information. By
|
|
implementing this interface we're required to define several methods to explain
|
|
where we want the column to exist and how we need it to be formatted. This is
|
|
done via the following methods:
|
|
|
|
* `augmentColumns`
|
|
* `getColumnAttributes`
|
|
* `getColumnMetadata`
|
|
* `getColumnsHandled`
|
|
* `getColumnContent`
|
|
|
|
In this example, we simply add the new column to the existing `Actions` column
|
|
located at the end of the table. Our `getColumnContent` implementation produces
|
|
a custom button for the user to click on the page.
|
|
|
|
The second interface we add is `GridField_ActionProvider`. This interface is
|
|
used as we're providing a custom action for the user to take (`docustomaction`).
|
|
This action is triggered when a user clicks on the button defined in
|
|
`getColumnContent`. As with the `GridField_ColumnProvider` interface, by adding
|
|
this interface we have to define two methods to describe the behavior of the
|
|
action:
|
|
|
|
* `getActions` returns an array of all the custom actions we want this class to
|
|
handle (i.e `docustomaction`) .
|
|
* `handleAction` method which will contain the logic for performing the
|
|
specific action (e.g publishing the row to a thirdparty service).
|
|
|
|
Inside `handleAction` we have access to the current GridField and GridField row
|
|
through the `$arguments`. If your column provides more than one action (e.g two
|
|
links) both actions will be handled through the one `handleAction` method. The
|
|
called method is available as a parameter.
|
|
|
|
To finish off our basic example, the `handleAction` method simply returns a
|
|
message to the user interface indicating a successful message.
