Which options can I change in groupingGroupBy function of jqgrid?

As I saw in jqgrid wiki 'groupingGroupBy' has two parameters: 'name' and 'options'. What is 'option' and can i change groupingView parameters like groupSummery?

Solution

  • If you examine the source code of groupingGroupBy method you will find the only line where the options parameter will be used:

    $t.p.groupingView = $.extend($t.p.groupingView, options || {});

    So one can use options parameter to change properties of the groupingView parameter of jqGrid. The documentation of groupingGroupBy method gives you the same information.

    Perform a grouping by given name. A set of additional options can be set with the option parameter. The groupingView object is extended with the options parameter.

    It's important to understand that jQuery.extend function merge the contents of existing properties of groupingView parameter with options. So if you changes for example groupField property and you specified groupText properties before then both the properties will be in the new settings. Don't forget to change all properties which depends from each other.
