• Internationalization

Notable Fixes

• Added getDir and setDir on the <zinggrid> object

Release v1.1.1

• Added internationalization
  • en.js is the default file used. When you define another language lang="es" it will look for that registered lang file es.js. If that file doesn't exist then the grid will use smart defaults for that language as best as it can for currency and date columns.
  • Defaults to lang set on html tag <html lang=”es”>
  • Can set lang per grid <zing-grid lang=”es”>
  • Can set global lang through api ZingGrid.setLanguage(‘es’);
  • Can set custom lang file with ZingGrid.registerLanguage(obj, 'custom') and the appropriate language file JavaScript object.
• Added HTML standard direction dir="rtl" and dir="ltr"
• Added internationalization to date columns. If you define <zg-column type="data" locale="de"> it will add the appropriate formatting to that column. The columns will default to the global <html lang attribute, then <zing-grid lang and the <zg-column lang will override all.
• Added conventionally standard tokens (moment.js) to date columns for custom date formatting <zg-column type=”date” type-date-format=”[Month:] MM”>
• Refined currency columns for smart defaults to detect lang to format numbers. You still need the type-currency="EUR" attribute to define the currency symbol.
• Added locale to number renderer
• Refined filter/search to match the current language
  • If the default lang on the page is english then we use standard sort. If you have any other language defined you can override sort/filter functionality with the following properties:
  • You can turn this off with <zing-grid sort-intl=”disabled”>
  • You can turn this ON with <zing-grid sort-intl> and <zg-column sort-intl>
• Added defaultdisplay attribute to zinggrid and zgcolumn to display when the data value is null or undefined
• Added [position="both"] attribute to <zgsource>
• Added compact property to <zinggrid> to mirror [compact] attribute
• Added params property (not attribute) to ZingGrid to allow setting of data params via JavaScript
• Added params property to new ZingGrid to allow setting of data params on object render

  // define params for fetching data
  const params = {
    // define the main source for the API
    src: 'https://swapi.co/api/people/',
    // define the path in the JSON to get the array of results. In this case it is body.results
    recordPath: 'results',
    // if loadByPage is set to true it will go to the server for each new page of data
    loadByPage: 'true',
    // define the "page" query parameter
    pageKey: 'page',
    // Need to tell ZG how many records were returned so it knows how to divide up the page-size
    countPath: 'count',
    // define the path in the result JSON to find next/prev urls
    nextPath: 'next',
    // define the path in the result JSON to find next/prev urls
    prevPath: 'previous',
    // Need to tell ZG how mto search the API
    searchKey: 'search',
  };
