Reload data into grid using Filereader

[robfParticipant]

Hi,

I’m testing jqxgrid whereby I use HTML FileReader to read and load a json file into the grid. The grid is set up to use ‘localdata’ which is kept in a variable once the data is read from the file.

What is the recommended way to reload the grid with the new data after the user selects another file. I understand the approach may be the same regardless of where the data comes from, but I want to make sure I’m not recreating the grid when I reload.

I tried to use the following but it doesn’t to work as expected as the grid is not updated nor refreshed.

// gridSource defined once
gridSource.localdata = myFileContent;
$("#jqxgrid").jqxGrid('updatebounddata', 'cells');

Any direct assistance or links would be appreciated!

Hello Rob,

The updatebounddata method – updates the bound data and refreshes the grid.
No matter from where you get the data, you need to update the source and should use ‘updatebounddata’ method.
Please, take a look at this example.
