checkEditorSection

Getting help Questions
1

I implemented some custom editors (following the docs at [1]), but for some reason checkEditorSection always returns an empty value.

Shouldn’t it return where the current editing position so we can adjust the custom editor position, using the css transform offsets?

Right now, editing a cell near the bottom/right edges will clip the editor.

Hi @pedro1

I’m back with an update from our developer. Here is his feedback.

This code snippet const editorSection = this.checkEditorSection (); is used in the selectEditor to define the overlay that the editor should be displayed on, that follows top, left, bottom, top-left-corner or bottom-left-corner. This is why we need to set the correct z-index .

Let me share an example that explain how it works. If the Client use fixedColumnsLeft: 1, they would receive left and if they are not using the Fixing feature they are left with an empty string.

Here is an updated demo - https://jsfiddle.net/s9bmx2ev/

Let me know if that information helped and feel free to ask additional questions if needed.
