Thanks for putting that together! The functionality I’m after is more like those other examples. Your recommendation about using hooks on my other forum post pointed me in the right direction. The only tricky part was how to initialize the startRow and endRow attributes to not get an error which clicking the add or remove buttons before a row is actually selected.
Since this is part of basic CRUD, which many users need, feel free to use this as an example on the website.
I’m reading up on putting buttons in cells so I can make something more like the first example. That one uses the datatables editor, which is completely proprietary, no non-commercial license. However that editor has the option of using automatically generated modals for edition. Not sure if I have the energy to implement that.
My colleague’s having a day off so I decided to jump in and share some tips. If you plan to add buttons in cells you might find this demo helpful http://jsfiddle.net/j5y60xwn/. Although, in some cases, it would be better to switch from the onClick method to sharing logic via afterOnCellMouseDown hook.
