[OutSystems Data Grid] Where to find DataGrid APIs
outsystems-data-grid
Reactive icon
Forge asset by OutSystems

I see a lot of posts about the DataGrid where client-side APIs are used as the solution. My question is - where can I find a list of these and the documentation for them? I could not find them in the documentation resource and also looked on the Github repository and couldn't find them there. Probably just missed them?

e.g. 

GridAPI.GridManager.GetGridById($parameters.GridWidgetId).features.export.exportToExcel(true, $parameters.FileName);

I found it in a separate Git repository from the UI repository which makes sense in hindsight.

Hi @Nicholas Campbell 

Thanks exactly the way to go.
This is an ongoing process to allow developers with a more experience skillset to achieve use cases that are not offered out of the box (and some will never be since they simply aren't relevant enough to be on the product). 
In the near future, we'll work to have better documentation on the GitHub repo, similar to what we have for OutSystems UI repo.

Cheers,
GM
