w2grid.nestedFields

Indicates if field names should be parsed

Boolean, default = true

A nested field name is a name that has a dot, for example "address.line1". If .nestedFields is true, it the record array it will expect following structure.

xxxxxxxxxx
 
records: [
    ...
    { address: { line1: "line 1" } ... }
    ...
]
​

if it is false, the structure should be

xxxxxxxxxx
 
records: [
    ...
    { "address.line1": "line 1" } ... }
    ...
]
​

This property can be set during object creation:

xxxxxxxxxx
 
let grid = new w2grid({
    name: 'grid',
    nestedFields: false,
    columns : [
        { field: 'recid', text: 'ID', size: '50px' },
        { field: 'lname', text: 'Last Name', size: '30%', editable: { type: 'text' } },
        { field: 'fname', text: 'First Name', size: '30%', editable: { type: 'text' } },
        { field: 'email', text: 'Email', size: '40%', editable: { type: 'text' } },
        { field: 'sdate', text: 'Start Date', size: '120px', editable: { type: 'date' } }
        ...
    ],
    records: [
        { recid: 1, fname: 'John', lname: 'Doe', email: 'john@gmail.com', sdate: '1/3/2012' },
        { recid: 2, fname: 'Stuart', lname: 'Motzart', email: 'stuart@gmail.com', sdate: '4/13/2012' },
        { recid: 3, fname: 'Jin', lname: 'Franson', email: 'jin@gmail.com', sdate: '3/3/2012' },
        { recid: 4, fname: 'Susan', lname: 'Ottie', email: 'susan@gmail.com', sdate: '5/3/2012' },
    ]
});
​

Or any time during run-time:

w2ui.grid.nestedFields = false;
