State Persistence
12 Jun 20231 minute to read
The state persistence is to maintain the Grid state in browser’s local storage even if browser refresh or move to next page. State persistence stores Grid’s model object in local storage while defining enable-persistence as true.
IMPORTANT
localStorage is not supported below IE9 then grid state persistence technique is fallback to cookie.

IMPORTANT
The given excluded properties can be included in persist state using the
_ignoreOnPersistproperty in grid prototype.
Accessing currently stored state
The persisted state can be accessed through local storage using corresponding key name. Key name is the combination of plugin name and control id.
var gridStateString = window.localStorage.ejGridGrid; // grid state as string
var gridStateObject = JSON.parse(window.localStorage.ejGridGrid);//grid state as objectIMPORTANT
In the above example, the “ejGrid” is plugin name and “Grid” is control id.
