Row hover

You can see the mouse hovering effect on the corresponding Grid rows using the enable-row-hover property, its value is true by default.
The following code example describes the previous behavior.

<ej-grid id="FlatGrid" allow-paging="true" enable-row-hover="true" datasource="ViewBag.DataSource">
        <e-columns>
            <e-column field="OrderID" header-text="OrderID"></e-column>
            <e-column field="EmployeeID" header-text="EmployeeID"></e-column>
            <e-column field="ShipCity" header-text="ShipCity"></e-column>
            <e-column field="ShipCountry" header-text="ShipCountry"></e-column>
            <e-column field="Freight" header-text="Freight"></e-column>
        </e-columns>
   </ej-grid>
namespace MVCSampleBrowser.Controllers
          {
            public class GridController : Controller
              { 
                public IActionResult GridFeatures()
                 {
                   var DataSource = new NorthwindDataContext().OrdersViews.ToList();
                   ViewBag.DataSource = DataSource;
                   return View();
                 }
             }
        }

Details template

It provides a detailed view /additional information about each row of the grid. You can render any type of JsRender template and assign the script template id in the details-template property. Also, you can change HTML elements in detail template row into JavaScript controls using the the details-data-bound event.

On enabling details template, new column will be added in grid with an expander button in it and that can be expanded or collapsed to show or hide the underlying details row respectively.

NOTE

It is a standard way to enclose the template within the script tag with type as “text/x-jsrender”.

The following code example describes the previous behavior.

<ej-grid id="FlatGrid" allow-paging="true" details-template="#tabGridContents" details-data-bound="detailGridData" datasource="ViewBag.DataSource">
        <e-columns>
            <e-column field="EmployeeID" header-text="EmployeeID"></e-column>
            <e-column field="FirstName" header-text="FirstName"></e-column>
            <e-column field="Title" header-text="Title"></e-column>
            <e-column field="City" header-text="City"></e-column>
            <e-column field="Country" header-text="Country"></e-column>
       </e-columns>
   </ej-grid>

                public IActionResult GridFeatures()
                 {
                   var DataSource = new NorthwindDataContext().OrdersViews.ToList();
                   ViewBag.DataSource = DataSource;
                   return View();
                 }
             }
        }
<script id="tabGridContents" type="text/x-jsrender">
        <div class="tabcontrol" id="Test">
                  <ul>
                      <li><a href="#gridTab{{:EmployeeID }}">Stock Grid</a></li>
                  </ul>
             <div id="gridTab{{:EmployeeID }}">
                  <div id="detailGrid">
                    </div>

          var filteredData = e.data["EmployeeID"];
          // the datasource "window.ordersView" is referred from jsondata.min.js
          var data = ej.DataManager(window.ordersView).executeLocal(ej.Query().where("EmployeeID", "equal", parseInt(filteredData), true).take(5));
          e.detailsElement.find("#detailGrid").ejGrid({
          dataSource: data,
          columns: [
                        {field: "OrderID"},
                        {field: "EmployeeID"},
                        {field: "ShipCity"},
                        {field: "ShipCountry"},
	                    {field: "Freight"}
	               ]
	     });
       e.detailsElement.find(".tabcontrol").ejTab();
      }

Alternate row styling

Alternate row styling enhances the readability of grid rows by setting different background color for every alternate row. You can enable the alternative row styling in grid by using the enable-alt-row property.

By default, its value is true, so the following code example describes the how to turn off alternate row behavior.

<ej-grid id="FlatGrid" allow-paging="true" enable-alt-row="false" datasource="ViewBag.DataSource">
        <e-columns>
            <e-column field="OrderID" header-text="OrderID"></e-column>
            <e-column field="EmployeeID" header-text="EmployeeID"></e-column>
            <e-column field="ShipCity" header-text="ShipCity"></e-column>
            <e-column field="ShipCountry" header-text="ShipCountry"></e-column>
            <e-column field="Freight" header-text="Freight"></e-column>
        </e-columns>
   </ej-grid>
namespace MVCSampleBrowser.Controllers
          {
            public class GridController : Controller
              { 
                public IActionResult GridFeatures()
                 {
                   var DataSource = new NorthwindDataContext().OrdersViews.ToList();
                   ViewBag.DataSource = DataSource;
                   return View();
                 }
             }
