How to implement [Check All] Checkbox in Kendo ui grid

Piyush Bhatt 06/13/2017 09:00 AM

It’s a common requirement to have a checkbox in the one of the column and also have a checkbox in the column header. When user clicks on header checkbox, all the checkboxes in all rows should be checked or toggled. This can be achieved with a following approach.

function toggleAll(className) {

    e = window.event;

    var checked = $(e.target).context.checked;

    //var grid = $(e.target).closest('.k-grid').data("kendoGrid");

 

    $(e.target).closest("div .k-grid-header").siblings().find(className).each(function(ndx) {

        $(this).prop('checked', checked);

    });

}

To use above function, here is how the grid configuration would looks like:

var grid = $("#grid").kendoGrid({

    toolbar: ["create"],

    columns: [

      { field: "",

          headerTemplate: '<input type="checkbox" onclick="toggleAll(\'.sel-checkbox\')" />',

          template: "<input class='sel-checkbox' type=checkbox />"

      },

      { field: "name" },

      { field: "age" },

      { field: "percent"},

      { field: "",

          headerTemplate: '<input type="checkbox" onclick="toggleAll(\'.sel-checkbox2\')" />',

          template: "<input class='sel-checkbox2' type=checkbox />"

      },         

    ],

    //your rest of the grid configuration..

}

 

Please note that className is passed here to the toggleAll function to identify the column. You can employ other method such as passing field name and finding the field within each row.

Here is another version of above code that utilizes data model’s field name to toggle the checkbox.

function toggleAll(fieldName) {

    e = window.event;

    var checked = $(e.target).context.checked;

    var grid = $(e.target).closest('.k-grid').data("kendoGrid");

    grid.dataSource.data().forEach(function(d) {

        d.set(fieldName, checked);

    });

}

Here is the grid configuration that calls above method:

var grid = $("#grid").kendoGrid({

    toolbar: ["create"],

    columns: [

      { field: "isSelected",

          headerTemplate: '<input type="checkbox" onclick="toggleAll(\'isSelected\')" />',

          template: '<input #=isSelected? \'checked\' : \'\' # type=checkbox />'

      },

      { field: "name" },

      { field: "age" },

      { field: "percent", template: "#=kendo.format('{0:p}', percent)#" },

      { field: "isActive",

          headerTemplate: '<input type="checkbox" onclick="toggleAll(\'isActive\')" />',

          template: '<input #=isActive? \'checked\' : \'\' # type=checkbox />'

      },          

    ],

    //rest of the configuration


In above example, it’s assumed that you have a field for the checkbox in your data model and you want to set the field value in all records within data source.
