ag-grid set the column header to be a checkbox,and do the select all or deselect all column,other than only groups

Question

when using ag-grid, I want to set the first column header to be a checkbox,and do the select all or deselect all column action on all rows other than only groups.

Answer 1

Should anyone come here looking for answers this feature is already in ag-grid, just place headerCheckboxSelection: true in your column's definition.

See docs here

Answer 2

In gridOptions:

angularCompileHeaders: true

Where you are defining your columns, define the first column as such:

{
   field: 'RowSelect',
   headerName: ' ',
   checkboxSelection: true,
   suppressMenu: true,
   suppressSorting: true,
   headerCellRenderer: selectAllRenderer
 },

In that file define the renderer:

function selectAllRenderer(params) {
    var cb = document.createElement('input');
    cb.setAttribute('type', 'checkbox');

    var eHeader = document.createElement('label');
    var eTitle = document.createTextNode(params.colDef.headerName);
    eHeader.appendChild(cb);
    eHeader.appendChild(eTitle);

    cb.addEventListener('change', function (e) {
        if ($(this)[0].checked) {
            params.api.selectAll();
        } else {
            params.api.deselectAll();
        } 
    });
    return eHeader; 
}
