Deselect selected rows from ag grid angular

Question

Is there any grid api to deselect ag-grid selected rows programatically? I'm trying to perform some operation on the selected row, basically an async operation , after which I need to deselect this row from the grid .

Answer 1

I believe it is weird but setting rowDeselection to true didn't work for me. What I wanted was simple: Being able to deselect a row when it was selected already. So I checked the Row Selection section of AG Grid's documentation and I find this:

rowMultiSelectWithClick: ... Clicking a selected row in this mode will deselect the row.

Huh! Yeah that sounds like what I need! But I don't want multiple selection...! I want single selection ONLY. So I thought maybe setting rowSelection to single will fix it and the selection will be single and deselectable. And... yes it works! The reason I was in doubt initially when doing this is using "rowMultiSelectWithClick" together with "single rowSelection" sounds contradictory, but it works anyways and this is the thing that matters really! :) So e.g., if you're using it in React (quite similar in Angular or Vanilla JavaScript), just add:

<AgGridReact
    rowSelection="single"
    rowMultiSelectWithClick={true}
    //...

this.gridOptions.api.deselectAll();
