How to delete rows with local data in jqgrid

Question

jqGrid parameter loadonce: true is used

Selecting rows and pressing delete button

No url is set

How to delete rows in local data only and suppress this error message ? Is it possbile to set some dummy url or any other idea to allow row delete? It would be nice if add and edit forms can be used also with local data.

            url: 'GetData',
            datatype: "json",
            multiselect: true,
            multiboxonly: true, 
            scrollingRows : true,
            autoencode: true,
            loadonce: true, 
            prmNames:  {id:"_rowid", oper: "_oper" }, 
            rowTotal: 999999999,
            rownumbers: true,
            rowNum: 999999999,

Update 1

From Oleg answer I understood the following solution:

1. Disable jqGrid standard delete button
2. Add new delete button to toolbar.

3. From this button click event call provided

   grid.jqGrid('delGridRow', rowid, myDelOptions);

method. Multiple rows can selected. How to delete all selected rows, this sample deletes only one ?

Is'nt it better to change jqGrid so that delete, edit, add buttons work without url ? Currently it is required to pass dummy url which returns success always for local data editing.

Answer 1

You can use delRowData method do delete any local row.

You can do use delGridRow from the form editing if you need it. I described the way here and used for formatter:'actions' (see here, here and originally here).

var grid = $("#list"),
    myDelOptions = {
        // because I use "local" data I don't want to send the changes
        // to the server so I use "processing:true" setting and delete
        // the row manually in onclickSubmit
        onclickSubmit: function(options, rowid) {
            var grid_id = $.jgrid.jqID(grid[0].id),
                grid_p = grid[0].p,
                newPage = grid_p.page;

            // reset the value of processing option which could be modified
            options.processing = true;

            // delete the row
            grid.delRowData(rowid);
            $.jgrid.hideModal("#delmod"+grid_id,
                              {gb:"#gbox_"+grid_id,
                              jqm:options.jqModal,onClose:options.onClose});

            if (grid_p.lastpage > 1) {// on the multipage grid reload the grid
                if (grid_p.reccount === 0 && newPage === grid_p.lastpage) {
                    // if after deliting there are no rows on the current page
                    // which is the last page of the grid
                    newPage--; // go to the previous page
                }
                // reload grid to make the row from the next page visable.
                grid.trigger("reloadGrid", [{page:newPage}]);
            }

            return true;
        },
        processing:true
    };

and then use

grid.jqGrid('delGridRow', rowid, myDelOptions);

UPDATED: In case of multiselect: true the myDelOptions can be modified to the following:

var grid = $("#list"),
    myDelOptions = {
        // because I use "local" data I don't want to send the changes
        // to the server so I use "processing:true" setting and delete
        // the row manually in onclickSubmit
        onclickSubmit: function(options) {
            var grid_id = $.jgrid.jqID(grid[0].id),
                grid_p = grid[0].p,
                newPage = grid_p.page,
                rowids = grid_p.multiselect? grid_p.selarrrow: [grid_p.selrow];

            // reset the value of processing option which could be modified
            options.processing = true;

            // delete the row
            $.each(rowids,function(){
                grid.delRowData(this);
            });
            $.jgrid.hideModal("#delmod"+grid_id,
                              {gb:"#gbox_"+grid_id,
                              jqm:options.jqModal,onClose:options.onClose});

            if (grid_p.lastpage > 1) {// on the multipage grid reload the grid
                if (grid_p.reccount === 0 && newPage === grid_p.lastpage) {
                    // if after deliting there are no rows on the current page
                    // which is the last page of the grid
                    newPage--; // go to the previous page
                }
                // reload grid to make the row from the next page visable.
                grid.trigger("reloadGrid", [{page:newPage}]);
            }

            return true;
        },
        processing:true
    };

UPDATED 2: To have keyboard support on the Delete operation and to set "Delete" button as default you can add in the delSettings additional option

afterShowForm: function($form) {
    var form = $form.parent()[0];
    // Delete button: "#dData", Cancel button: "#eData"
    $("#dData",form).attr("tabindex","1000");
    $("#eData",form).attr("tabindex","1001");
    setTimeout(function() {
        $("#dData",form).focus(); // set the focus on "Delete" button
    },50);
}
