Is there a way to return the ids of rows instead of indexes when using the select plugin?

[isaacfink]

pretty much the title, I am trying to get the ids of all the rows selected, is there a way pass a string for the plugin to use as a key for the id? so instead of getting this back

[
   {index:boolean}
]

i would get something like this

[
   {string:boolean}
]

until now I was mapping it to the real ids by checking the index against the original data store but now I implemented sub rows which means the indexes won't match up, writing this I looked at the result of selecting a subrow and i see it's handled well but it still leaves a lot of work for me to do, I think mapping the index to an id on the library level would be a better solution

I added this option

{
	rowDataId: (row) => row.id
}

to table.createViewModel but I still have the same issue with subrows

I must have missed this use case and not transformed the IDs for subrows. I'll look into fixing this by the week, or if you'd like to help you can contribute changes to the addSubRows plugin.

Hi, I have same question. In my data there is field id (not shown in table). How to get selectedDataIds with id not row number?

[bryanmylee]

Hmm, rowDataId should be filling the data ids which should mean selectedDataIds returns your row.id. This is probably a bug with addSubRows.

Can I confirm you're using sub rows with addSubRows and not addGroupBy?

[Tihomir971]

I'm not using subrows or group by. Just regular flat table

[Tihomir971]

I fix it with

rowDataId: (row) => row.id.toString()

Hello, @isaacfink, @Tihomir971, @bryanmylee (sorry for the pings)

But I couldn't figure out the solution from your suggestions.

Anyone mind sharing a detailed snippet? I would appreciate the help.

[Tihomir971]

this is what i'm using
$: strSelectedDataIds = Object.keys($selectedDataIds).map(Number);

[shyakadavis]

Hi;

This just returns the indexes of the selected rows in this format: { 0: true }

I want the actual ID of the row(s).

Any hints?

🤦🏽‍♂️

Re-read the above conversations, (slowly this time), and figured it out.

// where you're configuring everything
...
const table_model = table.createViewModel(columns, { rowDataId: (row) => row.id });
...
