The grid can be configured to allow simple text selection.
Enabling Cell Text Selection Copy Link
To enable text selection as if the grid were a regular table, set the grid option enableCellTextSelection = true. For the selection to work correctly, the order of the rows within the DOM must match what is displayed by setting the grid option ensureDomOrder = true.
import {
ClientSideRowModelModule,
GridApi,
GridOptions,
ModuleRegistry,
createGrid,
enableDevValidations,
} from "ag-grid-community";
import { IOlympicData } from "./interfaces";
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {
// Enable extended validations only for development
enableDevValidations();
}
ModuleRegistry.registerModules([ClientSideRowModelModule]);
let gridApi: GridApi<IOlympicData>;
const gridOptions: GridOptions<IOlympicData> = {
columnDefs: [{ field: "athlete" }, { field: "sport" }, { field: "age" }],
enableCellTextSelection: true,
ensureDomOrder: true,
};
const gridDiv = document.querySelector<HTMLElement>("#myGrid")!;
gridApi = createGrid(gridDiv, gridOptions);
fetch("https://www.ag-grid.com/example-assets/olympic-winners.json")
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((data: IOlympicData[]) => gridApi!.setGridOption("rowData", data));
<div id="myGrid" style="height: 100%"></div>
export interface IOlympicData {
athlete: string,
age: number,
country: string,
year: number,
date: string,
sport: string,
gold: number,
silver: number,
bronze: number,
total: number
}When enableCellTextSelection is set to true, the default Clipboard behaviour is disabled, and only the selected text is copied.
