# Range Handle

When working with cell selection, it can be useful to have a handle inside the last cell to enable the size of the current range to be adjusted.

## Enabling the Range Handle

To enable the Range Handle, set `cellSelection.handle` to `{ mode: 'range' }` in the `gridOptions`.

```js
const gridOptions = {
    cellSelection: {
        handle: {
            mode: 'range',
        }
    },

    // other grid options ...
}
```

The example below demonstrates simple range selection with a range handle.

#### Range Handle

```ts
import {
  ClientSideRowModelModule,
  GridApi,
  GridOptions,
  ModuleRegistry,
  createGrid,
  enableDevValidations,
} from "ag-grid-community";
import { CellSelectionModule } from "ag-grid-enterprise";
import { IOlympicData } from "./interfaces";

// Enable extended validations only for development
if (process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {
  enableDevValidations();
}

ModuleRegistry.registerModules([ClientSideRowModelModule, CellSelectionModule]);

let gridApi: GridApi<IOlympicData>;

const gridOptions: GridOptions<IOlympicData> = {
  columnDefs: [
    { field: "athlete", minWidth: 150 },
    { field: "age", maxWidth: 90 },
    { field: "country", minWidth: 150 },
    { field: "year", maxWidth: 90 },
    { field: "date", minWidth: 150 },
    { field: "sport", minWidth: 150 },
    { field: "gold" },
    { field: "silver" },
    { field: "bronze" },
    { field: "total" },
  ],
  defaultColDef: {
    flex: 1,
    minWidth: 100,
  },
  cellSelection: { handle: { mode: "range" } },
};

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));
```
