DataGrid

DataGrid displays sets of data across rows and columns.

Getting Started

DataGrid is included in the UraniumUI.Material.Controls namespace.

You can use the material namespace of UraniumUI in XAML files like the following:

xmlns:material="http://schemas.enisn-projects.io/dotnet/maui/uraniumui/material"

DataGrid can't be used standalone without csharp code. You need to bind some data to ItemsSource property.

public class MainPageViewModel : BindableObject
{
	static Random random = new();
	public ObservableCollection<Student> Items { get; } = new();
	public MainPageViewModel()
	{
		for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
		{
			Items.Add(new Student
			{
				Id = i,
				Name = "Person " + i,
				Age = random.Next(14, 85),
			});
		}
    }
	public class Student
	{
		public int Id { get; set; }
		public string Name { get; set; }
		public int Age { get; set; }
	}
}

Then use it in XAML like this:

 <controls:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" UseAutoColumns="True" Margin="30" />

Customizations

CellItemTemplate

You can customize the cell item template by using CellItemTemplate property. It is a DataTemplate that is used to render each cell item. You can use DataGridCellItem as the root element of the template. It has a DataContext of the cell item. You can use Binding to bind the properties of the cell item.

<material:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" UseAutoColumns="True" HorizontalOptions="Center">
	<material:DataGrid.CellItemTemplate>
		<DataTemplate>
			<Editor Margin="10" Text="{material:DataGridValueBinding Mode=TwoWay}" />
		</DataTemplate>
	</material:DataGrid.CellItemTemplate>
</material:DataGrid>

Columns

Auto Columns

Columns are automatically detected by DataGrid when UseAutoColumns property is set as True. It uses reflection to get properties of the data source. You can use DataAnnosations attributes to define Title of column in auto mode. Adding [DisplayName] attribute to the property will define the title of the column.

[DisplayName("Identity Number")]
public int Id { get; set; }

Custom Columns

You can also define columns manually by adding DataGridColumn to Columns property of DataGrid. UseAutoColumns must be false. You can remove it from XAML. Its default value is false.

<material:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" HorizontalOptions="Center" Margin="30">
	<material:DataGrid.Columns>
		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Name}" Title="Student Name"/>

		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Age}" Title="Student Age"/>

		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Id}" Title="Identity" />
	</material:DataGrid.Columns>
</material:DataGrid>

An ItemTemplate can be defined for each column via using CellItemTemplate property of DataGridColumn class.

<material:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" HorizontalOptions="Center" Margin="30">
	<material:DataGrid.Columns>
		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Name}" Title="Student Name"/>

		<material:DataGridColumn Title="Student Age">
			<material:DataGridColumn.CellItemTemplate>
				<DataTemplate>
					<Frame BorderColor="Blue" BackgroundColor="Transparent" Padding="5" >
						<Label Text="{Binding Age}" TextColor="Blue" />
					</Frame>
				</DataTemplate>
			</material:DataGridColumn.CellItemTemplate>
		</material:DataGridColumn>

		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Id}" Title="Identity" />

	</material:DataGrid.Columns>
</material:DataGrid>

Columns are not limited to the properties of the data source. You can also use custom columns without any property mapping. You can use CellItemTemplate to define the content of the column. That column will be rendered with your custom template. You can use any property of row for current binding.

<material:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" HorizontalOptions="Center" Margin="30">
	<material:DataGrid.Columns>
		<material:DataGridColumn PropertyName="Name" Title="Student Name"/>

		<!-- This is a custom column without a property. -->
		<material:DataGridColumn Title="Actions" >
			<material:DataGridColumn.CellItemTemplate>
				<DataTemplate>
					<Button Text="Remove"
							Command="{Binding Source={x:Reference page}, Path=BindingContext.RemoveItemCommand}"
							CommandParameter="{Binding .}"/>
				</DataTemplate>
			</material:DataGridColumn.CellItemTemplate>
		</material:DataGridColumn>

	</material:DataGrid.Columns>
</material:DataGrid>

Column Width

Column width can be defined by using Width property of DataGridColumn class. It can be set as Auto, Star or a custom value. Its type is GridLength and it'll be passed as parameter to ColumnDefinition. Auto is the default value. It will be calculated automatically. Star will take the remaining space of the grid. You can also set a custom value. It can be a double or a GridLength.

<material:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" HorizontalOptions="Center" Margin="30">
	<material:DataGrid.Columns>

		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Name}" Title="Student Name" Width="Auto"/>

		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Age}" Title="Student Age" Width="*"/>

		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Id}" Title="Identity" Width="100"/>

	</material:DataGrid.Columns>
</material:DataGrid>

TitleView

You can define a custom view for the header of the column by using TitleView property of DataGridColumn class. It is a View that will be rendered as the header of the column. You can use Binding to bind the properties of the column.

 <material:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
	<material:DataGrid.Columns>
		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Id}">
			<material:DataGridColumn.TitleView>
				<Image Source="{FontImageSource FontFamily=MaterialRegular, Glyph={x:Static m:MaterialRegular.Fingerprint}, Color={StaticResource Primary}}" />
			</material:DataGridColumn.TitleView>
		</material:DataGridColumn>

		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Name}">
			<material:DataGridColumn.TitleView>
				<Image Source="{FontImageSource FontFamily=MaterialRegular, Glyph={x:Static m:MaterialRegular.Badge}, Color={StaticResource Primary}}" />
			</material:DataGridColumn.TitleView>
		</material:DataGridColumn>

		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Age}">
			<material:DataGridColumn.TitleView>
				<Image Source="{FontImageSource FontFamily=MaterialRegular, Glyph={x:Static m:MaterialRegular.Calendar_today}, Color={StaticResource Primary}}" />
			</material:DataGridColumn.TitleView>
		</material:DataGridColumn>
	</material:DataGrid.Columns>
</material:DataGrid>

TitleTemplate

You can define a custom template for the title of the DataGrid by using TitleTemplate property. You can use Value property for binding title name of the column.

<material:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" HorizontalOptions="Center" Margin="30">
	<material:DataGrid.TitleTemplate>
		<DataTemplate>
			<Label Text="{Binding Title}" FontSize="Big" TextColor="{AppThemeBinding Light={StaticResource Primary}, Dark={StaticResource PrimaryDark}}" />
		</DataTemplate>
	</material:DataGrid.TitleTemplate>
</material:DataGrid>

Light	Dark

EmptyView

You can define a view to be shown when the data source is empty. It can be defined by using EmptyView property of DataGrid.

<material:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}">
	<material:DataGrid.EmptyView>
		<VerticalStackLayout Margin="80,20">
			<Image
				WidthRequest="40"
				HeightRequest="40"
				HorizontalOptions="Center"
				VerticalOptions="Center"
				Source="{FontImageSource FontFamily=MaterialOutlined, Glyph={x:Static m:MaterialOutlined.Backup_table}, Color={AppThemeBinding Light={StaticResource OnSurface}, Dark={StaticResource OnSurfaceDark}}}"/>
			<Label Text="No data available..." HorizontalOptions="Center"/>
		</VerticalStackLayout>
	</material:DataGrid.EmptyView>
</material:DataGrid>

Selection

DataGrid supports multiple row selection. You can add DataGridSelectionColumn column to enable selection. Selected Items can be accessed via SelectedItems property of DataGrid. You can bind it to a property of your ViewModel.

<material:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" SelectedItems="{Binding SelectedItems}">
	<material:DataGrid.Columns>
		<material:DataGridSelectionColumn />
		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Id}" Title="Identity" />
		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Name}" Title="Name" />
		<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Age}" Title="Age" />
	</material:DataGrid.Columns>
</material:DataGrid>

Dark - Desktop	Light - Mobile

SelectedItems can be handled with ObservableCollection over IList interface. So you can use INotifyCollectionChanged to handle changes in selection. The bound list will be automatically updated. You don't need to register to CollectionChanged event of SelectedItems property.

public class MainViewModel
{
    public ObservableCollection<Student> Items { get; set; }
    public ObservableCollection<Student> SelectedItems { get; set; } = new ObservableCollection<Student>();
    public ICommand RemoveSelectedCommand { get; set; }
    
    public MainViewModel()
    {
        Items = new ObservableCollection<Student>(GetStudents());
        
        RemoveSelectedCommand = new Command(() =>
        {
            foreach (var item in SelectedItems)
            {
                Items.Remove(item);
            }
        });
    }
}

<StackLayout>
	<Button Text="Delete Selected" Command="{Binding RemoveSelectedCommand}" />
	<material:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" SelectedItems="{Binding SelectedItems}">
		<material:DataGrid.Columns>
			<material:DataGridSelectionColumn />
			<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Id}" Title="Identity" />
			<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Name}" Title="Name" />
			<material:DataGridColumn ValueBinding="{Binding Age}" Title="Age" />
		</material:DataGrid.Columns>
	</material:DataGrid>
</StackLayout>

Tips

You can place an activity indicator inside the DataGrid to show loading state if you make a network call to get data.

<material:DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding Items}" HorizontalOptions="Center">
	<ActivityIndicator IsRunning="{Binding IsBusy}" Margin="40" />
</material:DataGrid>

DataGridColumn

DataGridColumn is a class that is used to define a column of DataGrid. It has the following properties:

• Title: It's used in header of the column.
• CellItemTemplate: It's used to define the template of the cell item of the column.
• Binding: It's used to define the binding of the cell item of the column.
