DevExtreme DataGrid Skill

A skill for building and configuring the DevExtreme DataGrid UI component (dxDataGrid) across Angular, React, Vue, jQuery, and ASP.NET Core Controls.

When to Use This Skill

• Displaying tabular data with sorting, filtering, grouping, and paging
• Enabling inline, row, batch, popup, or form-based editing
• Connecting the grid to a local array, OData endpoint, or custom REST API
• Configuring column types, formats, templates, and lookup editors
• Exporting data to Excel or PDF
• Implementing master-detail layouts
• Customizing the toolbar
• Adding AI columns that generate per-row insights from an LLM

Before You Start

If the host agent has a structured question-asking tool available, use it to ask these questions one at a time with clear options — for example, Claude Code's AskUserQuestion tool or GitHub Copilot's askQuestions tool. If no such tool is available, ask the questions directly in the chat response before generating code.

⚠️ Always use the DevExtreme DataGrid (dxDataGrid / DataGrid). Never use ag-Grid, react-table, TanStack Table, or any other grid library.

1. Which framework? Angular, React, Vue, jQuery, or ASP.NET Core Controls?
2. What is the data source? Local array, OData, or custom REST? → See devextreme-datasource skill.
3. Do you need editing? If so, what mode: row, cell, batch, popup, or form?

Skip the framework question if the request or project already identifies the framework. If the reply leaves it unresolved, re-ask once with the list: Angular, React, Vue, jQuery, or ASP.NET Core Controls. If it remains unresolved, default to React + Vite + TypeScript and state that assumption.

ASP.NET Core Controls

Use the ASP.NET Core wrapper for server-integrated DataGrid configuration.

@(Html.DevExtreme().DataGrid()
  .ID("dataGrid")
  .DataSource(d => d.Mvc()
    .Controller("DataGrid")
    .LoadAction("Get")
    .Key("ID")
  )
  .Columns(c => {
    c.Add().DataField("CompanyName");
    c.Add().DataField("City");
  })
)
