Grid Form Control
👉 gridSettings takes entire IDBMasterConfig object for that grid and it's form.
👉 You can open N number of nested grid and forms.
Example
let dbMasterConfig: T.IDBMasterConfig = {
form: {
fields: [
[{
label: 'Remarks',
control: T.EDBMasterFormControl.grid,
path: 'remarks',
gridSettings: {
jsCode: [{
appendTo: T.EDBMasterConfigAppendTo.beforeSaveModalOpen,
code: `
console.log('hello from beforeSaveModalOpen');
formData.remarkDate = new Date();
`,
}],
operations: {
add: {
enable: true,
label: 'Add Remark',
},
hideAddConfirmation: true,
},
grid: {
operations: {
