Prevent Losing Data in Edit Mode

[azazlhr]

Hi,
I've searched through the Google, and here in git repo as well but couldn't find solution to following UX problem.

Lets say, when editing is enabled on the grid and user can click on a row item and start modifying. Now if user accidentally clicked on another row all unsaved changes will be lost.
Is there a way to prompt user to save changes before moving to another row?

Thank you for sharing the great work.

this change should do the trick by auto updating edited row before activate edit on another one

@devel0 , thanks for the update. But I think it's equally risky to save unsaved changes forcefully. This may result in saving accidental changes that user didn't mean to save. So I think showing a prompt would be a safe approach.

There is no callback when user clicks + button to insert a new row.

Scenario:

1. User edits a row, forgets to click save.
2. Clicks on + icon to insert a new row.

I want to be able to show a prompt here.

It wouldn't bad to have ability in choose desired behavior by some grid config variables defaulted to safer approach ( eg commitMode = prompt ) others value could be control ( by click on control accept icon ) or none ( the current one ). Or the one I proposed with PR would another type more auto

update
feature added in pr ( #1015 )

autocommit: false,
confirmAutocommit: true,
autocommitConfirm: "Save changes?",

• autocommit : if false (backward compatible) it does a cancelEdit
• autocommit : if true it shows a dialog to ask save changes or not ( confirmAutocommit === true ) or it save silently ( confirmAutocommit === false )

in the update controller I am showing the server side validations (error) messages to user, so when I showing this message to user, I want to keep that row enable for editing .

Please suggest what changes needs to do
