ISimpleGridDataSource<T>

The ISimpleGridDataSource<T> interface is what powers the Simple Blazor Grid, it is responsible for performing all filtering, sorting, searching and pagination of the data. A ISimpleGridDataSource<T> must be provided to the SimpleGridDataSource parameter on all Simple Blazor Grids.

This interface allows for different implementations of searching / filtering etc. depending on the source of the data (IEnumerable<T> / Entity Framework etc.) Simple Blazor Grid Core comes with an implementation of ISimpleGridDataSource<T> in the form of SimpleGridEnumerableDataSource<T>.

To use SimpleGridEnumerableDataSource<T>, simply create a new instance passing in your data to the constructor and use it as the SimpleGridDataSource parameter on your grid, see the example below for more details

<SimpleGrid
    TType="Data"
    SimpleGridDataSource="new SimpleGridEnumerableDataSource<Data>(_data)">
        <Columns>
            <SimpleColumn TType="Data" For="@(x => x.Id)" />
            <SimpleColumn TType="Data" For="@(x => x.Name)" />
        </Columns>
</SimpleGrid>

@code {
    
    public class Data
    {
        public Data(int id, string name)
        {
            Id = id;
            Name = name;
        }

        public int Id { get; }
        public string Name { get; }
    }

    private readonly List<Data> _data = new()
    {
        new(1, "Fred Jones"),
        new(2, "Daphne Blake"),
        new(3, "Velma Dinkley"),
        new(4, "Shaggy Rodgers"),
        new(5, "Scoobert 'Scooby' Doo"),
    };
}

Entity Framework

A separate package is provided for Entity Framework, it provides SimpleGridEntityFrameworkDataSource<T> as the implementation of ISimpleGridDataSource<T> by replacing some features with more database friendly implementations. For further details, see the dedicated Entity Framework page.
