Now I can configure possible filter operators and default operator on column basis. Doing so I have much copy-pasted code for each grid column.

I want to have a grid level option to configure this on "type" basis with a reusable js object (e.g. public constant shared across components):

<kendo-grid [filterOptions]="GridFilterOptions" ...

Where GridFilterOptions:

public const GridFilterOptions: ... = [
{ type: "string", default: "contains", operators: ["contains", "doesnotcontain"]},
{ type: "number", default: "eq", operators: ["eq", "neq"]}
];

Current behavior
The grid component already has the functionality to resize and reorder columns by the user, but is missing functionality for saving an restoring columns configuration, so that changes done by the user are lost after a page change.

There is the Persist the State article in the "How to section" in the documentation, but the described solution is only applicable when adding grid columns by using *ngFor. When defining columns in the markup, due to extensive usage of templates (kendoGridColumnMenuTemplate, kendoGridFilterMenuTemplate, kendoGridCellTemplate, ..), there is no reasonable solution available.

Expected behavior
Provide methods, similar to the jQuery grid, to save and restore columns configuration. This should at least include the column's order, width and sort.

PS: This is not a duplicate of the feature request Add persistent state for grid (and other components). The latter one has been marked as "Completed" but does not include the needed functionality.

Add icons for grid filter operators to easily understand current operator (DevExpress example):

Setting grid.columns[i].hidden may work to some extend, but isn't emitting columnVisibilityChange and further activities on a column set visible are not working but resulting in error, e.g. calling reorderColumn() results in:

TypeError: Cannot set property 'orderIndex' of undefined
    at GridComponent.push../node_modules/@progress/kendo-angular-grid/dist/fesm5/index.js.GridComponent.updateColumnIndices (https://localhost:4201/vendor.js:196833:43)

The grid internal method updateColumnIndices() throws an error, because it doesn't get the newly visible column from expandColumnsWithSpan() and expandedColumns.indexOf(source) is -1. 

Thus it's required to add methods like showColumn/hideColumn or setColumnVisibilty.

Add "between" grid filter row operator similar to DevExpress for angular one.

Example here:

We would like to have the possibilty to create custom implementation of grid columns (or any other control/component). Because we also have this in our WPF projects and it was very useful to minimize the redundant code and also the "initialization code". This can't be done in a simple template, for example we need to inject services and get data etc..

Example:
In our WPF project have lots of different grids with values related to units. The cell can convert this unit to and other unit itself, it can localize the texts, it shows the information in some kind of "progress bar", has a tooltip, etc... And all we have to do in the code is to set a column like this <custom-column valueField="test" unitField="test2" />.

It would be great to have this feature in the Angular 2 grid as well.

Support for showing and hiding rows in angular grid

Currently the filterCellTemplate is ignored for commnand column. It would be a handy feature if one could specify also content of filter cell for command column so in case filtering is enabled we could for example provide some suctom additional functionaly/content in that column (for example i wanted to add there a button that would reset all filters)

The group panel on the grid should be configurable to be hidden

Implement "Shift + Arrow Keys  adds the row which holds the focused cell to the selection (only for selection mode "multiple")", explained here (https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/grid/keyboard-navigation)

Please make the grid selection cancelable.

Just like KendoUI supports offline datasource sync.

In a Kendo grid, Angular/MVC/JS/Whatever;
When using multi check filter.
----
Only show those values that are still useful to filter on!!!
---

When filtering is done(one to many columns) - ONLY the remaining options should be seen when setting the NEXT filter (not all possible values in the database) of course distinct and sorted

(the grid could have an option of doing it this way or the old way)
 

example:

let's say we have 5 numbers of categories, each category have 20 different details.

when filtering is set on one category, then when filtering on details - only the 20 remaining details should be seen, not 100(5*20)

and vice verse, if filtering one detail - only one category should be seen when filtering on category.

Since column reordering is now avaialble, could you implement a way to set column index as an Input property, so it can be saved and loaded later?

Hi ,

I would like to vote for this .

Scroll position is lost when navigating between routes. A way to set scroll position on the grid would be nice for navigating to a previous route.

I am honestly quite surprised that this isn't possible... if anyone has a workaround to make this happen it would be much appreciated. All I want to do is make the grid headers go 'Vertically' and have each 'row' become a column.
