}
const handleBtnAction = () => {
const data = [];
gridApi.forEachNode(node => node.data && data.push(node.data));
console.log("Grid datasource:", data);
}
// ...
// ...
return (
<div class="App">
<h2>Get datasource from React AG Grid - <a href="https://www.cluemediator.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Clue Mediator</a></h2>
<button class="btn-action" onclick={handleBtnAction}>Get datasource</button>
<div class="ag-theme-alpine ag-style">
<aggridreact ...="" pagination={true} paginationpagesize={5} ongridready={onGridReady}>
