How to get the object which represents the selected row in a slickgrid

Question

I have a webpage with a slickgrid which renders an array of objects on a grid. I want to do some dynamic stuff (a master-detail like setup) when the selected row changes. However to be able to do this, I would need the data of the selected row. I know that the grid.getCurrentCellNode() function will give me the dom element of the current node, but what I am looking for is a javascript object. For instance, if I use an array of objects like the one below

data = [ 
        {id:1, name:'Khaja', dob:'26/07/1985'},
        {id:2, name:'Iqbal', dob:'26/07/1935'}
        ......
        ...
        ];

and if my selected row is the row with id equal to 2, I want to be able to retrive the object {id:2, name:'Iqbal', dob:'26/07/1935'} Is there a way through which I can get this object?

Answer 1

You can use the onSelectedRowsChanged event and the getSelectedRows method.

Answer 2

Sorry but I can't understand how you can get the object retrieved with getSelectedRows() method, as this method just returns the index of the selected row(s).

If the grid is about Customers, and there is the Customer ID in the first column, and the grid is sortable, how can I get it given the selected row index? How can I "look up that index in the original data source", in Khaja Minhajuddin words?

Thanx
