ListView(Lambda listViewConfig = null) : ListViewConfigBuilder<TEntityType>

Accesses the list view config of the given collection.

// Example
collectionConfig.ListView(listViewConfig => {
    ...
});

Adding a field to the list view

AddField(Lambda propertyExpression, Lambda fieldConfig = null) : ListViewFieldConfigBuilder<TEntityType, TValueType>

Adds the given property to the list view.

// Example
listViewConfig.AddField(p => p.FirstName, fieldConfig => {
    ...
});

Changing the heading of a field

SetHeading(string heading) : ListViewFieldConfigBuilder<TEntityType, TValueType>

Sets the heading for the list view field.

// Example
fieldConfig.SetHeading("First Name");

Formatting the value of a field

SetFormat(Lambda formatExpression) : ListViewFieldConfigBuilder<TEntityType, TValueType>

Sets the format expression for the list view field.

// Example

Setting the view of a field

With field views, you can customize the markup the list view's field so you can show richer visualizations of the field's content. For more information you can check the Field Views Documentation.

Sets the runtime visibility of the list view field.

// Example
fieldConfig.SetVisibility(ctx => ctx.UserGroups.Any(x => x.Alias == "editor"));
