Summary 💡

I recently updated the MUI in my project to the latest version (version 5) in order to use new features added to the DataGrid component.

I am using apiRef prop to manage the editable feature of the grid. It seemed to me that the ref includes many functions regarding rows but is missing key function which is getAllRows.

I was wondering if it would be possible to add this function to the ref. It seems like a feature that can be achieved easily and I would be more than happy to work on it.

Hi @majdajroudi To get access to state data, we encourage the use of selectors

gridRowsStateSelector which returns the rows. You can also get the rows ids with gridRowIdsSelector and gridRowsLookupSelector which return s an object {[rowId]: rowModel}

We are documenting them, but there is still some work to do

Does that solves your problem or do you see cases where a new method is needed?

Related to #3717 which should clearly document how to access the various row listings.

And somehow to #4151 where I propose to remove some of the methods because it is not obvious why some exists and not others, and we don't want to create the 30 possible combination (for each listing we would need the method to return the listing, to return the index of a row based on its ID, to return the ID of a row based on its index).

Closing this one, we can continue the discussion on how to document it better in #3717
