Hi Lee, I'm interested in almost the same thing. Id like the boolean to have a value "some-class" instead of "1". Just from your last sentence, how do you switch the value?

Thanks

Martin.

Hello Any luck setting default values for settings in Grid?

Thanks /Bilal

Thanks Lee. I use another CMS with a PageBuilder component similar to Grid.

They use a text box to indicate a gutter. Hence you can check if the value is empty means keep default or remove and if value exists then use it.

I ran into this issue myself and was able to create a workaround.

I created a custom prevalue view with the following markup.

<label ng-controller="Umbraco.PrevalueEditors.BooleanController" for="{{htmlId}}" class="checkbox">
    <input name="boolean" type="checkbox" ng-model="model.value" ng-true-value="{{model.prevalues[0]}}" ng-false-value="{{model.prevalues[1]}}" id="{{htmlId}}" />
    <localize key="general_yes">Yes</localize>
</label>

I then consume this view with the configuration like the following

{
    "label": "Full Width",
    "description": "Makes row stretch the full width of the page.",
    "key": "class",
    "view": "/path/to/view.html",
    "prevalues": [
        "full-width",
        ""
    ]
}

Little hackish with it's use of prevalues, but it works. The first value is the value when it's true, while the second is the value when it's false. Do note that if you have multiple settings connected to a particular key, like "class," you will need to modify the key to make it distinct and then filter that change out in the grid partial. The grid doesn't allow multiple settings to use the same key at the moment unfortunately (see here for details).

As for setting default values, there isn't a nice way to do that from the grid configuration, as settings aren't added to the to the row/cell until they have a value. It is possible to have default values by modifying grid partial, which would be something like the following inside the RenderElementAttributes function.

var attrs = new List<string>();
JObject cfg = contentItem.config;
if (cfg == null || cfg.gutter == null) {
    attrs.Add("gutter=\"{desiredValue}\"");
}
