Getting dropdown values from an external HTTP source

Dropdown params from external HTTP call

The example below displays the usage of a HTTP Request to get data from a source, then using that to set the Cell Editor dropdown values.

To achieve this behaviour we created a function which targets the name column and updates its cell editor values:

function setNameCellEditorValues(values) {
  var colDefs = gridOptions.api.getColumnDefs()
  colDefs[0].cellEditorParams.values = values;
  gridOptions.api.setColumnDefs(colDefs);
}

For more details implementing this behaviour please see the following example:
