How to get row index of ag-grid checkbox

Question

I have a ag-grid table that has checkboxes in each row. When I click a checkbox I want to be able to determine the index of the row.

I have tried:

  onRowClick(event: any): void {
    console.log(event.rowIndex);
}

and this sort of works but not really. If I click on the row I will get the index, however if I click on the checkbox in that row I will not get the index...kinda strange. I need to get the index of the row only when the checkbox is clicked. How can I achieve this?

How did you add the checkbox? Is it a custom cell component or is it a row selection checkbox? — Guilherme Lopes, Dec 12 '21 at 08:30

Figured it out. For those looking, add this to your tag in your HTML.

(rowSelected)="getRowIndex($event)"
[rowMultiSelectWithClick]="true"

In your ts file, add:

  public getRowIndex(event : any) {
    if(event.node.selected) {
      this.rowIndex = event.node.rowIndex;
    }
