Opening a nest will close other nests that are open for the same row.
Master detail grid
Using one nest with url to achieve a master detail grid viewusing grid api to open, close and toggle open nest for the first row:
GridNestingDemo/Index.cshtml
@(Html.Awe().Grid("MasterDetailGrid")
.Columns(
new Column { ClientFormat = DemoUtils.DetailNstBtn, Width = 100, Header = "Id" },
new Column { Bind = "Person" },
new Column { Bind = "Food.Name" },
new Column { Bind = "Location" })
.Url(Url.Action("GetItems", "LunchGrid"))
.PageSize(5)
.Resizable()
.Reorderable()
.Height(300)
.Nests(new Nest { Name = "detailnst", Url = Url.Action("LunchDetail"), LoadOnce = true }))
<br />
<p>
using grid api to open, close and toggle open nest for the first row:
</p>
<button type="button" class="awe-btn" id="btnOpenNest">Open nest</button>
<button type="button" class="awe-btn" id="btnCloseNest">Close nest </button>
<button type="button" class="awe-btn" id="btnToggleNest">Toggle nest</button>
<script>
$(function () {
var grid = $('#MasterDetailGrid');
var api = grid.data('api');
$('#btnToggleNest').click(function () {
api.nestToggle(grid.find('.awe-row:first'), 'detailnst');
});
$('#btnOpenNest').click(function () {
api.nestOpen(grid.find('.awe-row:first'), 'detailnst');
});
$('#btnCloseNest').click(function () {
api.nestClose(grid.find('.awe-row:first'), 'detailnst');
});
});
</script>
Nested grids / Hierarchical grid

The url of the grid nest is set to an action that returns a partial view (created by the user) which contains a grid, the action also receives the key of the row (Id) as a parameter.

.Nests(new Nest { Name = "detailnst", Url = Url.Action("MealGrid"), LoadOnce = true }))
Grid nest editing
Combining the PopupForm, inline popup, and grid nesting to achieve in nest editing. We have 2 nests, both with js functions specified for loading the content,
the js func uses the popup api to load the content inside the nest and binds to the popups aweclose event so that the nest will close when the popup closes.
All the popups are in the same group so opening a create popup will close other edit/delete popups etc.
