Cannot retrieve Aurelia SlickGrid dataItems using getDataItemByRowIndex() or any other method.

Hi, I subscribed to the onAureliaReady even and in there I'm trying to update the background colors (to show status) of the dataItems. Since the status depends on multiple values of the dataItem I need the whole dataItem, not just one particular field.
However, when trying to access the dataItem by various means I only get "undefined"? What am I doing wrong?

I am using Aurelia v2 with vite and Aurelia-SlickGrid v7+;

aureliaGridReady(aureliaGrid: AureliaGridInstance) {

**// The following delivers output:**

    console.log("aureliaGridReady grid:"+aureliaGrid);  //[object]
    console.log("aureliaGrid.gridService:"+aureliaGrid.gridService); //[object]
    console.log("aureliaGrid.gridService allColumns:"+aureliaGrid.gridService.getAllColumnDefinitions()); 
    //[object]//[object]//[object]//[object]....
    let dataColumns = aureliaGrid.gridService.getAllColumnDefinitions();
    dataColumns.forEach(element => { console.log("Col : "+ element.name); });  // all column names are correct.

    **//The following just gives undefined:**

    console.log("aureliaGrid.gridService DataIteminRow3:"+aureliaGrid.gridService.getDataItemByRowIndex(3));
    console.log("aureliaGrid.dataview getItems():"+aureliaGrid.dataView.getItems());
    console.log("material-source-list-aureliaGridReady-SlickGrid-getDataItem3:"+this.gridObj.getDataItem(91));
    console.log("material-source-list-aureliaGridReady-SlickDataView-getDataItem3:"+this.dataViewObj.getItem(91));

}
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Mmmmhhhh, OK, so the data will only be available after getting data in aurelia binding or attached events....so just store the reference to the grid and access it after the grid has been populated...
