Field Types in Data Source Schema

[KobusVisagie]

Hi,

I'm looking for a list in the documentation for Data Source that defines what types of fields can be defined for a configured schema. The code below is from your example here: http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/editing-custom.html 

For example: UnitPrice is specified as type "number". Where can I get the list of all these types? 

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

                       pageSize: 30,

                       data: products,

                       autoSync: true,

                       schema: {

                           model: {

                             id: "ProductID",

                             fields: {

                                ProductID: { editable: false, nullable: true },

                                ProductName: { validation: { required: true } },

                                Category: "Category",

                                UnitPrice: { type: "number", validation: { required: true, min: 1} }

                             }

                           }

                       }

                    });

Found it! https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource/configuration/schema#schemamodel

Where is this document nowadays?

Hello guys,

The available options are "string", "number", "boolean", "date". The default is "string".
They are documented in Model's API reference, section Model.define:

I'm trying to define a datasource for a kendo map bubble layer, and I need to have a location field, which is a LatLong like [37.52, 21.51].  

 How can I do that if there isn't a type for it?

Hello,

The type is used to provide default values and conversion methods. The list provided by Alex is not exhaustive and unrecognized values will be ignored.

Also, a small correction - the default type is "default" which means that the value will sent to the transport as-is.

Hello,

Just a quick update to this thread as the Kendo UI Documentation was updated regarding the data source schema fields - the datatypes, their parsers, the editors which are automatically generated in the context of the grid:
