Filter fields from nested JSON object

[Austin]

I am using the following JSON data in my Kendo ListView DataSource:

[
  {
    "Id": 2,
    "Name": "My Name",
    "Address": "123 Sesame Street",
    "City": "My City",
    "State": "MO",
    "ProductTypes": [
      {
        "Id": 2,
        "Name": "Cage Free"
      },
      {
        "Id": 3,
        "Name": "Free-Trade"
      },
      {
        "Id": 4,
        "Name": "GAP"
      },
      {
        "Id": 6,
        "Name": "Grass Fed"
      }
    ]
  }
]

 

Now here is my goal/issue. I would like to filter the datasource when a checkbox is checked and the field I would like to filter by is the `ProductTypes.Name` field.

However, I'm not sure how to get this working correctly.

Here is my DataSource:

profileDataSource: new kendo.data.DataSource({

    transport: {

        read: {

            url: "/Profile/GetAllProfiles",

            dataType: "json"

        }

    },

    schema: {

        model: {

            fields: {

                Id: { type: "number", editable: false, nullable: true },

                Name: { type: "string" },

                ProductTypes_Name: { type: "string", from: "ProductTypes.Name" }

            }

        }

    }

})

 

And here is how I'm currently trying to filter but it's not working:

$("#profileCertificationsListView").on("click", "input[type=checkbox]", function() {

    viewModel.profileDataSource.filter({

        filters: [

            { field: "ProductTypes_Name", operator: "eq", value: $(this).attr("name") }

        ]

    }

});

 

If I check the checkbox that has the name "Cage Free" for example, all of the items in the listview are hidden.

I was able to figure out a solution:

$("#profileCertificationsListView").on("click", "input[type=checkbox]", function () {
    var name = $(this).attr("name");
    var list = $("#profileDirectoryListView").data("kendoListView").dataSource.data();
    var filtered = [];
    for (var i = 0; i < list.length; i++) {
        for (var j = 0; j < list.length; j++) {
            if (list[i].ProductTypes[j].Name === name) {
                filtered.push(list[i]);
            }
        }
    }

    $("#profileDirectoyrListView").data("kendoListView").dataSource.data(filtered);
});

Hello Austin,

You can also use a custom function for the filter operator e.g.

profileDataSource.filter({
  field: "ProductTypes",
  operator: function (itemValue, value) {
      return itemValue && itemValue.find(function (item) {
          return item.Name === value;
      });
  },
  value: $(this).attr("name")
});

Filtering on array fields will not work by default.

Thanks for that suggestion Daniel. I'll try it out as it seems like a much cleaner way of going about it.

Hello,

Here is a sample of listview which uses JSON data for Datasource, which you could use as a reference for building your custom implementation:

https://dojo.telerik.com/EGAHaHUl/11 

You could refer also the the following online resources which might be helpful for setting up your application with Kendo datasource:

• The API reference of Kendo Datasource: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource 
• DataSource documentation: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/framework/datasource/overview 
• kendo DataSource demos, which demonstrated different approaches for binding: https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/datasource/index 
• Article that illustrates the usage of Kendo datasource with ListView component: https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/listview/configuration/datasource 

I hope you will find this information useful.

Please don't hesitate to contact us again if a specific issue pops up or in case you have other feedback or questions related to Kendo UI components.
