Key Pairs in the Data Source

[Bryan]

I have a JSON string that I'm trying to convert to a datasource then bind to one of the controls. The string looks like this:

var TestData =  [ {"Category": "1", "Attributes": [{"Attribute": "A", "Attribute": "B", "Attribute": "C" }] }]

 then the datasource declaration is like this:

    var thisData = new kendo.data.DataSource({
        data: $.parseJSON(TestData),
        schema: {
            model: {
                fields: {
                    Category: { type: 'string' },
                    Attributes: {
                        Attribute: { type: 'string' }
                    },
                }
            }
        }
    })​

 When I bind to a listview and try to loop through the values in a template, it always tells me the length of the Attributes list is 1 and displays the last value ("C"). Is there something wrong in the declaration?

Hi,

The Attributes array consists of a single element so that's working pretty much as expected.
The Attribute key is defined multiple times and consequently only the last value is taken into account.

Perhaps what you mean to serialize is:
[ {"Category": "1", "Attributes": [{"Attribute": "A"}, {"Attribute": "B"}, {"Attribute": "C"}] }]

 

I hope this helps.
