Access dataItem inside transport.read function

[Fernando]

I have a TreeView with HierarchicalDataSource and my question is simple: Can I access the current dataItem in the transport.read function?

For instance, consider this code:

new kendo.data.HierarchicalDataSource({
    transport: {
        read: function() {
            // Here i'll prepare my url to be called
            return "my/controller/" + dataItem.Id;
        }
    }
});

I want to access the dataItem's properties of the current expanding node inside the read function. Is this possible?

Hello Fernando,

Yes, the id is provided through the argument of the read function. See the full example in the documentation.
