Calling .get(id) does not return expected Model instance

[Richard H]

Hi There,

I am unable to determine how to use the .get() method on the DataSource object to retrieve a Model instance. Whenever I call the .get() method and pass it a value, an 'undefined' object is always returned.

I have attached complete sample files which can be used to reproduce the problem.

if (viewID === "poDetails-view") {

    var poNumber = getQueryStringParam("PO");

     

    po = ds.get(poNumber); /**** ALWAYS RETURNS 'undefined' ****/

     

    view.content.data("kendoMobileScroller").scrollElement.html(poDetailsTemplate(po));

    kendo.mobile.enhance(view.content);

}

Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,

The issue you have described is related to the model id declaration, which in this case will not work as expected. However, we have addressed this by adding support for setting the id to be a field from the processed data in case XML data is used. This improvement will be included in the Q1 2012 official release.

All the best,
Rosen

Thanks. I thought I was going crazy for a while there. I'll look forward to the fix in the next release.
