Combine from multiple json url's?

[Steve]

Hello,

Is it possible to have a DataSource read and combine from multiple json files?

Something like:

var ds1 = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport: {
        read: [
            { url: function() { return "data/Monday.json"; }, dataType: "json"},
            { url: function() { return "data/Tuesday.json"; }, dataType: "json"}
            ]
    },

If not, is there an alternative that allows combining DataSources together?

Hi Demetrus,

I am afraid that this is not supported by Kendo DataSource - by design the component's transport can read data from a single url at a time.

It is possible to define a custom transport function, which gives the developer an opportunity to implement his/hers own read logic. You can find an example in the corresponding documentation.

• http://docs.kendoui.com/api/framework/datasource#configuration-transport.read

Regarding your second question, it is not possible to literally "combine" DataSources together. If you wish to achieve a similar effect, you can use the data method to get data from and set data to a given DataSource instance.
