Create new datasource

[James]

I am trying to create a new Kendo DataSource, but my data does not contain anything even though my result.data is an array of 14 items.

01.shipmentService.getBasicChartData(request)
02.   .then(function (result) {
03.      var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
04.          data: result.data,
05.          sort: {
06.              field: "date",
07.              dir: "asc"
08.          },
09.          schema: {
10.              model: {
11.                  fields: {
12.                      date: {
13.                          type: "date"
14.                      }
15.                  }
16.              }
17.          }
18.   });

Why is my data not being assigned? My sort item seems correct.

Hello James,

Take a look at this dojo illustrating how to use sort in a Kendo DataSource.  In the console, you will see the data sorted correctly.  For more information pertaining to sort, here is our documentation.  I would also make sure the data you are passing is not null.

Hopefully, this steers you in the right direction.

Thanks for the reply but the problem is that my _data is never populated.  It has a length of 0.  I was just saying the sort object was populated with what seemed like the correct data but the _data is not.

Hi James,

The next step I would recommend is for you to create a dojo or update the one I sent you illustrating the behavior you are describing and replying with the results in this post. This is so we can isolate the issue and find a solution.
