Custom json in DataSource schema

[Igor Stanek]

Hello.

I have a defined Data Source (for grid) like:

  transport: {
                 read: {
                     url: ....

 

And returned json is like:
{
data: [...],
total: xyz,
customdata: [... data not explicit for grid ...]
}

Using schema, I define data and total for grid. But is it possible to process custom data? Get to them? It's not the data I need explicitly to bind the grid. But I can not call another ajax call.

Well thank you.

I found access through:
transport / read / complete / responseJSON.
Is this a correct approach?
Thanks.

Hello, Igor,

Thank you for sharing the approach.

In this scenario, we can also suggest using a function for the read, and in the success, the additional data should be available in the result variable:
