Data Source cloning

[Nilesh]

Hello,

We are using the single local DataSource at many places so we want to clone the DataSource. Please suggest the best way to clone 
the dataSource.

Best Regards,

Hello Nilesh,

The dataSource does not have a clone method. Instead you may store the dataSource configuration in an object and use it every time when you want to build new instance.

var dataSourceConfig = {
  data: [{foo: "bar"}],
  pageSize: 3,
  /* etc... */
};

var ds1 = new kendo.data.DataSource(dataSourceConfig);
var ds2 = new kendo.data.DataSource(dataSourceConfig);

I hope this approach will fit in your scenario.
