Datasouce Read from server rather than cache when the user pulls to refresh

[eaigs]

Hi,
We have the following datasource

var messages = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport: {
        read: function(operation) {
            var cachedData = localStorage.getItem("cachedMessages");
            if (cachedData != null || cachedData != undefined) {
                operation.success(JSON.parse(cachedData));
            }
            else {
                operation.success(getMessages());
            }
        }
    }
});

I only want it to hit the server "getMessagesFromServer()" if there is no cache (which is working) or when the user "pulls to refresh" in the listview e.g.

<ul id="messages-list-view" data-role="listview" data-source="messages" data-template="message-template" data-pull-to-refresh="true">
</ul>

How can I tell messages.read that the user has forced a refresh and it needs to go to the server to get the data rather than the cache.

Thanks in advance

var messages = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    data: cachedMessages,
    transport: {
        read: function(operation) {
}});

Seems to do the trick

ASG, I'm looking to do the exact same thing and having troubles implementing it like you mention.  Could you post some more details on what you did?

What is in getMessages() ?
