Datasource Bind to Form / Input

[Christopher]

Hey guys,

perhaps a simple question, but i'm a little bit confused about this... How can i bind a remote datasource to a simple form. I know already which ID i want to use, but i don't know how to get the one specific ID and bind the Field to an input. In this case i open my page "http://myurl/form.php?id=618" and would like to fill out the whole form.

Thanks,
Chris

 

<form id="myForm">
  <ul>
    <li>
      <input type="text" id="myField" class="k-textbox" data-bind="value:myField" />
    </li>
  </ul>
</form>

<script>
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    transport: {
        read: {
            url: "http://myURL",
            dataType: "json",
            type: "GET",
            contentType: "application/json"
        }
    },
    schema: {
        model: {
            id: "ID",
            fields: {
                ID: "ID",
                myField: "myField",
            }
        }
    }
});
</script>

Hello Christopher,

The DataSource is design to work with a collection of objects. Therefore, you will need to pick one of the objects, available in the DataSource and bind the form to it. Similar scenario is demonstrated in this online demo.
