Filter Trouble

[Werit]

This doesn't seem to return anything (Should show Jane), am I using Filters incorrectly?

var stuff = [

                  {

                      FirstName: "Joe",

                      LastName: "Smith"

                  },

                  {

                      FirstName: "Jane",

                      LastName: "Smith"

              }];

 

 var ds = new kendo.data.DataSource({data: stuff});   

 

$("#grid").kendoGrid({

          columns:[

              {

                  field: "FirstName",

                  title: "First Name"

              },

              {

                  field: "LastName",

                  title: "Last Name"

          }],

          dataSource: ds.filter([{ field: "FirstName", operator: "neq", value: "Joe" }])

 

});

Hi Werit,

The filter has some square brackets that shouldn't be there.  Also, I would move the call to the dataSource filter function to be defined before binding to the grid, and then the grid just binds to the dataSource:

var stuff = [

                  {

                      FirstName: "Joe",

                      LastName: "Smith"

                  },

                  {

                      FirstName: "Jane",

                      LastName: "Smith"

              }];

   

var ds = new kendo.data.DataSource({data: stuff});    

  

ds.filter({ field: "FirstName", operator: "neq", value: "Joe" });

  

$("#grid").kendoGrid({

          columns:[

              {

                  field: "FirstName",

                  title: "First Name"

              },

              {

                  field: "LastName",

                  title: "Last Name"

          }],

          dataSource: ds

});

Hope this helps....

Thanks,  I guess I was just thinking about filters wring.  Is it possible to do filtering at the UI level instead of the Datasource?

Hi Werit,

Are you thinking of something like the Telerik Extensions for MVC Grid?  If so, I don't think that Kendo has anything like that yet.  You could periodically check the Readmap as well as post a request at: Kendo UI Feedback requesting the feature.  If you do post a request, let me know and I'll vote for it as well =)

Hello,

 Grid filtering is already supported. Check this demo: http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/local-data.html
