get data from filter object

[Rick Hubka]

Hi.  I have a filter in place and I change it at times in js like this.

var ds = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler").dataSource;
           ds.filter([
               {
                   "logic": "or",
                   "filters": [
                       {
                           "field": "OwnerID",
                           "operator": "eq",
                           "value": 1
                       },
                       {
                           "field": "OwnerID",
                           "operator": "eq",
                           "value": 2
                       },
                       {
                           "field": "OwnerID",

In my popup custom edit window I have a dropdown with OwnerID values 1 to 8.

I want the dropdown to show only one default value if my filter is for only 1 value.

My problem is how to read/get data from the current filter.

function filterdata() {
       var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");
        var dataSource = scheduler.dataSource;
        var filters = dataSource.filter();

        alert(filters);  //  this returns the the text "Object"


      return {
            dept: 2
      };
    }

 

So...  How can I get and check the array values of the filter object?

Thanks

Hello Rick,

What you have done is actually the appropriate approach for retrieving the Scheduler DataSource filter. The alert displays "[object Object]" because this is the default result returned from the toString() method of the object. All the loaded filter options could be retrieved from the filters field of that object:

var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");
var dataSource = scheduler.dataSource;
var filter = dataSource.filter();
var filters = filter.filters;
var filtersString = '';

for (var i = 0; i < filters.length; i ++ ) {
    filtersString += (' ' + filters[i].value + ';');
}

alert('Filters:' + filtersString);

That is exactly what I needed.
