Grid Javascript: data and total for paging

[Paolo]

I am trying to get a grid working with paging.

As far as I understand, grid needs a total count of records and the data in a json array,

The array which is returned by the server call is in this format:

{"total":19,"data":[{"id":"15","user_id":"1","glucose_value":"109","post_prandial":null,"date":"2015-11-14","time":"04:30:00","created_at":"2015-11-14 04:00:00","updated_at":"2015-11-14 04:00:00","notes":"No lantus la sera prima","sys_test_types_id":"100","insulin_types_id":"0","insulin_value":"0","food_types_id":"0"},{"id":"17","user_id":"1","glucose_value":"84","post_prandial":null,"date":"2015-11-14","time":"13:30:00","created_at":"2015-11-14 12:30:28","updated_at":"2015-11-14 12:30:28","notes":"Basale 109.

 While grid javascript is this:

$(document).ready(function () {
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
dataSource: { type: "json", transport: { read: "/getreportall" , },
schema: { data: "data", field of the response total: "total",
{ fields: { id: {type: "number"},
insulin_value: {type: "number"},
glucose_value: {type: "number"},
date: {type: "date"},
time: {type: "time"},   }
}
},
pageSize: 15,
serverPaging: true,
serverFiltering: true,
serverSorting: true },
height: 550,
filterable: true,
sortable: true,
pageable: true,
columns: [ { field: "date",
title: "Data",
format: "{0:dd/MM/yyyy}" },
{ field: "time",
title: "Ora" },
{ field: "glucose_value",
title: "Glicemia",
filterable: false },
{ field: "insulin_value",
title: "Insulina",
filterable: false },
] });
});

What am I missing to get his code working?

Thanks for your help

Hello Paolo,

Please ensure that the fields specified in the dataSource schema correspond to the fields returned from the service.

schema: {
    data: "data",
    total: "total" // total is returned in the "total" field of the response
  }

Hi Victor,

 the schema returner corresponds, and in fact data are displayed.

I can see the total records with the correct number and the page links.

My problem is that page links in pagination should send parameters to the service that retrieves the data.

take, skip (and maybe pagesize) are needed to the service for knowing the data to send to the grid.

as you can see, in the transport I call getreportall method without passing parameters:

dataSource: { type: "json", transport: { read: "/getreportall" , },

How can I get the take, skip and pagesize parameters from paginator to send them to the service?

Thanks

Hi Viktor,

Just to explain better:

I need, from paginator, to make a GET request with take (how many records to take), skip (how many records to skip), and pagesize for passing these parameters to my service that uses them to send the paged data.

[Paolo]

Solved.

I get data in parametermap in the datasource:

dataSource: {
          type: "json",
          contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
          type: "GET",
                  transport: {
                      read: "/getreportall",
                      parameterMap: function (data, type) {
                          if (type == "read") {

                              return {
                                  take: data.take,
                                  skip: data.skip
                              }
                          }
                      }

                  },

In this way take and skip are passet to the querystring and I can use them in my server calls.

I found this solution here.
