Grid-sortable / filterable?

[Chris]

Hi,

Another GridView MVVM query from me! I've got my Kendo Grid working via MVVM, which uses the grouping / paging fine (data-groupable / data-pageable / sortable), but for filtering columns I can't seem to find a property that works and this is not documented anywhere I can find. I've tried data-filterable to no avail.

Has anyone found the correct syntax for this?

Hello,

 Setting sortable should work out of the box. Filterable however cannot be currently set due to an omission on our end. Fortunately it is easy to work around this issue. Here is a running demo: http://jsfiddle.net/korchev/kEqYh/2/ 

All the best,

Amazing, thank you! Helped me a lot.

Sorry, one more thing though - for individual columns that you don't want to be filterable and are data-columns, "filterable": "false" does not work. Is there another workaround for this?

Hi,

 Actually it works: http://jsfiddle.net/korchev/kEqYh/3/

Ahhh, great! I was trying "false" as I've always had errors without using the " " quotes in the data-columns. The boolean representation works fine though. Thank you very much!

The fiddle shows the data-source of a grid can be configured using a 'run-on' value with everything jammed together:

data-source='{"schema":{"model":{"fields":{"name":{}, "age":{"type":"number"}}}}}'

Is it possible to have a more readable attribute value for setting up the data source ?

Something like:

<div id="grid"

data-role="grid"

data-sortable="true"

data-filterable="true"

data-bind="source: data"

data-source='

{ "schema":

{ "model":

{ "fields":

{ "name":{}

, "age":

{ "type":"number"}

}

}

}

}'

>The

</div>​

Is there a web standard or other rule of the road that recommends not using a multi-line  attribute value ?

The sources indicate something special can happen when the attribute value starts with [, but I'm not sure what the specifics are.
Or the one of the following methods could be modified to strip out newlines from the attribute value before processing:
- expr
- initWidget
- parseOption
- getAttribute

Hi,

 If you are using the service pack release this should work: http://jsfiddle.net/korchev/kEqYh/24/ 

There is a problem however when the opening { is on a new line (as in your case). We will fix this for our next internal build.
