HierarchicalDataSource CRUD example

[Bojan]

Dear Sirs,

Is there possibility that we get example of CRUD GRID with HierarchicalDataSource, or it can be used only for data reading?

model sample is this:

Student{
  id,
  name,
  TookExams{
    id,
    name
  }
}

Can we update this in one grid via single DataSource?

Regards,
Bojan

Hello all,

The grid does not support binding to the HierarchicalDataSource out of the box -- only the TreeView does, and it uses it in a read-only fashion.

All the best,

Hi,

What kind of backend/response does the TreeView with remote binding to HierarchicalDataSource expect? The example given makes requests to /Employees using JSONP, but otherwise the documentation doesn't really specify what the datasource expects or how it populates and renders the treeview. Can my backend return JSON and I specify dataType: 'json' in transport.read?

Thanks,
Tracy

Hello Tracy,

The documentation of the HierarchicalDataSource states exact server responses in JSON format.
