How dataSource.transport work for data format?

[sojin]

 

Hi, I want to send data for json format. 

 

This is my data format.

data = {models: Array(1)}, type = "update....

I want to send data like this.

data = {foo: 'bar', locale: 'en', name: 'test', description: '1', ...}

 

This data is same as {models:Array(1)} 's array.

 

My code is here. I used parameterMap to data format for change.

                parameterMap: function (data, type) {
                     if (type === "update") {
                        debugger;
                        return kendo.stringify(data.models[0]);
                    }
                    return kendo.stringify(data);
                }

But when sending data, DataSource.transport.update send another data like this.

 

        var users = new kendo.data.DataSource({
            transport: {
                update: {
                    contentType: contentType,
                    url: function (options) {

                        return base_api_url_manage_users + "info/" + options.models[0].userId ;
                    },
                    type: "PUT",
                },

They send this format.

data = {models: Array(1)}, type = "update....

 

I want to send data form as Objcet, not as Object in Array. How can I change this data format???

Please help me.

 

Thank you.

Hi,

You can do that by creating a custom update function that handles the AJAX request and passing the data parameter as per to your requirements: 

        update: function(options) {
          $.ajax({
            url: "https://url.to.endpoint",
            // send the updated data items as the "models" service parameter encoded in JSON
            data: {
              models: options.data.models[0] // or kendo.stringify(options.data.models[0])
            },
            success: function(result) {
              // notify the data source that the request succeeded
              options.success(result);
            },
            error: function(result) {
              // notify the data source that the request failed
              options.error(result);
            }
          });
        }
      },

This is shown as an option in the second example of the transport.update option.
