How do I use serverFiltering with read in TreeView

[Grant]

Hi, 

So I have Treeview that reads Channel Data from a remote Hierarchical DataSource:

var hierarchical_dataSource_channelNodes = new kendo.data.HierarchicalDataSource({
  transport: {
    read: {
      url: "/planner/channelnodes/forTree",
      type: "GET",
      dataType: "json"
    }
  },
  schema: {
    model: {
      id: "id",
      hasChildren: "hasChildChannelNodes"
    }
  }
});

 

So as above, tree nodes (child channels) are retrieved on an as needed bases, when a node is opened, this is donw by executing this URL: "/planner/channelnodes/forTree/1" (for example I expans the first node).

So this is where my issue starts, Id like to implement serverFitlering as well, how can I also execute a filter (ie. add the filter param to the URL) when a tree node is expanded and the read URL is executed? Is there a way to execute a read and filter together or to append the 'filter' param & value to the read URL during a 'requestStart' or 'parameterMap' or a read request?

Thanks and kind Regards,
Grant

Hello Grant,

The desired result can be achieved by passing the additional parameters to the server using the transport.read.data property of the DataSource:

Please check a thread in our forum on similar subject for the different approaches that can be used in this scenario:

I hope this will help to achieve the desired result.
