How to get current query from the grid

[Marcin]

Hello
I would like to add custom action that is fired outside of grid, but with grid current result set (without paging). So I would like to pass to my action grid related query string like sort, filter, group. Is it possible to obtain current query params in the same way as when using grid with server sorting, paging filtering and grouping?

I couldn't find any method on data source or grid to get grid query string.

Regards
Marcin

Hello Marcin,

You can use the respective sort(), group() and filter() methods of the DataSource, so you can obtain the current configuration of the Kendo UI Grid. 

Please check the following API reference:

Hello,
I know, but how to get these values formatted in the same way like for query string instead of object: eg: get filter as following string:
filter=Postcode~startswith~'p'

Hello Marcin,

A similar approach is used in one of our code-library project. Please check the following link:

The functionality that you are looking for should be under views/home/index.cshtml
