Hi Petyo,

I want to use the grid in my rail project.  I don't know where to start on how to bind my data in a grid.  The document says it can not bind to a server side so how can i bind it from sqlite3 to json?  I tried to use the grid using the table structure but the pagination is not working.  My simple question is  how to use the grid in ruby on rails? how to bind the existing my existing model to the grid?


Thanks!

Best Regard,

Joel

Hi Joel,

Please review this example - Binding to remote data. The DataSource supports variety of formats, including JSON, which you can easily render from the server.

Is there other way I can bind sqlite directly to the grid?  And does it mean we have to convert our data to JSON so that we can bind in the grid? 

Thanks.

Hello Joel,

The Grid widget (in fact, all Kendo widgets) is client-side only. Direct binding to a database server is not supported.

Rails has an excellent support for rendering ActiveRecord model instances in JSON format, which can be consumed by the DataSource component.
