How to use the transport object with local/in-momory data?

[Florian]

Hi,

the datasource documentation (http://docs.kendoui.com/api/framework/datasource#filter) says, that the transport object can also be used with local / in-memory data.

All samples are based on transport objects with remote data.

Can anybody show a small sample which uses the transport object with local data und implements methods for create, read and update to see how data is manipulated and made persistent in the local data store.

Thanks
Florian

Hi Florian,

I'm not sure if you figured out how to achieve this on your own, but this is how I do it. I use local arrays to store data when I'm first creating a GUI and all it's interactions, and then when everything works the way I want it to, I change the dataSource to use remote data.

var local = [];

var localDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

  data: local,

  pageSize: 100,

  schema: {

    model: entityModel

  },

  sort: [{ field: 'Created', dir: 'desc'}],

  transport: {

    create: function (operation) {

      local.push(operation.data);

      operation.success();

    },

    read: function (operation) {

      operation.success(local);

    }

  }

});
