[Solved] Is it possible to change how data is recieved on runtime?

[Can]

I want to do something like this:

function myRefresh(grd)
{
   if(somecondition)
   {
       grd.datasource.transport = {
            read: { someArguments }
            }
        }
      
        grd.dataSource.read();
   }
   else
   {
       grd.dataSource.transport = undefined;
       grd.dataSource.data(somedata);
   }
}


Based on a condition I want to change how grid reads data. myRefresh(grd) may run anytime during runtime.

But as datasource is changed from static data to transport I get "t.transport.read is not a function" error which is proabaly because datasource.transport was not initially defined.

Do I have to recreate the grid? Or is there a shorter way?

I solved the issue using two grids and showing/hiding them when required.

But I am still curious about the possibility of the above requirement.

Hello Can,

The transport.read.url option can accept a function, so you can pass a function that will resolve the url based on your external requirements. The same is explained here:
