Kendo Data.Model and datasource

[Gaetano]

Hi there,

I'm currently building a kando application and I'm wondering about the use of data.model and datasources.

I would like to map My json source to a defined js entity model.

My js model is like that:

var Impianto = kendo.data.Model.define({

    id: "IdImpianto", // the identifier of the model

    fields: {

        "IdImpianto": {

            editable: false,

            nullable: false,

            type: "Number"

        },

        "RagioneSociale": {

            type: "string"

        },

        "Alias": {

            type: "string"

        },

        "Indirizzo": {

            type: "string"

        },

        "Servizio": {

            type: "string"

        }

    }

});

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({

    schema: {

        model: Impianto

    }

});

while My json response is something like:

var myDS = [{"Alias":"customer1","IdImpianto":87792,"Indirizzo":"Milano","RagioneSociale":"customer1","Servizio":"MONITORAGGIO"},{"Alias":"customer2","IdImpianto":87793,"Indirizzo":"roma","RagioneSociale":"customer2","Servizio":"PATTUGLIAMENTO"}]

on My jquery ajax success response, I tried to assign json response to My kendo entity model in this way:

var myImpianto = new Impianto();

myImpianto.dataSource = myDS;

By the way the result is that the entity is not filled with any value;

Am I doing something wrong? Is there any way to automatically fill a custom entity with a json source?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Fabio,

 
Basically to add the received data to the DataSource you should use the Data method and there is no need to create model instance - it is created automatically:

jQuery Ajax success:

dataSource.data(myDS)
