kendo.data.Model fields options

[João]

I am totally new to Kendo UI, and I am starting my first lines of code with it. My intention is to build a grid with CRUD operations on remote data (PHP + MySQL backend).

Starting from the start, I want to create a kendo.data.Model for the grid rows... I have not found documentation about it, so I read blog posts, a few forum threads, and also browsed the source code.

From this research, this is what I have found as available options for each one of the fields definition in the model:

• nullable
• editable
• defaultValue
• type
• parse
• format

Did I miss some? I would appreciate if anyone could provide a brief description of each option. Also, I want to share more findings and some code here, if possible.

Thank you!

Hello,

Currently the available model field properties are nullable, editable, defaultValue, type, validation and parse (which could be use to specify a custom function to convert the value from a string to its original data type). More information on the model declaration could be found in this help article.

What are the different data types that are available for use in the fields object?

Do we have a definitive list yet?  The link no longer works, and I've also found "from" and "validation".

This link no longer works. Please can you post an updated link, I'm struggling to find documentation on this.
