Manual filter --> Property '_parse' of object [object Object] is not a function

[Darren]

I'm trying to create a feature which will auto-filter a grid using an input field in the toolbar.  The source can be found at http://jsbin.com/odudud/8.  

I have 2 questions:

1. Each time I apply my manually-created filter, I get "Property '_parse' of object [object Object] is not a function 
   ".  Can you explain what I might be doing wrong to get this?
2. Is there a way to filter a Number field so that I can search its contents (i.e., using 'contains' with a Number field)?

Thanks!

Hello Darren,

Type names in JavaScript starts with lower case(try in the console typeof 1), thus you should change the names in model definition. See the following code:

Contains options is only applicable for string type.

Thanks for the prompt response Nikolay.  I based my data types off of the comments within the sample found at http://docs.kendoui.com/api/framework/datasource#schemamodel-objectkendodatamodel.

Although in the same code itself they use the correct lower case version, I was just quickly parsing the comments and found all the supported data types found in this comment:

//data type of the field {Number|String|Boolean|Date} default is String

You may want to update this comment to include the correct letter casing.

Thanks again!

Darren
