Mapping webapi response object to Filemanager's schema

[Techlancer]

Hi

I am using FileManager Jquery component that get the list of the files from an external rest api (json format) but the response object does not follow the default kendo.data.schemas.filemanager.

for example, rest api give file name field as "fileName" instead of "name".

Please let me know if there is a standard way to do this mapping.

 

Thanks

Hello,

You can define your own Schema model so that you can set up the field for the name. Like in this example: 

    $("#filemanager").kendoFileManager({               
        dataSource: {
          schema: {
          	model: {
                id: "path",
                hasChildren: "hasDirectories",
                fields: {
                    name: {editable: true, type: "String", defaultValue: "New Folder", from: "fileName" },
                    size: {editable: false, type: "Number"},
                    path: {editable: false, type: "String"},
                    extension: {editable: false, type: "String"},
                    isDirectory: {editable: false, defaultValue: true, type: "Boolean"},
                    hasDirectories: {editable: false, defaultValue: false, type: "Boolean"},
                    created: { from: "created", type: "Date", editable: false},
                    createdUtc: { from: "createdUtc", type: "Date", editable: false },
                    modified: { from: "modified", type: "Date", editable: false},
                    modifiedUtc: { from: "modifiedUtc", type: "Date", editable: false }
                }
            }
          }
          ...
        }
      ...
    }); 

 

Another way is to use the schema.parse option to preprocess the data fetched.
