MVVM kendoDataSource Transport Add method call

[Anil]

The add method in this sample updates the local data source. Is there anyway this sample can work with a remote data source (configured using transport property). It only adds to my local collection.

Hello Anil,

In this sample the DataSource is configured for using hard-coded list of items, which is why the add method modifies only the local data array.

// A hard coded list of items to render
var tasks = [
  { id: 1, done: false, description: "do stuff"},
  { id: 2, done: false, description: "more stuff"},
  { id: 3, done: true, description: "this stuff to do"},
  { id: 4, done: false, description: "that stuff we need"}
];

// Build the data source for the items
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({ data: tasks });

If you want use remote data, you should bind the DataSource to remote data via Ajax transport.

• http://docs.kendoui.com/api/framework/datasource#configuration-transport.create
  
  

This demo demonstrates CRUD operations with remote transport. Pressing the "Add new record" will basically add new empty item in the DataSource.
