[Solved] Parsing server data with custom Transport Read

[Simon]

I did implement my own logic to get data from a server with a custom dataSource.Transport.Read function.

When receive the data from the server, every items are strings.  I would like a generic solution to parse those items according to the grid schema / column definition.

For example, I would like a date received as the following string "2014-12-09T14:32:54" to be parsed as a javascript data object.

I know such behavior is probably implemented somewhere in the grid as native dataSource.Transport.Read call to OData / AJAX services will parse the data returned by those services.

How can I implement the same logic for a custom dataSource.Transport.Read function?

Best regards,

Simon

Hello Simon,

You can define and implement your own schema.parse function and perform the parsing operation inside it.
