Remove unnecessary request

[Peter]

Hi, 

I'm trying to make scheduler in which you could remove group like in example(https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/scheduler) also remove that group name from calendar view, i'm doing it by filtering the datasource of resource.

But then i need to use scheduler.view(scheduler.viewName()) to repaint calendar and it makes post to get information to server. I would like to remove this unnecessary request, because i'm getting data via filter button and on scheduler navigate.

Is there any way to remove unnecessary request.

I'm attaching the modified view file from example package.

Hi Peter,

To avoid the additional server call, I would suggest you to prevent the read in the requestStart event handler of the DataSource:

.DataSource(d => d
    .Events(e => e.RequestStart("onRequestStart"))
    .ServerOperation(true)
    .Model(m => {
m.Id(f => f.TaskID);
.............

and:

function onRequestStart(e) {
  if (preventRead) {
    preventRead = false;
    e.preventDefault();
  }
}

where the reventRead is a globally available flag set to true in the checkbox change handler:

var preventRead = false;

$("#people :checkbox").change(function(e) {

    var scheduler = $("#scheduler").data("kendoScheduler");

 

    var filter = {

        operator: item => $.inArray(

            item.Value,

            $("#people :checked").map((index, person) => parseInt($(person).val()))

        ) >= 0

    }

 

    preventRead = true;

 

    scheduler.resources[0].dataSource.filter(filter);

    scheduler.view(scheduler.viewName());

});

Thanks Veselin for reply.

As we implemented this functionality the calendar looses all his displayed data.
