I have a method which takes some data from the datasource and via a RESTful webservice, changes it. I then need to update the datasource items.

I am using AngularJS so I have tried updating the $scope variable which is used inside the read method of my datasource ie (in the below example I changed $scope.myLocalResults

read: function (options) {
    options.success($scope.myLocalResults);
}

And then called datasource.read() - however this turned out to be quite slow.

I have then tried just updating the changed records - ie my webservice returns an array of records (order guaranteed so I find the originally index of the record from $scope.myLocalResults, and then do:

var dataItem = dataSource.at(index);
dataSource.remove(dataItem);
dataSource.insert(index, myNewRecord);

 

However this is also quite slow - around 1 second per record, and I have around 2000 records.

Is there a quicker way to achieve what I want to do? I cannot simply using the .set method of the dataItem, as we have around 200 columns which could change.

Also - does .remove and .insert on the dataItem cause any datasource method to be fired, ie read or sync or something like that? I'm trying to work out why this is so slow, in comparison to other operations I am doing to the JS objects.

Thanks

Hello Marc,

In case you have configured the DataSource with remote endpoints, the read(), remove() and insert() methods would always call the remote endpoints, unless you configure the DataSource to perform batch modifications. This means, that you need to set the batch configuration filed of the DataSource to true. This way, the modifications would be sent with a single call to the server, after calling the sync() method of the data source.

If the above suggestion does not improve the performance of the Kendo DataSource, or if you have already configured your DS to be in batch edit mode, we will need a runnable sample to reproduce and troubleshoot this issue. Therefore, I would like to ask you to prepare and send us a Dojo sample, or an isolated sample project, where we could locally observe the reported.
