Typescript: beforeSend missing in kendo.all.d.ts

[Enrico]

Hi,

after upgrading to typescript 1.6 I've got a compilation error in a piece of code that actually does work. I checked the definition file and I could not find any beforeSend at all! I'm using Kendo UI v2014.3.1411.

var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
                        transport: {
                            read: {
                                url: 'myApiUrl',
                                beforeSend: function (xhr) {
                                    xhr.setRequestHeader('myAuthenticationHeader', 'myToken');
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    });

Hi,

Please, install up-to-date definitions. An easy way to obtain them is by installing the ​kendo-ui.TypeScript.DefinitelyTyped NuGet package.

The code will compile, but you won't get full IntelliSense for the members accepted by $.ajax, just the "native" ones provided by Kendo UI.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

Okay, I think I found the reason for this change in 1.6 release notes - Stricter object literal assignment checks.
What we need to do is to inherit from the JQueryAjaxSettings interface:
interface DataSourceTransportDestroy extends JQueryAjaxSettings {
    ...
}

We'll try to apply this fix as soon as possible. I've updated our Telerik points as a token of gratitude for your involvement.

Hi,

I've applied the suggested "extends JQueryAjaxSettings" to DataSourceTransportCreate, DataSourceTransportDestroy, DataSourceTransportRead, DataSourceTransportUpdate interfaces and now it compiles.

 

Thanks for the points and also for providing a valid solution :)

BR,

Enrico
