Using Nested Model Properties

[Michael]

Hi guys,

is this nested properties approach with using the"from" property in schema -> model -> fields fully supported or just some kind of workaround respectively a deprecated approach? Because we can't find any detailed documentation about this feature.

Are there any limitations with any of the crud operations? Will kendo send a nested object during the update process?

Thanks in advance!

Hello Michael,

In general, when working with nested properties we can recommend using the schema.parse property of the DataSource to parse the nested fields. Then when CRUD operations are used, the transport.parameterMap property can be used to modify the request sent to the server if needed:

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource#configuration-schema.parse

http://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/data/datasource#configuration-transport.parameterMap

Let me know if you need additional information on this matter.

Regards,
Stefan
