If set to true, the following behavior will take place:
if a new row is added, and then deleted, there will be no transaction added to the log
if an edit is made to a row or cell, then the value is brought back to its original value, the transaction should be removed
Note: This option takes effect only when autoCommit is set to false.

If auto commit is true, data will be automatically commited to the data source, once a value or a batch of values are updated via saveChanges().

Callback function to call when data binding is complete.

Object on which to invoke the callback function.

This is the normalized (transformed) resulting data, after it's fetched from the data source.

Client-side dataBinding event. Can be a string pointing to a function name, or an object pointing to a function.

Client-side dataBound event. Can be a string pointing to a function name, or an object pointing to a function.

This is the source of data - non normalized. Can be an array, can be reference to some JSON object, can be a DOM element for a HTML TABLE, or a function.

*** IMPORTANT DEPRECATED ***
A list of field definitions specifying the schema of the data source.
Field objects description: {name, [type], [xpath]}.

Settings related to built-in filtering functionality.

• applyToAllData

  Type:

  bool

  Default:

  true

  If the type of paging/sorting/filtering is local and applyToAllData is true, filtering will be performed on the whole data source that's present locally, otherwise only on the current dataView. if type is remote, this setting doesn't have any effect.

• caseSensitive

  Type:

  bool

  Default:

  false

  Enables or disables case sensitive filtering on the data. Works only for local filtering.

• customConditions

  Type:

  object

  Default:

  null

  An object containing custom defined filtering conditions as objects.

• customFunc

  Type:

  object

  Default:

  null

  Can point to either a string or a function object. The parameters that are passed are 1) the data array to be filtered, 2) the filtering expression definitions. Should return an array of the filtered data.

• defaultFields

  Type:

  array

  Default:

  []

  Elements Type:

  object

  Data will be initially filtered accordingly, directly after dataBind().

• expressions

  Type:

  array

  Default:

  []

  Elements Type:

  object

  A list of expression objects, containing the following key-value pairs: fieldName, expression (search string), condition , and logic (AND/OR).

• exprString

  Type:

  string

  Default:

  ""

  An "SQL-like' encoded expressions string. Takes precedence over "expressions". Example: col2 > 100; col2 LIKE %test%.

• filterExprUrlKey

  Type:

  string

  Default:

  null

  Url key that will be encoded in the request if remote filtering is performed. Default value of null implies OData-style URL encoding. Please see http://www.odata.org/developers/protocols/uri-conventions for details.

• filterLogicUrlKey

  Type:

  string

  Default:

  "filterLogic"

  Url key that will be encoded in the request, specifying if the filtering logic will be AND or OR.

• type

  Type:

  enumeration

  Default:

  remote

  Filtering type.

  Members

  • remote
  • Type:string
  • Parameters will be encoded and it's up to the backend to interpred them from the response.
  • local
  • Type:string
  • The data will be filtered automatically client-side.

Setting this is only necessary when the data source is set to a table in string format. we need to create an invisible dummy data container in the body and append the table data to it.

If set to false will disable transformations on schema, even if it is defined locally in the javascript code.

This is the property in the dataView where actual resulting records will be put. (So the dataView will not be array but an object if this is defined), after the potential data source transformation.

Settings related to built-in paging functionality.

• appendPage

  Type:

  bool

  Default:

  false

  Whether when a new page of data is requested we should append the new data to the existing data.

  bool

  Default:

  false

  Paging is not enabled by default.

• pageIndex

  Type:

  number

  Default:

  0

  Current page index.

• pageIndexUrlKey

  Type:

  string

  Default:

  null

  Denotes the name of the encoded URL parameter that will state what is the currently requested page index.

• pageSize

  Type:

  number

  Default:

  5

  Number of records on each page.

• pageSizeUrlKey

  Type:

  string

  Default:

  null
