Ignite UI™ API Documentation

ig.HtmlTableDataSource

The HtmlTableDataSource extends the DataSource class and sets the type option to 'htmlTableDom' by default. For more details on the HtmlTableDataSource component’s API, refer to the DataSource component’s API documentation. Further information regarding the classes, options, events, methods and themes of this API are available under the associated tabs above.

The following code snippet demonstrates how to initialize the HtmlTableDataSource control.

aggregateTransactions
Inherited

Type:

bool

Default:

false

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

Code Sample

var ds = new $.ig.HtmlTableDataSource({
aggregateTransactions: true,

});
autoCommit

Type:

bool

Default:

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().

dataBind
Inherited

.dataBind( [callback:string], [callee:object] );

Data binds to the current data source
databinding works using the following workflow:
1. fire the databinding event
2. based on the data source type (see analyzeDataSource()), do the following:
3. if type is HtmlTable, parse the table and set the data and dataView respectively.
if the type is Function, call it, apply Paging/Filtering/Sorting, and set this._dataView . If the developer wants to do his own paging, filtering or sorting
in that case, then he should handle the PageIndexChanging and/or DataFiltering, and/or ColumnSorting client-side events, and cancel them.
if no paging/sorting/filtering are enabled, use just this._data to save space
if the data source is of type RemoteUrl, use jQuery's $.ajax API to trigger a remote request to the service. Use the param() API to encode the URL
if the data source is invalid, throw an exception
if the analyzed runtime data source type , that is, the result of analyzeDataSource(), is Unknown, check if
the value of settings.type is set to XML or JSON. If string, eval for JSON, and parse for the XML to build the object tree
4. now normalize/transform the data, if a schema is supplied. This inplies any additional data type conversion
5. next, if OpType is Local, apply paging, sorting, and/or filtering to the data, and store the result in this._dataView
6. fire the databound event.

filter
Inherited

.filter( fieldExpressions:object, boolLogic:object, keepFilterState:bool, fieldExpressionsOnStrings:object );

example: [{fieldName : "firstName", expr: "abc", cond: "StartsWith"}, {fieldName : "lastName"}]
example 2: [{fieldIndex : 1} , {fieldIndex : 2, expr: "a", cond : "contains"}]
example 3: [{filterAllFields: true, expr: "abc", fields: [name: "Description", type: "string"]}]
expr is the filter expression text , such as "abc", or a regular expression such as *test*
cond is the filtering condition such as startsWith, endsWith, contains, equals, doesNotEqual, doesNotContain
if expr is detected to be a regular expression, the "cond" part is skipped
To filter by text "fieldExpressions" should have only one object with the following schema:
{filterAllFields: <type="bool" should be set to true>, expr: <type="string" the text to search for>, fields: <type="array" an array of fields to search in>}.
