I use that script to fill datatables:
function fillTable(tableid, data, columns) {
return $(tableid).DataTable({
data:data,
"columns": columns
});
}
Where data are aray of objects and that works great.
Then I try to change the data in datatable with new datas:
function tableRefresh(dataTable, datas) {
dataTable.data = datas;
}
Problem is: my tables does not display / refresh the data.
I tried with
dataTable.draw()
Any idea of how to refersh the content of the datatable so it display the current data ?

I am writing a kendo UI autocomplete widget. The requirement is EACH TIME when I type a letter after "minLength", the dataSource need to be dynamically loaded from dB EVERYTIME. One problem is that, when the dataSource load successfully in the first time, it stops loading data.
The code snippet is:
var data;
function getDataFromDb(){
// some code to grab dummyData from dB ...
return dummyData;
}
$("#someInputText").kendoAutoComplete({
minLength: 2,
dataTextField: "someField",
dataSource: getDataFromDb(),
filter: "startswith"
});
Thanks a lot.
More details on the post. In my situation, I don't use the readOption. The data comes from another ajax call like:
var data [];
//fire this ajax call when input string length comes to 4...
$.ajax({url: "some working url", success: function(result){
var data = result;
startKendoAutoComplete();
}
});
function startKendoAutoComplete(){
if( !$.isEmptyObject(data)) // set a breakPoint, have data
{
$("#inputText").kendoAutoComplete({
minLength: 4,
dataSource : data,
...
});
}
}
Also, the ajax call will be fired when the input string length comes to 4. However, the KendoAutoComplete doesn't start working....
Thanks a lot for your sugesstion.
If you init your dataSource with an array of object, your widget will work with this array only.
The first thing you'll have to create an dataSource object and set the serverFiltering property to true. Then, if you don't specify an url where the data will be fetched, you set you own transport.read function and from there you'll be able to implement your own logic. The read function will receive the readOption which will include all the relevant information to query tour data (top / skip / filter / sort ...). The readOptions will also provide a success function that should be used to return the value:
dataSource: {
serverFiltering: true,
transport: {
read: function (readOptions) {
readOptions.success(getDataFromDb(readOptions));
}
}
},
I want to format thousands and millions numbers in all the columns from a table rendered using datatables, however I don't want to change the data on the original table since that data is going to be used for a dynamic chart.
How can I modify just the render of the table and apply that to all the columns?
If someone stumbles with this same need, it is possible to use the columnDefs options initially passed to the dataTable constructor to modify the render side of the datatable without affecting the .data() values.
$('#example').DataTable({
columnDefs: [{
targets: "_all",
render: function ( data, type, full, meta ) {
if(type === 'display' && !isNaN(data*1)){
return (data*1).toLocaleString();
}else{
return data;
}
}
}]
});
Here is a jsfiddle that illustrates the approach.

how to select data of single column from a grid data.
The grid data is passed as following:
var url = "/Main/Grid?tbname="+parameter;
var jsonp = new $.ig.JSONPDataSource({
dataSource: url, paging: {
enabled: true, pageSize: 10,
type: "remote"
}
});
$("#listingGrid").igGrid("dataSourceObject", jsonp).igGrid("dataBind");
I have to retrieve data in another page from this grid and select one column from this data.
and i have retrieved data like this
var ds = window.parent.$("#listingGrid").igGrid("option", "dataSource");
but not able to access one column data.
I'm assuming that since you are using the DataSource directly that you don't want the actual columns in the grid, which might differ from the columns in the data source depending on how you have the grid set up.
The easiest way to go about this would probably be to call the data function off of the data source once you retrieve it from your other page. This function returns an array of objects that are the items in each row. Once you have that you can iterate over each of the items and query the individual property.
var ds = window.parent.$('#listingGrid').igGrid('option', 'dataSource');
$.each(ds.data(), function (i, item) {
var itemProperty = item.Property;
// ...
});
You'll need to make sure that the data is all loaded from the service first though or data will possibly return an empty array.
Is there a simpler list type than DataGrid that can be connected to a store for Dojo?
I would like the data abstraction of the store, but I don't need the header and cell stucture. I would like to be more flexible in the representation of the datalines, where maybe each line calls an function to get laid out...
You ask a really good question. I actually have a blog post that is still in draft form called "The DataGrid should not be your first option".
I have done a couple thing using the store to display data from a store in a repeated form.
I have manually built an html table using dom-construct and for each.
var table = dojo.create('table', {}, parentNode);
var tbody = dojo.create('tbody', {}, table); // a version of IE needs this or it won't render the table
store.fetch({ // this is a dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore, but you cana dapt to the dojo.Store API
query: {},
onComplete: function(itms) {
dojo.forEach(itms, function(itm, idx) {
var tr = dojo.create('tr', {}, tbody);
// use idx to set odd/even css class
// create tds and the data that goes in them
});
}
});
I have also created a repeater, where I have an html template in a string form and use that to instantiate html for each row.
var htmlTemplate = '<div>${name}</div>'; // assumes name is in the data item
store.fetch({ // this is a dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore, but you cana dapt to the dojo.Store API
query: {},
onComplete: function(itms) {
dojo.forEach(itms, function(itm, idx) {
var expandedHtml = dojo.replace(htmlTemplate, itm);
// use dojo.place to put the html where you want it
});
}
});
You could also have a widget that you instantiate for each item.
I create dojox.grid.datagrid and I fill content from array like on example last example on page. During time, I change value of that array in code. How to refresh content of that grid ? How to load new data from changed array ?
To change values in the grid, you will need to change the value in the grid's store. The grid data is bound to the store data, and the grid will update itself as needed.
So the key is to understand Dojo's data api and how stores work in Dojo. Rather than manipulating the data directly in the grid, manipulate it in the store.
Ideally, the store is your array that you manipulate as the application runs and you should not be needing to sync the array to the grid. Just use the ItemFileWriteStore as your data holder unless thats not possible.
Also, using the dojo data identity api makes it much simple to find items in the grid if that is possible. Assuming you know when an item is updated, deleted, or changed in your application you should be able to modify the grid store as needed when the action happens. This is definitely the preferred approach. If you can't do that you will have to do a general fetch and use the onComplete callback to manually sync your arrays which will be very slow and won't scale well, in which case you may as well just create a new store all together and assign it to the grid with grid.setStore(myNewStore)
Here is a fiddle with a basic create, update, and delete operation: http://jsfiddle.net/BC7yT/11/
These examples all take advantage of declaring an identity when creating the store.
var store = new dojo.data.ItemFileWriteStore({
data: {
identifier : 'planet',
items: itemList
}
});
UPDATE AN EXISITNG ITEM:
//If the store is not in your scope you can get it from the grid
var store = grid.store;
//fetchItemByIdentity would be faster here, but this uses query just to show
//it is also possible
store.fetch({query : {planet : 'Zoron'},
onItem : function (item ) {
var humans = store.getValue(item, 'humanPop');
humans += 200;
store.setValue(item, 'humanPop', humans);
}
});
INSERT A NEW ITEM:
store.newItem({planet: 'Endron', humanPop : 40000, alienPop : 9000});
} catch (e) {
//An item with the same identity already exists
}
DELETE AN ITEM:
store.fetchItemByIdentity({ 'identity' : 'Gaxula', onItem : function (item ) {
if(item == null) {
//Item does not exist
} else {
store.deleteItem(item);
}
}});
The following code snippet can be used to update the grid:
var newStore = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({data: {... some new data ...});
var grid = dijit.byId("gridId");
grid.setStore(newStore);
EDIT:
Dogo data grid reference guide (add/remove rows example, updating grid data examples )
(I suppose you already have a working grid and you want to completely change the grid's store)
Create a new datastore with your new value :
dataStore = new ObjectStore({ objectStore:new Memory({ data: data.items }) });
(data is the reponse from an ajax request for me)
Change your grid's store with the new one :
grid.store = dataStore;
Render :
grid.render();
This Will update Grid Store and refresh the View of the Grid in latest Version of Dojo 1.9
grid.store = store;
grid._refresh();
I had a server-side filtered EnhancedGrid, which was refreshing happily by changing the store, and shown in the other answers.
However I had another EnhancedGrid that would not refresh when a filter was applied. It may have been to do with the fact it was filtered client side (but data still coming from server using JsonRest store), but I don't really know the cause. Eitherway, the solution was to refresh with the following code:
grid.setFilter(grid.getFilter());
It's hacky and strange, but if it all else fails...
with this i can update a specifi row. this example is for a treegrid.
var idx = this.treeGrid.getItemIndex(item);
if(typeof idx == "string"){
this.treeGrid.updateRow(idx.split('/')[0]);
}else if(idx > -1){
this.treeGrid.updateRow(idx);
}
