Dataconnector bind filter syntax

Suite and Optimus Suite 5
#1

I have loaded the datastore via SmartRender using Grid. I am going to use the same datastore for dataview. When I do a filter in dataview, I got the items displayed only on the screen and not fully from server. So, is it possible to use the filter option in datastore itself using
data.bind(my_ds, function(data,filter)); if yes, how to use it?. I can’t make it work and there is no examples too.

#2

You can use filter on dataview or datastore level, to filter the already loaded data.
If you need to apply the server side filtering you can use something like

datastore.clearAll();
datastore.load(“some.php?connector=true&dhx_filter[1]=mask&dhx_filter[3]=another”)

in above lines, filtering rules is passed through the url to the server side connector, which will respond with the filtered dataset

#3

But this will clear the master Datastore right?. I don’t want to reload/rewrite the master datastore, instead, I want to show the rows by filtering in dataview.

#4

In above sample, does datastore contains all data from the server side?

In such case you can call datastore.filter which will filter datastore and reflect in dataview the filtered state.

#5

Any example how to use the filter for datastore?

#6

Api is nearly the same as in dataview

store.filter("#fieldname#", value);

#7

Filtering datastore doesn’t load all data from grid if configured with SmartRendering. Is there is any way to achieve it?

#8

If you are using dynamical loading - the only way to filter data is the server side filtering.
If you are using statical loading, any updates in datastore must fully refresh the grid.
