    The Infragistics Data Source client-side component is implemented as a class, and has support for paging, sorting, and filtering
    it supports binding to various types of data sources including JSON, XML, HTML Table, WCF/REST services, JSONP, JSONP and OData combined, etc.

    Code Sample

     
             var tableSchema = new $.ig.DataSchema("htmlTableDom",
                { fields:
                    [
                        { name: "FirstName" },
                        { name: "LastName" },
                        { name: "Email" }
                    ]
                });
    
                var data = $("#tableData")[0];
    
                var ds = new $.ig.HtmlTableDataSource({
                    dataSource: data,
                    schema: tableSchema
                });
    
                ds.dataBind();
    
    			      var template = "<tr><td>${Email}</td><td>${FirstName}</td><td>${LastName}</td></tr>",
    			      resultHtml = $.ig.tmpl(template, ds.dataView());
    			      $("#t1").html(resultHtml);
                
    • aggregateTransactions

      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
      Note: This option takes effect only when autoCommit is set to false.

      Code Sample

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

    • autoCommit

      Type:
      bool
      Default:
      false

      Code Sample

       
                var ds = new $.ig.HtmlTableDataSource({
      	                autoCommit: true
                      });
    • callback

      					if (success) {
      						alert("success");
      					} else {
      						alert(error);
      					}
      				}
      		
      				$(function () {			 
      					ds = new $.ig.HtmlTableDataSource({

        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.

        Code Sample

         
                    var ds = new $.ig.HtmlTableDataSource({
                        dataSource: data,
                        schema: tableSchema,
        		        filtering: {
        			        type: "local",
                        }
                    });
                    ds.dataBind();              
    • id

      Type:
      string
      Default:
      "ds"

      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.

      Code Sample

       
                  var ds = new $.ig.HtmlTableDataSource({
                      id: "myId"
                  });          
    • localSchemaTransform

      Type:
      bool
      Default:
      true

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

      Code Sample

       
                var ds = new $.ig.HtmlTableDataSource({
                      dataSource: data, 
      			    localSchemaTransform: false, 
                      responseDataKey: "d",
      			    schema: {fields: [
                          { name : "Price" }, 
                          { name : "Name" }, 
                          { name: "Rating" }
                      ]}
                  });
      			
      			ds.dataBind(); 
    • outputResultsName

      Type:
      string
      Default:
      null

      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.

      Code Sample

                    var render = function (success, error) {
      		                if (success) {
                                var template = "<tr><td>${Name}</td><td>${Price}</td><td>${Rating}</td></tr>",
                                resultHtml = $.ig.tmpl(template, ds.dataView());
                                $("#table").html(resultHtml);
      		                } else {
      			                alert(error);
      		                }
      	                }
                                              
                      var ds = new $.ig.HtmlTableDataSource({
      		                callback: render,
      		                dataSource: url,
      		                schema: {
      			                fields: [{
      				                name: "Name"
      			                }, {
      				                name: "Price"
      			                }, {
      				                name: "Rating"
      			                }]
      		                },
      		                outputResultsName: "myOutputResultsName"
      	                });

      Type:
      bool
      Default:
      true

      If true, will serialize the transaction log of updated values - if any - whenever commit is performed via a remote request.

      Code Sample

       
                          var ds = $.ig.HtmlTableDataSource({
                              serializeTransactionLog: false
                           });

  • dataBind
    Inherited

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

    Data binds to the current data source 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.
