Number

A data item's key value.

Return Value:

Promise<any> (jQuery or native)

A Promise that is resolved after the data item is loaded. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.

jQuery

JavaScript

// The key consists of a single data field
var singleKeyStore = new DevExpress.data.CustomStore({
    key: "field1",
    // ...
});

// Gets the data item with "field1" being equal to 1
singleKeyStore.byKey(1)
    .done(function (dataItem) {
        // Process the "dataItem" here
    })
    .fail(function (error) {
        // Handle the "error" here
    });

// The key consists of several data fields
var compositeKeyStore = new DevExpress.data.CustomStore({
    key: [ "field1", "field2" ],
    // ...
});

// Gets the data item with both "field1" and "field2" being equal to 1
compositeKeyStore.byKey({
    field1: 1,
    field2: 1
}).done(function (dataItem) {
    // Process the "dataItem" here
})

insert(values)

Adds a data item to the store.

Parameters:

values:

A data item.

Return Value:

Promise<any> (jQuery or native)

A Promise that is resolved after a data item is added. It is a native Promise or a jQuery.Promise when you use jQuery.

In the following code, dataObj is a data object added to the database and returned from the server. If the server returns nothing or the store works with local data, dataObj contains the data object passed to the insert method.

jQuery

JavaScript

var store = new DevExpress.data.CustomStore({
    // CustomStore is configured here
});

store.insert({ id: 1, name: "John Doe" })
     .done(function (dataObj, key) {
         // Process the key and data object here
     })
     .fail(function (error) {
         // Handle the "error" here
     });

Angular

TypeScript

import CustomStore from "devextreme/data/custom_store";
// ...

    store: CustomStore;
    constructor() {
        this.store = new CustomStore({
            // CustomStore is configured here
        });
        this.store.insert({ id: 1, name: "John Doe" })

            .then(
                (dataObj) => { /* Process the data object here */ },
                (error) => { /* Handle the "error" here */ }

off(eventName)

Detaches all event handlers from a single event.

Parameters:

eventName:

The event's name.

Return Value:

The object for which this method is called.

off(eventName, eventHandler)

Detaches a particular event handler from a single event.

Parameters:

eventName:

The event's name.

eventHandler:

Function

The event's handler.

Return Value:

The object for which this method is called.

on(eventName, eventHandler)

Subscribes to an event.

Parameters:

eventName:

The event's name.

eventHandler:

Function

The event's handler.

Return Value:

The object for which this method is called.

Use this method to subscribe to one of the events listed in the Events section.

on(events)

Subscribes to events.

Parameters:

events:

Events with their handlers: { "eventName1": handler1, "eventName2": handler2, ...}

Return Value:

DataGrid Real-Time Updates Demo DataGrid SignalR Demo Chart SignalR Demo DataGrid Collaborative Editing Demo

The object for which this method is called.

Use this method to subscribe to several events with one method call. Available events are listed in the Events section.

push(changes)

Pushes data changes to the store and notifies the DataSource.

Parameters:

changes:

Array<any>

Data changes to be pushed.

Each data change is an object that can have the following fields:

type: String
Data change type: "insert", "update", or "remove".
data: Object
Changes that should be applied to the store's data.
key: any
The key of the data item being updated or removed.
index: Number
The position at which to display a new data item in a UI component bound to the store. To display the new data item first, set the index to 0. To add it to the end of the current page, set the index to -1.

The index field is optional. If you do not specify it, the new data item is added to the end of the dataset. However, if data is grouped or split into pages, this item does not appear in the UI component until data is reshaped. In this case, specify the index to show the pushed item immediately.

The index field is ignored if reshapeOnPush is enabled (see the note below).

NOTE

The DataSource does not automatically sort, group, filter, or otherwise shape pushed data. For this reason, the DataSource and the UI component bound to it can be out of sync. To prevent this, enable the reshapeOnPush property. We also recommend specifying the pushAggregationTimeout to reduce the number of updates and recalculations.

The following code shows how to use the push(changes) method for each change type:

jQuery

JavaScript

var store = new DevExpress.data.CustomStore({
    // CustomStore is configured here
});

store.push([{ type: "insert", data: dataObj, index: index }]);
store.push([{ type: "update", data: dataObj, key: key }]);
store.push([{ type: "remove", key: key }]);

Angular

TypeScript

import CustomStore from "devextreme/data/custom_store";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    store: CustomStore;
    constructor() {
        this.store = new CustomStore({
            // CustomStore is configured here
        });
        this.store.push([{ type: "insert", data: dataObj, index: index }]);
        this.store.push([{ type: "update", data: dataObj, key: key }]);
        this.store.push([{ type: "remove", key: key }]);
    };
}

Vue

App.vue

<script>
import CustomStore from 'devextreme/data/custom_store';

const store = new CustomStore({
    // CustomStore is configured here
});

export default {
    data() {
        return {
            store
        }
    },
    mounted() {
        store.push([{ type: "insert", data: dataObj, index: index }]);
        store.push([{ type: "update", data: dataObj, key: key }]);
        store.push([{ type: "remove", key: key }]);
    }
}
</script>

React

App.js

// ...
import CustomStore from 'devextreme/data/custom_store';

const store = new CustomStore({
    // CustomStore is configured here
});

class App extends React.Component {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

        store.push([{ type: "insert", data: dataObj, index: index }]);
        store.push([{ type: "update", data: dataObj, key: key }]);
        store.push([{ type: "remove", key: key }]);
    }
    // ...
}
export default App;

IMPORTANT

This method does not modify the remote data source. It is used to push changes from the remote data source to the local store without reloading all data.

remove(key)

Removes a data item with a specific key from the store.

Parameters:

key:

|

|

Number

A data item's key value.
