DevExtreme jQuery - ODataStore Methods

This section describes the methods that control the ODataStore.

byKey(key, extraOptions)

Gets an entity with a specific key.

Parameters:
key:

Object

|

String

|

Number

An entity's key value.

extraOptions:

Object

Additional properties.

Object structure:
Name Type Description
expand

String

|

Array<String>

The names of the navigation properties to be loaded simultaneously with the entity (see OData - Associations).

select

String

|

Array<String>

One or more fields to select from the entity.

Return Value:

Promise<any> (jQuery or native)

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

In the following code, the byKey method loads the product with ID 1 along with the "Category" navigation property:

jQuery
JavaScript
var store = new DevExpress.data.ODataStore({
    // ...
    key: "Product_ID"
});
store.byKey(1, { expand: "Category" })
    .done(function (dataItem) {
        // Process the "dataItem" here
    })
    .fail(function (error) {
        // Handle the "error" here
    });
Angular
TypeScript
import ODataStore from "devextreme/data/odata/store";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    store: ODataStore;
    constructor() {
        this.store = new ODataStore({
            // ...
            key: "Product_ID"
        });
        this.store.byKey(1, { expand: "Category" }).then(
            (dataItem) => { /* Process the "dataItem" here */ },
            (error) => { /* Handle the "error" here */ }

values:

Object

});

store.insert({ id: 1, name: "John Doe" })

See Also

off(eventName, eventHandler)

Detaches a particular event handler from a single event.

String

The event's name.

eventHandler:

Function

The event's handler.

Return Value:

ODataStore

The object for which this method is called.

See Also

on(eventName, eventHandler)

Subscribes to an event.

eventName:

String

The event's name.

Function

The event's handler.

Subscribes to events.

Parameters:
events:

Object

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

Return Value:

See Also

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).

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

jQuery
JavaScript
var store = new DevExpress.data.ODataStore({
    // ODataStore 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 ODataStore from "devextreme/data/odata_store";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    store: ODataStore;
    constructor() {
        this.store = new ODataStore({
            // ODataStore 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 ODataStore from 'devextreme/data/odata_store';

const store = new ODataStore({
    // ODataStore 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 ODataStore from 'devextreme/data/odata_store';

const store = new ODataStore({
    // ODataStore 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;
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 property to reduce the number of updates and recalculations.
  • The push method does not raise data source modification events (for instance, onInserted, onRemoved, onUpdated). Handle the onPush event to perform actions when data changes are pushed to a store.
  • The push method does not modify the remote data source. It is used to push changes from the data source to the local store without reloading data.

update(key, values)

Updates a data item with a specific key.

Parameters:
key:

Object

|

String

|

Number

A data item's key value.

values:

Object

An object with new values for the data item.

Return Value:

Promise<any> (jQuery or native)

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

In the following code, dataObj is a data object updated in 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 update method.

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

// Updates the data item with "field1" being equal to 1
singleKeyStore.update(1, { name: "John Smith" })
    .done(function (dataObj, key) {
        // Process the key and data object here
    })
    .fail(function (error) {
        // Handle the "error" here
    });

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

// Updates the data item with both "field1" and "field2" being equal to 1
compositeKeyStore.update(
    { field1: 1, field2: 1 },
    { name: "John Smith" }
).done(function (dataObj, key) {
    // Process the key and data object here
})
.fail(function (error) {
    // Handle the "error" here
});
