This section describes options that configure the CustomStore.

byKey

Specifies a custom implementation of the byKey(key) method.

Type:

Function

Function parameters:
key:

Object

|

String

|

Number

A 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
var store = new DevExpress.data.CustomStore({
    // ...
    byKey: function (key) {
        var d = new $.Deferred();
        $.get("http://mydomain.com/MyDataService?id=" + key)
            .done(function (dataItem) {
                d.resolve(dataItem);
            });
        return d.promise();
    }
});
Angular
TypeScript
import { ..., Inject } from '@angular/core';
import CustomStore from "devextreme/data/custom_store";
import { Http, HttpModule } from '@angular/http';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/toPromise';
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    store: CustomStore;
    constructor(@Inject(Http) http: Http) {
        this.store = new CustomStore({
            // ...
            byKey: (key) => {
                return http.get("http://mydomain.com/MyDataService?id=" + key)
                    .toPromise()
                    .then(response => {
                        return {
                            data: response.json().data
                        };
                    });
            }
        });
    }
}
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        // ...
        HttpModule 
    ],
    // ...
})

cacheRawData

Specifies whether raw data should be saved in the cache. Applies only if loadMode is "raw".

Type:

Boolean

Default Value: true

Data caching allows the CustomStore to decrease the number of data requests. On the downside, cached data and data in your source may become out of sync. If keeping them synchronized is crucial in your scenario, disable data caching by setting the cacheRawData option to false. In this case, the CustomStore will send a request for data on every call of the load, byKey and totalCount functions.

errorHandler

Specifies the function that is executed when the store throws an error.

Type:

Function

This function accepts a JavaScript Error object as the parameter.

jQuery

var store = new DevExpress.data.CustomStore({
    // ...
    errorHandler: function (error) {
        console.log(error.message);
    }
});

            // ...
            errorHandler: function (error) {
                console.log(error.message);
            }
        })
    }
}

|

Array<String>

In the following example, the ProductID and ProductCode properties are specified as key properties:

    // ...
    key: ["ProductID", "ProductCode"]
});
Angular
TypeScript
import CustomStore from "devextreme/data/custom_store";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    store: CustomStore;
    constructor() {
        this.store = new CustomStore({
            // ...

        })

}

load

Specifies a custom implementation of the load(options) method.

Type:

Function

Function parameters:
options:

LoadOptions

Data processing settings.

Return Value:

Promise<any> (jQuery or native)

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

This function's implementation has certain specifics depending on the widget in which you use the CustomStore. Refer to the Custom Sources topic of a specific widget for details:

See Also

loadMode

Specifies how data returned by the load function is treated.

Type:

String

Default Value: 'processed'
Accepted Values: 'processed' | 'raw'

Specify this option depending on the behavior you implemented for the load function. If this function sends data shaping options to the server and fetches processed data, then loadMode should be "processed". If the load function simply fetches raw, unprocessed data from the server, set loadMode to "raw". In this case, the raw data will be processed on the client automatically.
