DevExtreme jQuery - Query Methods

The initial value.

step:

A function called for each item.

finalize:

A function that is called after the calculation is finished.

Return Value:

Promise<any> (jQuery or native)

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

jQuery

JavaScript

var step = function (total, itemData) {
    // "total" is an accumulator value that should be changed on each iteration
    // "itemData" is the item to which the function is being applied
    return total + itemData;
};

var finalize = function (total) {
    // "total" is the resulting accumulator value
    return total / 1000;
};

DevExpress.data.query([10, 20, 30, 40, 50])
    .aggregate(0, step, finalize)
    .done(function (result) {
        console.log(result); // outputs 0.15
    });

Angular

TypeScript

import Query from "devextreme/data/query";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        let step = (total, itemData) => {
            // "total" is an accumulator value that should be changed on each iteration
            // "itemData" is the item to which the function is being applied
            return total + itemData;
        };

        let finalize = total => {
            // "total" is the resulting accumulator value
            return total / 1000;
        };

        Query([10, 20, 30, 40, 50])
            .aggregate(0, step, finalize)
            .then(result => {
                console.log(result); // outputs 0.15
            });
    };
}

aggregate(step)

Calculates a custom summary for all data items.

Parameters:

step:

A function that is called for each item.

Return Value:

Promise<any> (jQuery or native)

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

This is a shortcut for the aggregate(seed, step, finalize) method. It omits the seed and finalize parameters: instead of the seed value, the accumulator value is initialized with the first item's value; the finalize parameter's omission means that the calculation result is the accumulator value after the last step function's execution.

jQuery

JavaScript

var step = function (total, itemData) {
    // "total" is an accumulator value that should be changed on each iteration
    // "itemData" is the item to which the function is being applied
    return total + itemData;
};

DevExpress.data.query([10, 20, 30, 40, 50])
    .aggregate(step)
    .done(function (result) {
        console.log(result); // outputs 150
    });

Angular

TypeScript

import Query from "devextreme/data/query";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        let step = (total, itemData) => {
            // "total" is an accumulator value that should be changed on each iteration
            // "itemData" is the item to which the function is being applied
            return total + itemData;
        };

        Query([10, 20, 30, 40, 50])
            .aggregate(step)
            .then(result => {
                console.log(result); // outputs 150
            });
    };
}

avg()

Calculates the average of all values. Applies only to numeric arrays.

Return Value:

Promise<Number> (jQuery or native)

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

First, call the select(getter) method to select the object field that provides numeric values if the Query is associated with an array of objects, or use the avg(getter) method instead of avg().

jQuery

JavaScript

var dataObjects = [ ... ];

DevExpress.data.query(dataObjects)
    .select("price")
    .avg()
    .done(function (result) {
        // "result" contains the calculated value 
    });

Angular

TypeScript

import Query from "devextreme/data/query";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        let dataObjects = [ ... ];

        Query(dataObjects)
            .select("price")
            .avg()
            .then(result => {
                // "result" contains the calculated value 
            });
    };
}

avg(getter)

Calculates the average of all values found using a getter.

Parameters:

getter:

A getter; in most cases, the name of the field that provides values for the calculation.

Return Value:

Promise<Number> (jQuery or native)

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

jQuery

JavaScript

var dataObjects = [ ... ];

DevExpress.data.query(dataObjects)
    .avg("price")
    .done(function (result) {
        // "result" contains the calculated value 
    });

Angular

TypeScript

import Query from "devextreme/data/query";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        let dataObjects = [ ... ];

        Query(dataObjects)
            .avg("price")
            .then(result => {
                // "result" contains the calculated value 
            });
    };
}

If the Query is associated with a numeric array, use the avg() method instead.

                console.log(result); // outputs 5
            });
    };
}

Call the thenBy(getter) or thenBy(getter, desc) method after sortBy to sort data items by one more getter.

sum()

Calculates the sum of all values.

Return Value:

Promise<Number> (jQuery or native)

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

First, call the select(getter) method to select the object field that provides numeric values if the Query is associated with an array of objects, or use the sum(getter) method instead of sum().

jQuery

JavaScript

var dataObjects = [ ... ];

DevExpress.data.query(dataObjects)
    .select("price")
    .sum()
    .done(function (result) {
        // "result" contains the calculated value 
    });

Angular

TypeScript

import Query from "devextreme/data/query";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        let dataObjects = [ ... ];

        Query(dataObjects)
            .select("price")
            .sum()
            .then(result => {
                // "result" contains the calculated value 
            });
    };
}

sum(getter)

Calculates the sum of all values found using a getter.

Parameters:

getter:

A getter; in most cases, the name of the field that provides values for the calculation.

Return Value:

Promise<Number> (jQuery or native)

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

jQuery

JavaScript

var dataObjects = [ ... ];

DevExpress.data.query(dataObjects)
    .sum("price")
    .done(function (result) {
        // "result" contains the calculated value 
    });

Angular

TypeScript

import Query from "devextreme/data/query";
// ...
export class AppComponent {
    constructor () {
        let dataObjects = [ ... ];

        Query(dataObjects)
            .sum("price")
            .then(result => {
                // "result" contains the calculated value 
            });
    };
}

If the Query is associated with a numeric array, use the sum() method instead.

thenBy(getter)

Sorts data items by one more getter in ascending order.

Parameters:

getter:

A getter; in most cases, the name of the data field to sort by.

Return Value:

The Query with transformed data.

This method can only follow the sortBy(getter), sortBy(getter, desc), thenBy(getter, desc), or another thenBy(getter) method call.

jQuery

JavaScript

var dataObjects = [
    { name: "Amelia", birthYear: 1991, gender: "female" },
    { name: "Benjamin", birthYear: 1983, gender: "male" },
    { name: "Daniela", birthYear: 1987, gender: "female" },
    { name: "Lee", birthYear: 1981, gender: "male" }
];

var sortedData = DevExpress.data.query(dataObjects)
    .sortBy("gender")
    .thenBy("birthYear")
    .toArray();

console.log(sortedData);
/* outputs
[
    { name: "Daniela", birthYear: 1987, gender: "female" },
    { name: "Amelia", birthYear: 1991, gender: "female" },
    { name: "Lee", birthYear: 1981, gender: "male" },
    { name: "Benjamin", birthYear: 1983, gender: "male" }
] */

Angular

    constructor () {
        let dataObjects = [
            { name: "Amelia", birthYear: 1991, gender: "female" },

            { name: "Daniela", birthYear: 1987, gender: "female" },
            { name: "Lee", birthYear: 1981, gender: "male" }
        ];

        let sortedData = Query(dataObjects)
            .sortBy("gender")
            .thenBy("birthYear")
            .toArray();

        console.log(sortedData);

            { name: "Benjamin", birthYear: 1983, gender: "male" }
        ] */
    };
}

thenBy(getter, desc)

Sorts data items by one more getter in the specified sorting order.

Parameters:

getter:

A getter; in most cases, the name of the data field to sort by.

desc:

Boolean

Pass true to sort in descending order, false or nothing to sort in ascending order.

Return Value:
