/** * @class Ext.data.JsonReader * @extends Ext.data.DataReader *

Data reader class to create an Array of {@link Ext.data.Record} objects * from a JSON packet based on mappings in a provided {@link Ext.data.Record} * constructor.

*

Example code:

*

var myReader = new Ext.data.JsonReader({
    // metadata configuration options:
    {@link #idProperty}: 'id'
    {@link #root}: 'rows',
    {@link #totalProperty}: 'results',
    {@link Ext.data.DataReader#messageProperty}: "msg"  // The element within the response that provides a user-feedback message (optional)

    // the fields config option will internally create an {@link Ext.data.Record}
    // constructor that provides mapping for reading the record data objects
    {@link Ext.data.DataReader#fields fields}: [
        // map Record's 'firstname' field to data object's key of same name
        {name: 'name'},
        // map Record's 'job' field to data object's 'occupation' key
        {name: 'job', mapping: 'occupation'}
    ]
});
*

This would consume a JSON data object of the form:


{
    results: 2000, // Reader's configured {@link #totalProperty}
    rows: [        // Reader's configured {@link #root}
        // record data objects:
        { {@link #idProperty id}: 1, firstname: 'Bill', occupation: 'Gardener' },
        { {@link #idProperty id}: 2, firstname: 'Ben' , occupation: 'Horticulturalist' },
        ...
    ]
}
*

Automatic configuration using metaData

*

It is possible to change a JsonReader's metadata at any time by including * a metaData property in the JSON data object. If the JSON data * object has a metaData property, a {@link Ext.data.Store Store} * object using this Reader will reconfigure itself to use the newly provided * field definition and fire its {@link Ext.data.Store#metachange metachange} * event. The metachange event handler may interrogate the metaData * property to perform any configuration required.

*

Note that reconfiguring a Store potentially invalidates objects which may * refer to Fields or Records which no longer exist.

*

To use this facility you would create the JsonReader like this:


var myReader = new Ext.data.JsonReader();
*

The first data packet from the server would configure the reader by * containing a metaData property and the data. For * example, the JSON data object might take the form:


{
    metaData: {
        "{@link #idProperty}": "id",
        "{@link #root}": "rows",
        "{@link #totalProperty}": "results"
        "{@link #successProperty}": "success",
        "{@link Ext.data.DataReader#fields fields}": [
            {"name": "name"},
            {"name": "job", "mapping": "occupation"}
        ],
        // used by store to set its sortInfo
        "sortInfo":{
           "field": "name",
           "direction": "ASC"
        },
        // {@link Ext.PagingToolbar paging data} (if applicable)
        "start": 0,
        "limit": 2,
        // custom property
        "foo": "bar"
    },
    // Reader's configured {@link #successProperty}
    "success": true,
    // Reader's configured {@link #totalProperty}
    "results": 2000,
    // Reader's configured {@link #root}
    // (this data simulates 2 results {@link Ext.PagingToolbar per page})
    "rows": [ // *Note: this must be an Array
        { "id": 1, "name": "Bill", "occupation": "Gardener" },
        { "id": 2, "name":  "Ben", "occupation": "Horticulturalist" }
    ]
}
 *
