/** * @class Ext.data.JsonReader * @extends Ext.data.DataReader *Data reader class to create an Array of {@link Ext.data.Record} objects from a JSON response * based on mappings in a provided {@link Ext.data.Record} constructor.
*Example code:
**var Employee = Ext.data.Record.create([ {name: 'firstname'}, // map the Record's "firstname" field to the row object's key of the same name {name: 'job', mapping: 'occupation'} // map the Record's "job" field to the row object's "occupation" key ]); var myReader = new Ext.data.JsonReader( { // The metadata property, with configuration options: totalProperty: "results", // the property which contains the total dataset size (optional) root: "rows", // the property which contains an Array of record data objects idProperty: "id" // the property within each row object that provides an ID for the record (optional) }, Employee // {@link Ext.data.Record} constructor that provides mapping for JSON object );
This would consume a JSON data object of the form:
*{ results: 2, // Reader's configured totalProperty rows: [ // Reader's configured root { id: 1, firstname: 'Bill', occupation: 'Gardener' }, // a row object { id: 2, firstname: 'Ben' , occupation: 'Horticulturalist' } // another row object ] }
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.
*The metaData property in the JSON data object may contain:
***
- any of the configuration options for this class
*- a {@link Ext.data.Record#fields fields} property which the JsonReader will * use as an argument to the {@link Ext.data.Record#create data Record create method} in order to * configure the layout of the Records it will produce.
*- a {@link Ext.data.Store#sortInfo sortInfo} property which the JsonReader will * use to set the {@link Ext.data.Store}'s {@link Ext.data.Store#sortInfo sortInfo} property
*- any user-defined properties needed
*To use this facility to send the same data as the example above (without having to code the creation * of the Record constructor), 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:
* @cfg {String} totalProperty [total] Name of the property from which to retrieve the total number of records * in the dataset. This is only needed if the whole dataset is not passed in one go, but is being * paged from the remote server. Defaults to total. * @cfg {String} successProperty [success] Name of the property from which to * retrieve the success attribute. Defaults to success. See * {@link Ext.data.DataProxy}.{@link Ext.data.DataProxy#exception exception} * for additional information. * @cfg {String} root [undefined] Required. The name of the property * which contains the Array of row objects. Defaults to undefined. * An exception will be thrown if the root property is undefined. The data packet * value for this property should be an empty array to clear the data or show * no data. * @cfg {String} idProperty [id] Name of the property within a row object that contains a record identifier value. Defaults to id * @constructor * Create a new JsonReader * @param {Object} meta Metadata configuration options. * @param {Array/Object} recordType *{ metaData: { idProperty: 'id', root: 'rows', totalProperty: 'results', fields: [ {name: 'name'}, {name: 'job', mapping: 'occupation'} ], sortInfo: {field: 'name', direction:'ASC'}, // used by store to set its sortInfo foo: 'bar' // custom property }, results: 2, rows: [ // an Array { 'id': 1, 'name': 'Bill', occupation: 'Gardener' }, { 'id': 2, 'name': 'Ben', occupation: 'Horticulturalist' } ] }
Either an Array of {@link Ext.data.Field Field} definition objects (which * will be passed to {@link Ext.data.Record#create}, or a {@link Ext.data.Record Record} * constructor created from {@link Ext.data.Record#create}.
