Data binding in EJ2 TypeScript Data control
2 Dec 20237 minutes to read
DataManager supports both RESTful JSON data services binding and local JavaScript object array binding.
Local data binding
DataManager can be bound to local data source by assigning the array of JavaScript objects to the json property or simply passing them
to the constructor while instantiating. Now the JavaScript object array can be queried and manipulated.
import { DataManager, Query } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
import { compile } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import {data} from './datasource.ts';
let template: string = '<tr><td>${OrderID}</td><td>${CustomerID}</td><td>${EmployeeID}</td></tr>';
let compiledFunction: Function = compile(template);
let result: Object[] = new DataManager(data).executeLocal(new Query().take(8));
let table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));
result.forEach((data: Object) => {
table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
});<!DOCTYPE html>

</html>Remote data binding
DataManager can be bound to remote data source by assigning service end point URL to the url property. With the provided url, the DataManager handles all communication with the data server with help of queries.
When querying data, the DataManager will convert the query object(Query) into server request after calling executeQuery and waits for the server response(JSON format).
import { DataManager, Query, ReturnOption } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
import { compile } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
let template: string = '<tr><td>${OrderID}</td><td>${CustomerID}</td><td>${EmployeeID}</td></tr>';
let compiledFunction: Function = compile(template);
const SERVICE_URI: string = 'https://services.syncfusion.com/js/production/api/orders';
let table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));
new DataManager({ url: SERVICE_URI }).executeQuery(new Query().take(8)).then((e: ReturnOption) => {
(<Object[]>e.result).forEach((data: Object) => {
table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
});
