Getting started with JavaScript DataManager control

31 Mar 2023 / 5 minutes to read

Dependencies

Below is the list of minimum dependencies required to use the DataManager.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- es6-promise (Required when window.Promise is not available)

@syncfusion/ej2-data requires the presence of a Promise feature in global environment. In the browser, window.Promise must be available.

Installation and configuration

Clone the Essential JS 2 quickstart application project from GitHub and install necessary npm packages using following command line scripts.

git clone https://github.com/syncfusion/ej2-quickstart.git quickstart
cd quickstart
npm install

Syncfusion packages need to be mapped in system.config.js configuration file.

System.config({
paths: {
    'syncfusion:': './node_modules/@syncfusion/',
},
map: {
    app: 'app',

    //Syncfusion packages mapping
    "@syncfusion/ej2-base": "syncfusion:ej2-base/dist/ej2-base.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-data": "syncfusion:ej2-data/dist/ej2-data.umd.min.js"
},
packages: {
    'app': { main: 'app', defaultExtension: 'js' }
}
});

System.import('app');

Connection to a data source

The DataManager can act as gateway for both local and remote data source which will uses the query to interact with the data source.

Binding to JSON data

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.

Binding to OData

DataManager can be bound to remote data source by assigning service end point URL to the url property. Now all DataManager operations will address the provided service end point.

Component binding

DataManager component can be used with Syncfusion components which supports data binding.

Local data binding

A DataSource can be created in-line with other Syncfusion component configuration settings.

Remote data binding

To bind remote data to Syncfusion component, you can assign a service data as an instance of DataManager to the dataSource property.
