Querying in EJ2 TypeScript Data control

2 Dec 202324 minutes to read

In this section, you will see in detail about how to build query using Query class and consume the data source.

Specifying resource name using from

The from method is used to specify the resource name or table name from where the data should be retrieved.

import { DataManager, Query, ReturnOption, ODataV4Adaptor } 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.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/';

let table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));

new DataManager({ url: SERVICE_URI, adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor })
    .executeQuery(new Query().from('Orders').take(8)).then((e: ReturnOption) => {
        (<Object[]>e.result).forEach((data: Object) => {
            table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
        });
    });

Projection using select

The select method is used to select particular fields or columns from the data source.

import { DataManager, Query, ReturnOption, ODataV4Adaptor } 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.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Orders/';

let table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));

new DataManager({ url: SERVICE_URI, adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor })
    .executeQuery(new Query().select(['OrderID', 'CustomerID', 'EmployeeID']).take(8))
    .then((e: ReturnOption) => {
        (<Object[]>e.result).forEach((data: Object) => {
            table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
        });
    });

Eager loading navigation properties

You can use the expand method to eagerly load navigation properties. The navigation properties values are accessed using appropriate field names separated by dot(.) sign.

import { DataManager, Query, ReturnOption, ODataV4Adaptor } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
import { compile } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

let template: string = '<tr><td>${OrderID}</td><td>${CustomerID}</td><td>${Employee.FirstName}</td></tr>';

let compiledFunction: Function = compile(template);

const SERVICE_URI: string = 'https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Orders/';

let table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));

table.innerHTML = '<tr><th>OrderID</th><th>CustomerID</th><th>Employee Name</th></tr>';

new DataManager({ url: SERVICE_URI, adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor })
    .executeQuery(new Query().expand('Employee').select(['OrderID', 'CustomerID', 'Employee.FirstName']).take(8))
    .then((e: ReturnOption) => {
        (<Object[]>e.result).forEach((data: Object) => {
            table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
        });
    });

Sorting

You can use the sortBy method to perform sort operation in the data source. Default sorting order is ascending. To change the sort order, either you can specify the second argument of sortBy as descending or use the sortByDesc method.

import { DataManager, Query, ReturnOption, ODataV4Adaptor } 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.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Orders/';

let table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));

new DataManager({ url: SERVICE_URI, adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor })
    .executeQuery(new Query().sortBy('CustomerID', 'descending').take(8))
    .then((e: ReturnOption) => {
        (<Object[]>e.result).forEach((data: Object) => {
            table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
        });
    });

            </thead>
            <tbody>
            </tbody>    
        </table>        
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Multi sorting can be performed by simply chaining the multiple sortBy methods.

Filtering

You can use the where method to build filter criteria which allows you to get reduced view of records. The where method can also be chained to form multiple filter criteria.

import { DataManager, Query, ReturnOption, ODataV4Adaptor } 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.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Orders/';

let table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));

new DataManager({ url: SERVICE_URI, adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor })
    .executeQuery(new Query().where('EmployeeID', 'equal', 3).take(8))
    .then((e: ReturnOption) => {
        (<Object[]>e.result).forEach((data: Object) => {
            table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
        });
    });

Filter Operators

Filter operators are generally used to specify the filter type. The various filter operators supported by DataManager is listed below.

  • greaterthan
  • greaterthanorequal
  • lessthan
  • lessthanorequal
  • equal
  • notequal
  • startswith
  • endswith
  • contains

These filter operators are used for creating filter query using where method and Predicate class.

Build complex filter criteria using Predicate

Sometimes chaining where method is not sufficient to create very complex filter criteria, in such cases we can use Predicate class to create composite filter criteria.

import { DataManager, Query, ODataV4Adaptor, Predicate, 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.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Orders/';

let table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));

//Building complex filter criteria using `Predicate`
let predicate: Predicate = new Predicate('EmployeeID', 'equal', 3);
predicate = predicate.or('EmployeeID', 'equal', 2);

new DataManager({ url: SERVICE_URI, adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor })
    .executeQuery(new Query().where(predicate).take(8))
    .then((e: ReturnOption) => {
        (<Object[]>e.result).forEach((data: Object) => {
            table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
        });
    });

Searching

You can use the search method to create search criteria, it differs from the filter in the way that search criteria will applied to all fields in the data source whereas filter criteria will be applied to a particular field.

import { DataManager, Query, ReturnOption } 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 table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));

new DataManager(data)
    .executeQuery(new Query().search('VI', ['CustomerID']))
    .then((e: ReturnOption) => {
        (<Object[]>e.result).forEach((data: Object) => {
            table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
        });
    });

            <thead>
                <tr><th>Order ID</th><th>Customer ID</th><th>Employee ID</th></tr>
            </thead>
            <tbody>
            </tbody>    
        </table>        
    </div>
</body>
</html>

You can search particular fields by passing the field name collection in the second argument of search method.

Grouping

DataManager allow you to group records by category. The group method is used to add group query.

import { DataManager, Query, ReturnOption, ODataV4Adaptor } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
import { compile } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

let template: string = '<tr><td>${field} - ${key}</td><td></td><td></td></tr>${for(item of items)}<tr><td>${item.OrderID}</td><td>${item.CustomerID}</td><td>${item.EmployeeID}</td></tr>${/for}';

let compiledFunction: Function = compile(template);

const SERVICE_URI: string =  'https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Orders/';

let table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));

new DataManager({ url: SERVICE_URI, adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor })
    .executeQuery(new Query().group('CustomerID').take(8))
    .then((e: ReturnOption) => {
        (<Object[]>e.result).forEach((data: Object) => {
            table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
        });
    });

Multiple grouping can be done by simply chaining the group method.

Paging

You can query paged data using page method. This allow you to query particular set of records based on the page size and index.

import { DataManager, Query, ReturnOption, ODataV4Adaptor } 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.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Orders/';

let table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));

new DataManager({ url: SERVICE_URI, adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor })
    .executeQuery(new Query().page(2, 8))
    .then((e: ReturnOption) => {
        (<Object[]>e.result).forEach((data: Object) => {
            table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
        });
    });

Aggregation

The aggregate method allows you to get aggregated value for a field based on the type. The built-in aggregate types are,

  • sum
  • average
  • min
  • max
  • count
  • truecount
  • falsecount
import { DataManager, Query, ReturnOption, ODataV4Adaptor } 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);
let footerFn: Function = compile('<tr><td></td><td></td><td>Minimum: ${min}</td></tr>');

const SERVICE_URI: string =  'https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/Orders/';

let table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));

new DataManager({ url: SERVICE_URI, adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor })
    .executeQuery(new Query().take(5).requiresCount().aggregate('min', 'EmployeeID'))
    .then((e: ReturnOption) => {
        (<Object[]>e.result).forEach((data: Object) => {
            table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
        });
        table.appendChild(footerFn({ min: e.aggregates['EmployeeID - min'] })[0]);
    });

Hierarchical query

You can use the hierarchy method to build nested query. The hierarchical queries are commonly required when you use foreign key binding.

The foreignKey method is used to specify the key field of the foreign table and the second argument of the hierarchy method accepts a selector function which selects the records from the foreign table.

import { DataManager, Query, ReturnOption, ODataV4Adaptor } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
import { compile } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

let template: string = '<tr><td>${OrderID}</td><td>${CustomerID}</td><td>${EmployeeID}</td></tr>'
let group: string = '<tr><td colspan=3>' +
'<table id="datatable" class="e-table"><tr><th>ID</th><th>Price</th><th>Quantity</th></tr>' +
'${for(detail of Order_Details)}<tr><td>${detail.ProductID}</td><td>${detail.UnitPrice}</td><td>${detail.Quantity}</td></tr>${/for}' +
'<table></td></tr>';

let compiledFunction: Function = compile(template);
let groupFn = compile(group);

const SERVICE_URI =  'https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/';

let table: HTMLElement = (<HTMLElement>document.getElementById('datatable'));

new DataManager({ url: SERVICE_URI, adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor })
    .executeQuery(new Query().from('Orders').take(3).hierarchy(
                    new Query()
                        .foreignKey("OrderID")
                        .from("Order_Details")
                        .sortBy("Quantity"),
                    function () {
                        // Selective loading of child elements
                        return [10248, 10249, 10250]
                    }
                ))
    .then((e: ReturnOption) => {
        (<Object[]>e.result).forEach((data: Object) => {
            table.appendChild(compiledFunction(data)[0]);
            table.appendChild(groupFn(data)[0]);
        });
    });
