Using SlickGrid to update data accessible to client via REST API

[Mark Wood-Patrick]

It seems like the DataView interface could be used to create a custom data provider to provide CRUD interface for data accessible via a REST api but I can't find any examples which do this. Does anyone know of any or any reasons why this would be a problem?

The primary reason would be that given the current DataView interface, your AJAX calls to the REST backend would have to be synchronous, which is a deal-breaker.

Any plans to fix this I really like the functionality slickgrid provides. Failing that any other recommendations on the best way to proceed or similar libraries that don't have this issue?

There's no "issue" and nothing to "fix" - you just need to write your own async REST data provider that fits your use case.  

What you probably mean to say, is that you'd rather not do that work :)

I'm not aware of any such universal data providers written for SlickGrid.  If memory serves jqGrid and ExtJS grid had something like that.

No I'm happy to write the data provider just don't want to reinvent the wheel. Will add it to my todo list

Hi Mark,

Did you get anywhere with writing the CRUD interface with a REST api?

Is it something you might want to share you code?

Thanks.

[Mark Wood-Patrick]

Sorry no 

I moved to a different project before I got a chance to work on this

best wishes

Mark
