  75. A DataView offers a filtered and/or formatted view on a
  76. <a href="dataset.html">DataSet</a>.
  77. One can subscribe on changes in a DataView, and easily get filtered or
  78. formatted data without having to specify filters and field types all
  79. the time.
  80. </p>
  81. <h2 id="Example">Example</h2>
  82. <p>
  83. The following example shows how to use a DataView.
  84. </p>
  85. <pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
  86. // create a DataSet
  87. var data = new vis.DataSet();
  88. data.add([
  89. {id: 1, text: 'item 1', date: new Date(2013, 6, 20), group: 1, first: true},
  90. {id: 2, text: 'item 2', date: '2013-06-23', group: 2},
  91. {id: 3, text: 'item 3', date: '2013-06-25', group: 2},
  92. {id: 4, text: 'item 4'}
  93. ]);
  94. // create a DataView
  95. // the view will only contain items having a property group with value 1,
  96. // and will only output fields id, text, and date.
  97. var view = new vis.DataView(data, {
  98. filter: function (item) {
  99. return (item.group == 1);
  100. },
  101. fields: ['id', 'text', 'date']
  102. });
  103. // subscribe to any change in the DataView
  104. view.on('*', function (event, properties, senderId) {
  105. console.log('event', event, properties);
  106. });
  107. // update an item in the data set
  108. data.update({id: 2, group: 1});
  109. // get all ids in the view
  110. var ids = view.getIds();
  111. console.log('ids', ids); // will output [1, 2]
  112. // get all items in the view
  113. var items = view.get();
  114. </pre>
  115. <h2 id="Construction">Construction</h2>
  116. <p>
  117. A DataView can be constructed as:
  118. </p>
  119. <pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
  120. var data = new vis.DataView(dataset, options)
  121. </pre>

  130. <code>options</code> is an object which can
  131. contain the following properties. Note that these properties
  132. are exactly the same as the properties available in methods
  133. <code>DataSet.get</code> and <code>DataView.get</code>.
  134. <table class="options">

  146. An object containing field names as key, and data types as value.
  147. By default, the type of the properties of an item are left
  148. unchanged. When a field type is specified, this field in the
  149. items will be converted to the specified type. This can be used
  150. for example to convert ISO strings containing a date to a
  151. JavaScript Date object, or convert strings to numbers or vice
  152. versa. The available data types are listed in section
  153. <a href="dataset.html#Data_Types">Data Types</a>.

  237. <td>refresh()</td>
  238. <td>none</td>
  239. <td>
  240. Refresh the filter results of a DataView. Useful when the filter function contains dynamic properties, like:
  241. <pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var data = new vis.DataSet(...);

  282. var items = view.get();
  283. </pre>
  284. <p>
  285. Data of a DataView can be filtered and formatted again, in exactly the
