  87. <h2 id="Overview">Overview</h2>
  88. <p>
  89. Vis.js comes with a flexible DataSet, which can be used to hold and
  90. manipulate unstructured data and listen for changes in the data.
  91. The DataSet is key/value based. Data items can be added, updated and
  92. removed from the DatSet, and one can subscribe to changes in the DataSet.
  93. The data in the DataSet can be filtered and ordered, and fields (like
  94. dates) can be converted to a specific type. Data can be normalized when
  95. appending it to the DataSet as well.
  96. </p>
  97. <h2 id="Example">Example</h2>
  98. <p>
  99. The following example shows how to use a DataSet.
  100. </p>
  101. <pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
  102. // create a DataSet
  103. var options = {};
  104. var data = new vis.DataSet(options);
  105. // add items
  106. // note that the data items can contain different properties and data formats
  107. data.add([
  108. {id: 1, text: 'item 1', date: new Date(2013, 6, 20), group: 1, first: true},
  109. {id: 2, text: 'item 2', date: '2013-06-23', group: 2},
  110. {id: 3, text: 'item 3', date: '2013-06-25', group: 2},
  111. {id: 4, text: 'item 4'}
  112. ]);
  113. // subscribe to any change in the DataSet
  114. data.on('*', function (event, properties, senderId) {
  115. console.log('event', event, properties);
  116. });
  117. // update an existing item
  118. data.update({id: 2, group: 1});
  119. // remove an item
  120. data.remove(4);
  121. // get all ids
  122. var ids = data.getIds();
  123. console.log('ids', ids);
  124. // get a specific item
  125. var item1 = data.get(1);
  126. console.log('item1', item1);
  127. // retrieve a filtered subset of the data
  128. var items = data.get({
  129. filter: function (item) {
  130. return item.group == 1;
  131. }
  132. });
  133. console.log('filtered items', items);
  134. // retrieve formatted items
  135. var items = data.get({
  136. fields: ['id', 'date'],
  137. type: {
  138. date: 'ISODate'
  139. }
  140. });
  141. console.log('formatted items', items);
  142. </pre>
  143. <h2 id="Construction">Construction</h2>
  144. <p>
  145. A DataSet can be constructed as:
  146. </p>
  147. <pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
  148. var data = new vis.DataSet([data] [, options])
  149. </pre>
  150. <p>
  151. After construction, data can be added to the DataSet using the methods
  152. <code>add</code> and <code>update</code>, as described in section
  153. <a href="#Data_Manipulation">Data Manipulation</a>.
  154. </p>
  155. <p>
  156. The parameter <code>data</code> is optional and is an Array with items.
  157. </p>
  158. <p>
  159. The parameter <code>options</code> is optional and is an object which can
  160. contain the following properties:
  161. </p>
  162. <table class="options">
  163. <tr>
  164. <th>Name</th>
  165. <th>Type</th>
  166. <th>Default value</th>

  170. <td>fieldId</td>
  171. <td>String</td>
  172. <td>"id"</td>
  173. <td>
  174. The name of the field containing the id of the items.
  175. When data is fetched from a server which uses some specific
  176. field to identify items, this field name can be specified
  177. in the DataSet using the option <code>fieldId</code>.
  178. For example <a href="http://couchdb.apache.org/"
  179. target="_blank">CouchDB</a> uses the field
  180. <code>"_id"</code> to identify documents.

  188. An object containing field names as key, and data types as
  189. value. By default, the type of the properties of items are left
  190. unchanged. Item properties can be normalized by specifying a
  191. field type. This is useful for example to automatically convert
  192. stringified dates coming from a server into JavaScript Date
  193. objects. The available data types are listed in section
  194. <a href="#Data_Types">Data Types</a>.

  205. or maximum number of entries.

  212. The queue will be flushed automatically after an inactivity of this
  213. delay in milliseconds. Default value is <code>null</code>.

  216. of entries, the queue is flushed automatically.
