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

  154. <td>fieldId</td>
  155. <td>String</td>
  156. <td>"id"</td>
  157. <td>
  158. The name of the field containing the id of the items.
  159. When data is fetched from a server which uses some specific
  160. field to identify items, this field name can be specified
  161. in the DataSet using the option <code>fieldId</code>.
  162. For example <a href="http://couchdb.apache.org/"
  163. target="_blank">CouchDB</a> uses the field
  164. <code>"_id"</code> to identify documents.

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

  189. or maximum number of entries.

  197. delay in milliseconds. Default value is <code>null</code>.
