<p>
|
|
Vis.js comes with a flexible DataSet, which can be used to hold and
|
|
manipulate unstructured data and listen for changes in the data.
|
|
The DataSet is key/value based. Data items can be added, updated and
|
|
removed from the DatSet, and one can subscribe to changes in the DataSet.
|
|
The data in the DataSet can be filtered and ordered, and fields (like
|
|
dates) can be converted to a specific type. Data can be normalized when
|
|
appending it to the DataSet as well.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="Example">Example</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following example shows how to use a DataSet.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
// create a DataSet
|
|
var options = {};
|
|
var data = new vis.DataSet(options);
|
|
|
|
// add items
|
|
// note that the data items can contain different properties and data formats
|
|
data.add([
|
|
{id: 1, text: 'item 1', date: new Date(2013, 6, 20), group: 1, first: true},
|
|
{id: 2, text: 'item 2', date: '2013-06-23', group: 2},
|
|
{id: 3, text: 'item 3', date: '2013-06-25', group: 2},
|
|
{id: 4, text: 'item 4'}
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
// subscribe to any change in the DataSet
|
|
data.on('*', function (event, properties, senderId) {
|
|
console.log('event', event, properties);
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// update an existing item
|
|
data.update({id: 2, group: 1});
|
|
|
|
// remove an item
|
|
data.remove(4);
|
|
|
|
// get all ids
|
|
var ids = data.getIds();
|
|
console.log('ids', ids);
|
|
|
|
// get a specific item
|
|
var item1 = data.get(1);
|
|
console.log('item1', item1);
|
|
|
|
// retrieve a filtered subset of the data
|
|
var items = data.get({
|
|
filter: function (item) {
|
|
return item.group == 1;
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
console.log('filtered items', items);
|
|
|
|
// retrieve formatted items
|
|
var items = data.get({
|
|
fields: ['id', 'date'],
|
|
type: {
|
|
date: 'ISODate'
|
|
}
|
|
});
|
|
console.log('formatted items', items);
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="Construction">Construction</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A DataSet can be constructed as:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
var data = new vis.DataSet([data] [, options])
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
After construction, data can be added to the DataSet using the methods
|
|
<code>add</code> and <code>update</code>, as described in section
|
|
<a href="#Data_Manipulation">Data Manipulation</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The parameter <code>data</code> is optional and is an Array with items.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The parameter <code>options</code> is optional and is an object which can
|
|
contain the following properties:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<table class="options">
|
|

|
|

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

|

|

|
|
<td>Object.<String, String></td>
|

|
|
<td>
|

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

|

or maximum number of entries.

|
|
|
|
Syntax:
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">var addedIds = DataSet.add(data [, senderId])</pre>

The argument <code>data</code> can contain:
|

|
An <code>Object</code> containing a single item to be
|
|
added. The item must contain an id.

</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
After the items are added to the DataSet, the DataSet will

|
trigger an event <code>add</code>. When a <code>senderId</code>
|
|
is provided, this id will be passed with the triggered
|
|
event to all subscribers.
|
|
</p>

<h3 id="Update">Update</h3>
|

</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
After the items are updated, the DataSet will
|
|
trigger an event <code>add</code> for the added items, and

an event <code>update</code>. When a <code>senderId</code>

DataSet.

The DataSet contains functionality to format, filter, and sort data retrieved via the
