A DataView offers a filtered and/or formatted view on a
|
|
<a href="dataset.html">DataSet</a>.
|
|
One can subscribe on changes in a DataView, and easily get filtered or
|
|
formatted data without having to specify filters and field types all
|
|
the time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="Example">Example</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The following example shows how to use a DataView.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
// create a DataSet
|
|
var data = new vis.DataSet();
|
|
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'}
|
|
]);
|
|
|
|
// create a DataView
|
|
// the view will only contain items having a property group with value 1,
|
|
// and will only output fields id, text, and date.
|
|
var view = new vis.DataView(data, {
|
|
filter: function (item) {
|
|
return (item.group == 1);
|
|
},
|
|
fields: ['id', 'text', 'date']
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// subscribe to any change in the DataView
|
|
view.on('*', function (event, properties, senderId) {
|
|
console.log('event', event, properties);
|
|
});
|
|
|
|
// update an item in the data set
|
|
data.update({id: 2, group: 1});
|
|
|
|
// get all ids in the view
|
|
var ids = view.getIds();
|
|
console.log('ids', ids); // will output [1, 2]
|
|
|
|
// get all items in the view
|
|
var items = view.get();

</pre>

A DataView can be constructed as:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
var data = new vis.DataView(dataset, options)
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
where:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>dataset</code> is a DataSet or DataView.
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<code>options</code> is an object which can
|
|
contain the following properties. Note that these properties
|
|
are exactly the same as the properties available in methods
|
|
<code>DataSet.get</code> and <code>DataView.get</code>.
|
|
|
|

|
|
<td>convert</td>
|
|
<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 an item are left
|
|
unchanged. When a field type is specified, this field in the
|
|
items will be converted to the specified type. This can be used
|
|
for example to convert ISO strings containing a date to a
|
|
JavaScript Date object, or convert strings to numbers or vice
|
|
versa. The available data types are listed in section
|
|
<a href="dataset.html#Data_Types">Data Types</a>.

|
|
</tr>
|
|
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td>fields</td>
|
|
<td>String[ ]</td>
|
|
<td>
|
|
An array with field names.
|
|
By default, all properties of the items are emitted.
|
|
When <code>fields</code> is defined, only the properties
|
|
whose name is specified in <code>fields</code> will be included
|
|
in the returned items.

<td>Items can be filtered on specific properties by providing a filter
|
|
function. A filter function is executed for each of the items in the
|
|
DataSet, and is called with the item as parameter. The function must
|
|
return a boolean. All items for which the filter function returns
|
|
true will be emitted.

<h2 id="Getting_Data">Getting Data</h2>
|
|
|

<p>
|
|
Data of the DataView can be retrieved using the method <code>get</code>.

<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
var items = view.get();

|

|
<p>
|
|
Data of a DataView can be filtered and formatted again, in exactly the
|
|
same way as in a DataSet. See sections
|
|
<a href="dataset.html#Data_Filtering">Data Filtering</a> and
|
|
<a href="dataset.html#Data_Formatting">Data Formatting</a> for more
|
|
information.

fields: ['id', 'score'],

<h2 id="Subscriptions">Subscriptions</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
One can subscribe on changes in the DataView. Subscription works exactly
|
|
the same as for DataSets. See the documentation on
|
|
<a href="dataset.html#Subscriptions">subscriptions in a DataSet</a>
|
|
for more information.
