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>code> is optional and can be an Array or
|
|
Google DataTable with items.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The parameter <code>options</code> is optional and is an object which can
|
|
contain the following properties:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr>

|
|
<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.

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

methods <code>get</code>, <code>getIds</code>, <code>forEach</code>, and <code>map</code>. These methods have the following syntax:

Data can be retrieved from the DataSet using the method <code>get</code>.
|
|
This method can return a single item or a list with items.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A single item can be retrieved by its id:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
var item1 = dataset.get(1);
|
|
</pre>
|
|

<p>A selection of items can be retrieved by providing an array with ids:</p>

|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">
|
|
var items = dataset.get([1, 3, 4]); // retrieve items 1, 3, and 4
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>All items can be retrieved by simply calling <code>get</code> without
|
|
specifying an id:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre class="prettyprint lang-js">

var items = dataset.get(); // retrieve all items

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.
