使用缓存在Kendo UI树视图中加载延迟

Question

I am using Kendo UI TreeView to load hierarchical data in my webpage. By default, I am loading data upto 3 levels (ie Root -> Root directs -> Root directs' directs). I need a way to lazily load the remaining nodes as user expands further down the tree. Also, the already fetched data must be cached locally to avoid unnecessary calls for already expanded nodes. I am new to Kendo UI and do not have enough time to go through documentation. The json looks like

   {
      Id: '1',
      ParentId: '-1',
      Payload: {... }
      Children: [
          Id: '2',
          ParentId: '1',
          PayLoad: {...},
          Children: [{...}]
          ]
            ....
    }

Can someone point out to code samples ? How much of the above is supported out of box by Kendo ?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

That functionality is not supported by the out of the box configuration, but can be achieved through a custom transport. Here's how to create hybrid data sources that work with the localData array if the items are available, and otherwise perform requests to the server.

 var localData = [ { id: 1, text: "Node 1", hasChildren: true, items: [ { id: 101, text: "Node 1.1", hasChildren: true, items: [ { id: 10101, text: "Node 1.1.1" } ] } ] }, { id: 2, hasChildren: true, text: "Node 2" }, { id: 3, hasChildren: true, text: "Node 3" } ]; function get(data, id) { if (!id) { return data; } else { for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) { if (data[i].id == id) { return data[i].items; } else if (data[i].items) { var result = get(data[i].items, id); if (result) return result; } } } } var homogeneous = new kendo.data.HierarchicalDataSource({ transport: { read: function (options) { var id = options.data.id; var data = get(localData, id); if (data) { options.success(data); } else { // mock call to server with static data // you can use $.ajax() and call options.success(data) on success setTimeout(function() { options.success([ { id: id + 1, text: "Remote node 1", hasChildren: false }, { id: id + 2, text: "Remote node 2", hasChildren: true } ]); }, 1000); } } }, schema: { model: { id: "id" } } }); $("#tree").kendoTreeView({ dataSource: homogeneous });

Answer 2

After some more work, I got this to work. I'm still not sure why the localData variable is needed, since the Kendo treeview doesn't seem to use it once a node is already in there. Here's my solution anyhow:

<div id="treeview"> </div>

<script>
    var serviceRoot = "http://<local name>:58754/api/";

    var localData;

    $(document).ready(function () {        

        var homogeneous = new kendo.data.HierarchicalDataSource({
            transport: {
                read: function (options) {
                    if (typeof options.data.ID != 'undefined') {
                        var id = options.data.ID;
                        var data = getNextLevel(localData, id);
                        if (data) {
                            options.success(data);
                        } else {
                            var currentnode = get(localData, id);
                            if (currentnode.Level == 1) {
                                $.ajax({
                                    url: serviceRoot + "tree",
                                    data: 'ID=' + currentnode.ID + '&Level=' + currentnode.Level,
                                    type: "Get",
                                    success: function (result) {
                                        setTimeout(function () {
                                            var res = result;
                                            addToLocalData(localData, res, currentnode.ID);
                                            options.success(res);
                                        }, 1000);

                                    },
                                    error: function (result) {
                                        options.error(result);
                                    }
                                });
                            } else {
                                if (currentnode.Level == 2) {
                                    $.ajax({
                                        url: serviceRoot + "tree",

I'm using a stored procedure to read values from 3 tables into a Tree object. Here is the code for the Tree object:

public class Tree
{
    public Guid ID { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public bool HasChildren { get; set; }
    public int Level { get; set; }
    public IEnumerable<Tree> Items { get; set; }
}

And my Stored procedure:

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetTreeItems] 
@ID uniqueidentifier, @CurrentLevel int

AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON;

if @CurrentLevel is null
    select IDStation as ID, StationName as Name, null as IDParent, 1 as [Level] ,
    case when (select COUNT(*) from Unit where Unit.IDStation = Station.IDStation) > 0 then 1 else 0 end as HasChildren
    from Station
    order by [Level], Name
--union

else if @CurrentLevel = 1
    select IDUnit as ID, UnitName as Name, Station.IDStation as IDParent, 2 as [Level], 
    case when (select COUNT(*) from Component where Component.IDUnit = Unit.IDUnit) > 0 then 1 else 0 end as HasChildren
    from Unit inner join Station on Station.IDStation = Unit.IDStation
    where Station.IDStation = @ID
    order by [Level], Name
--union 

if @CurrentLevel = 2
    select IDComponent as ID, ComponentName as Name, Unit.IDUnit as IDParent, 
    3 as [Level], 0 as HasChildren
    from Component inner join Unit on unit.IDUnit = Component.IDUnit
    where Unit.IDUnit = @ID
    order by [Level], Name

END
