将Dojo Dgrid连接到Solr

Question

I'm trying to connect a dojo dgrid to a solr data service and need some help. When I use jsonp I can get connected to the solr data and output the data result to the screen with something like this: dojo.require("dojo.io.script"); function searchGoogle(){ // Look up the node we'll stick the text under. var targetNode = dojo.byId("output");

       // The parameters to pass to xhrGet, the url, how to handle it, and the callbacks.
       var jsonpArgs = {
         url: "myExternalSolrURL",
         callbackParamName: "json.wrf",
         content: {
           wt: "json",
           rows: "12",
           start: "1",
           q: "*"
         },
         load: function(data){
           // Set the data from the search into the viewbox in nicely formatted JSON
           targetNode.innerHTML = "<pre>" + dojo.toJson(data, true) + "</pre>";
         },
         error: function(error){
           targetNode.innerHTML = "An unexpected error occurred: " + error;
         }
       };
       dojo.io.script.get(jsonpArgs);
     }
     dojo.ready(searchGoogle);

But, when I try to use jsonrest to connect to the solr data and get it to show up in a dgrid nothing appears to happen. This is the code I have for that:

<script>
    var myStore, dataStore, grid;
    require([
    "dojo/store/JsonRest",
    "dojo/store/Memory",
    "dojo/store/Cache",
    "dgrid/Grid",
    "dojo/data/ObjectStore",
    "dojo/query",
    "dijit/form/Button",
    "dojo/domReady!"
    ], function (JsonRest, Memory, Cache, Grid, ObjectStore, query, Button, domReady) {
        myStore = Cache(JsonRest({
            target: "myExternalSolrURL", 
            idProperty: "id" 
            }), 
            Memory({ idProperty: "id" }));
        grid = new Grid({
            store: dataStore = ObjectStore({ objectStore: myStore }),
            structure: [
    { name: "Thing id", field: "id", width: "50px" },
    { name: "Name", field: "name", width: "200px" },
    { name: "detail", field: "detail", width: "200px" }
    ]
        }, "grid"); // make sure you have a target HTML element with this id
        grid.startup();
    });
</script>

<div style="height: 300px; width: 600px; margin: 10px;">
    <div id="grid">
    </div>
</div>

Does anyone see what I am missing?

Answer 1

1. You changed your code to use dgrid, but it looks like you are still attempting to use a dojo/data store with dgrid. dgrid only supports the dojo/store API, so stop wrapping your store in ObjectStore .
2. dgrid/List and dgrid/Grid do not contain store logic. You will want to either use dgrid/OnDemandGrid or mix in dgrid/extensions/Pagination .
3. Make sure the service you are using with dojo/store/JsonRest actually behaves as the store implementation expects (or use or write a diffrent dojo/store implementation)

Answer 2

Apparently part of the problem is that a Solr index is not a flat data structure like a grid or dgrid can deal with. When you have nested data returned like a Solr or ElasticSearch index will return it must be "flattened" to go into a grid. However, this sort of hierarchy of data will work with a tree vs a grid. So the next challenge is to connect to the index and flatten it.
