kendo grid How to get a row by field value

Question

I need to get a row(s) from my kendo grid, using a string as parameter to filter rows. the grid model is:

{
    id: "id_tipo_pagamento",
    fields: {
        id_tipo_pagamento: { type: "number", editable: false },
        desc_tipo_pagamento: { type: "string"}
}

i tried this, but isn't working:

 var grid = $("#kendoGrid").data("kendoGrid");
 var row = grid.tbody.find("tr[desc_tipo_pagamento=test]");

Answer 1

Instead of using DOM, I would suggest using jQuery.grep on the DataSource.data array (if you want all) or in DataSource.view if you want from the current visible ones.

Example:

// Retrieve all data from the DataSource
var data = grid.dataSource.data();
// Find those records that have desc_tipo_pagamento set to "test"
// and return them in `res` array
var res = $.grep(data, function (d) {
    return d.desc_tipo_pagamento == "test";
});

res will contain a reference to the records in DataSource that matched the condition.
