JSONDataModel

[gizzmo]

Hi

I need some help with JSONDataModel. I Can't get it to work.

var Grid = function() {

	var schema;
	var jsonDataModel;
	var defaultColumnModel;
	var rowSelectionModel;
	var grid;

	return {
	
		initialize : function() {
			
			var schema = {
				root: 'match',
            		id: 'matchid',
           	 	fields: ['matchno', 'hometeam', 'awayteam']
        		};
        		        		
        		jsonDataModel = new YAHOO.ext.data.JsonDataModel(schema);
    
			var defaultColumnModel = new YAHOO.ext.grid.DefaultColumnModel([
				{header: "#", width: 100, sortable: true}, 
				{header: "HomeTeam", width: 100, sortable: true}, 
				{header: "AwayTeam", width: 100, sortable: true}
			]);
		       
			rowSelectionModel = new YAHOO.ext.grid.RowSelectionModel();

			grid = new YAHOO.ext.grid.Grid('grid', jsonDataModel, defaultColumnModel, rowSelectionModel);
			grid.render();

			var data = eval( {"match":[{"matchid":"5678","matchno":1,"hometeam":"arsenal","awayteam":"aston villa","homeresult":2,"awayresult":1,"matchresult":"1","status":"played"}]} );
			jsonDataModel.loadData(data);

			   	
		},
			
	};

}();

YAHOO.ext.EventManager.on( window, 'load', Grid.initialize, Grid, true);

you know, details about errors are always welcome... :wink: I know some of us(not me) here are debugging living machines but still...

what I'm seeing for now is your eval() line. it should be something like this if you are using eval:

var data = eval('(' + '{"match":[{"matchid":"5678","matchno":1,"hometeam":"arsenal","awayteam":"aston villa","homeresult":2,"awayresult":1,"matchresult":"1","status":"played"}]}' + ')');

your JsonDataModel declaration is also wrong :

new YAHOO.ext.grid.JSONDataModel(schema);

ohh and use Firebug too. it's a firefox extension that helps a whole lot in debugging javascript.

Also, you're declaring the same variables inside and outside your init function. This is likely going to cause you great confusion as you proceed b/c you won't know which is in scope at a given time.

Hi,

I was using the 0.40 alpha version and there Jack has moved all data models to Ext.data.
I don't know if he has done some changes in them. I can't get it to work with 0.40 alpha, but
it works fine in 0.33 RC3 version.

Thanks for your quick responses

Grids are going to be broken from .33 to .40 - that's why Jack started the thread in the dev forum http://www.yui-ext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1910

The new grid code is still not done and if you use it, you're going to have to work thru the instability and breaking changes pretty much on your own until the code stabilizes and it gets documented. If you're not comfortable reading the code to find out what's going on, I would suggest staying with the .33 version until the new code is released.

Hey gizzmo,

So you have been using the .40 alpha version... :o
Since there's no documentation on the matter yet, if I were you I'd take a peak at the code of his benchmark example in the blog as there's a big grid there made with the .40 version.
