Ext.data.reader.Json totalProperty with dot "."

[stevo.zilik]

Hi

I have an usual JSON comming back from server that looks like this:

{
      "values": [...],
      "data.length": 100
}

where "data.length" is my totalProperty (number of total records in the dataset, for paging). The problem is when I put "data.length" into my totalProperty, it's trying to be clever and look for a "data" object with a "length" property. Is there any way of telling it not to be clever and just take the name as I've passed it?

Thanks.
Stevo

javascript uses "." (dot) notation internally, so it's not advisable to use it in strings that could get confusing in a similar way to your json being misinterpreted. You wouldn't create an object with a key of "Object", would you?

{
"Object" : {}
}

Any chance you can change the dot to a different character?

I agree with you, but unfortunately that's not something I can change. If I could, then I would...

So I need a solution on js side.

See:

http://docs.sencha.com/ext-js/4-1/so...createAccessor

You've got a wealth of options available, such as:

totalProperty: '["data.length"]'

or:

totalProperty: function(obj) {
    return obj['data.length'];
}

or useSimpleAccessors:
