store.getById too slow

[stevo.zilik]

Hi,

I need a faster search mechanism than iterating through all the records in the store by using store.getById(...).

I've looked at the code and tried to replace it with

Ext.override(Ext.data.Store, {
    getById: function (id) {
        return (this.snapshot || this.data).getByKey(id);
    }
});

but the records are not mapped using the Model configured 'idProperty', instead it's mapped using some auto-generated 'internalId' which is not something I can utilize.

What can I do to search the store by id using a map?

Thanks,
Stevo

Is there no unique id field in the table?

Can you use a for/loop for all the records and perform your action instead of do a hard id search for each?

I have unique id's, which I'd love to use, but the store doesn't let me, there is no api for it

I need to find one specific record from the store by it's id (idProperty). I don't want to use for loop, that's expensive, I want to use (some kind of) map

How many records are in the store that you're using getById() on? I'm wondering why it's being slow for you. If you really want to map the records, you could do it when the store loads (or some other event happens). Here is sample code for writing a map and overriding the default getById function to use it:

Ext.define('App.override.Store', {
  override: 'Ext.data.Store',
  getById: function (id) {
    return this.idMap[id];
  }
});

var store = Ext.create('Ext.data.Store', {
  storeId: 'names',
  fields: ['id','Name'],
  data: [
    { id: 1, Name: 'Bob' },
    { id: 2, Name: 'Joe' },
    { id: 3, Name: 'Watson' },
  ]
});

store.on('load', function(store, records, successful) {

  store.idMap = {};

  if (successful) {
    Ext.Array.forEach(records, function(record) {
      store.idMap[record.getId()] = record;
    });
  }
});

Remember, you could always name the new method something other than getById.
