DataProxy

DataProxy is a helper that enables communication with external datasources. Using the helper allows creating a custom URL and assigning it to a variable that considerably simplifies work with server-side backend.

var proxy = new dhx.DataProxy("someUrl", {
    // config options 
})

The dhx.DataProxy helper takes two parameters:

url - (string) ordinary, the external URL
config - (object) optional, a configuration object to be sent to the server with a request

For example, you can apply it either to DataCollection:

var dataCollection = new dhx.DataCollection();
var proxy = new dhx.DataProxy("https://myCustomUrl.com");
dataCollection.load(proxy);

or to any component of the dhtmlxSuite library that operate with data:

var grid = new dhx.Grid(...);
var proxy = new dhx.DataProxy("https://myCustomUrl.com");
grid.data.load(proxy);

The list of the available methods of dhx.DataProxy is described below.

Methods

load	loads data from an external URL
