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
• params - (object) optional, a set of custom parameters 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.

load	loads data from an external URL
save	sends an AJAX request to the server
updateUrl	updates the initial URL and parameters that were specified when initializing proxy
