Reloading/refreshing Kendo Grid

Question

How to reload or refresh a Kendo Grid using Javascript?

It is often required to reload or refresh a grid after sometime or after a user action.

Answer 1

You can use

$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read(); <!--  first reload data source -->

$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').refresh(); <!--  refresh current UI -->

Answer 2

I never do refresh .

$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();

alone works for me all the time.

Answer 3

$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();
$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').refresh();

Answer 4

In a recent project, I had to update the Kendo UI Grid based on some calls, that were happening on some dropdown selects. Here is what I ended up using:

$.ajax({
        url: '/api/....',
        data: { myIDSArray: javascriptArrayOfIDs },
        traditional: true,
        success: function(result) {
            searchResults = result;
        }
    }).done(function() {
        var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({ data: searchResults });
        var grid = $('#myKendoGrid').data("kendoGrid");
        dataSource.read();
        grid.setDataSource(dataSource);
    });

Hopefully this will save you some time.

Answer 5

Not a single one of these answers gets the fact that read returns a promise, which means you can wait for the data to load before calling refresh.

$('#GridId').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read().then(function() {
    $('#GridId').data('kendoGrid').refresh();
});

This is unnecessary if your data grab is instant/synchronous, but more than likely it's coming from an endpoint that won't return immediately.

Answer 6

If you do not want to have a reference to the grid in the handler, you can use this code:

 $(".k-pager-refresh").trigger('click');

This will refresh the grid, if there is a refresh button. The button can be enabled like so:

[MVC GRID DECLARATION].Pageable(p=> p.Refresh(true))

Answer 7

Actually, they are different:

• $('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read() refreshes the uid attributes of the table row

• $('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').refresh() leaves the same uid

Answer 8

In my case I had a custom url to go to each time; though the schema of the result would remain the same.
I used the following:

var searchResults = null;
$.ajax({
        url: http://myhost/context/resource,
        dataType: "json",
        success: function (result, textStatus, jqXHR) {
            //massage results and store in searchResults
            searchResults = massageData(result);
        }
    }).done(function() {
        //Kendo grid stuff
        var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({ data: searchResults });
        var grid = $('#doc-list-grid').data('kendoGrid');
        dataSource.read();
        grid.setDataSource(dataSource);
    });

Answer 9

What you have to do is just add an event .Events(events => events.Sync("KendoGridRefresh")) in your kendoGrid binding code.No need to write the refresh code in ajax result.

@(Html.Kendo().Grid<Models.DocumentDetail>().Name("document")
    .DataSource(dataSource => dataSource
    .Ajax()
    .PageSize(20)
    .Model(model => model.Id(m => m.Id))        
    .Events(events => events.Sync("KendoGridRefresh"))    
    )
      .Columns(columns =>
      {
          columns.Bound(c => c.Id).Hidden();              
          columns.Bound(c => c.UserName).Title(@Resources.Resource.lblAddedBy);                           
      }).Events(e => e.DataBound("onRowBound"))
          .ToolBar(toolbar => toolbar.Create().Text(@Resources.Resource.lblNewDocument))
          .Sortable()          
          .HtmlAttributes(new { style = "height:260px" })          
  )

And you can add the following Global function in any of your .js file. so, you can call it for all the kendo grids in your project to refresh the kendoGrid.

function KendoGridRefresh() {
    var grid = $('#document').data('kendoGrid');
    grid.dataSource.read();
}

Answer 10

I used Jquery .ajax to get data. In order to reload the data into current grid, I need to do the following:

.success (function (result){
    $("#grid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.data(result.data);
})

Answer 11

You can use the below lines

$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();
$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').refresh();

For a auto refresh feature have a look here

Answer 12

By using following code it automatically called grid's read method and again fill grid

$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();

Answer 13

An alternative way to reload the grid is

$("#GridName").getKendoGrid().dataSource.read();

Answer 14

You can always use $('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();. You don't really need to .refresh(); after that, .dataSource.read(); will do the trick.

Now if you want to refresh your grid in a more angular way, you can do:

<div kendo-grid="vm.grid" id="grid" options="vm.gridOptions"></div>

vm.grid.dataSource.read();`

OR

vm.gridOptions.dataSource.read();

And don't forget to declare your datasource as kendo.data.DataSource type

Answer 15

I want to go back to page 1 when I refresh the grid. Just calling the read() function will keep you on the current page, even if the new results don't have that many pages. Calling .page(1) on the datasource will refresh the datasource AND return to page 1 but fails on grids that aren't pageable. This function handles both:

function refreshGrid(selector) {
     var grid = $(selector);
     if (grid.length === 0)
         return;

     grid = grid.data('kendoGrid');
     if (grid.getOptions().pageable) {
         grid.dataSource.page(1);
     }
     else {
         grid.dataSource.read();
     }
}

Answer 16

In order to do a complete refresh, where the grid will be re-rendered alongwith new read request, you can do the following:

 Grid.setOptions({
      property: true/false
    });

Where property can be any property e.g. sortable

Answer 17

You may try:

    $('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();
$('#GridName').data('kendoGrid').refresh();

Answer 18

If you are desiring the grid to be automatically refreshed on a timed basis, you can use the following example which has the interval set at 30 seconds:

   <script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
      $(document).ready(function () {
         setInterval(function () {
            var grid = $("#GridName").data("kendoGrid");
            grid.dataSource.read();
         }, 30000);
      });
   </script>

Answer 19

Just write below code

$('.k-i-refresh').click();

Answer 20

$("#theidofthegrid").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.data([ ]);

Answer 21

The default/updated configuration/data of the widgets is set to automatically bind to an associated DataSource.

$('#GridId').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();
$('#GridId').data('kendoGrid').refresh();

Answer 22

You can also refresh your grid with sending new parameters to Read action and setting pages to what you like :

var ds = $("#gridName").data("kendoGrid").dataSource;
ds.options.page = 1;
var parameters = {
    id: 1
    name: 'test'
}
ds.read(parameters);

In this example read action of the grid is being called by 2 parameters value and after getting result the paging of the grid is in page 1.

Answer 23

The easiest way out to refresh is using the refresh() function. Which goes like:

$('#gridName').data('kendoGrid').refresh();

while you can also refresh the data source using this command:

$('#gridName').data('kendoGrid').dataSource.read();

The latter actually reloads the data source of the grid. The use of both can be done according to your need and requirement.

Answer 24

$("#grd").data("kendoGrid").dataSource.read();
