Kendo DataSource: How to define “Computed” Properties for data read from remote odata source

Question

Situation:

• kendo DataSource

  var ordersDataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
      type: \"odata\",
      transport: {
          read: {
                  
  
  
          

Answer 1

You can create a calculated field by specifying the model of the data source:

  dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
    data: [
      { first: "John", last: "Doe" }, 
      { first: "Jane", last: "Doe" }
    ],
    schema: {
      model: {
        // Calculated field
        fullName: function() {
          return this.get("first") + " " + this.get("last");
        }
      }
    }
  });
