Why doesn't Kendo Datasource transmit the "take" parameter? - json

Question

This is my code:
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
transport: {
read: {
url: getMembersUrl,
dataType: "json",
type: "get"
}
},
serverPaging: true,
pageSize: 2,
schema: {
data: "Data",
total: "Total",
}
});
When I call read on the datasource, it doesn't send the pagesize or take (I tried both) as part of the request. I am really scratching my head on this one.

Answer 1

Your code works fine and it sends take as expected. If you run:
var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
transport: {
read: {
url: "fake",
dataType: "json",
type: "get"
}
},
serverPaging: true,
pageSize: 2,
schema: {
data: "Data",
total: "Total",
}
});
And define a button and a handler for triggering the read:
<button id="read" class="k-button">Read</button>
$("#read").on("click", function() {
console.log("About to fetch data");
dataSource.fetch();
});
As here : http://jsfiddle.net/OnaBai/34qe4oks/
You will see in the browser console that it actually sends the request:
If you don't see the request is very likely because you are not actually reading from the DataSource (remember that the Grid DataSource is read when the Grid finishes its initialization)
