class anychart.data.View Improve this Doc

Extends: anychart.core.Base

View is a representation of raw data.
Note: Default View is a view with default mapping.

Methods Overview

Data
concat()Concatenates two views to make a derived view that contains rows from both views.
derive()Creates a derived view, containing just the same data set and order as this view does.
filter()Creates a derived view, containing only the rows that pass the filter.
find()Searches fieldName by fieldValue and returns it index (or the first match).
get()Gets the value from the row by row index and field name.
getDataSets()Returns parent data set.
getIterator()Returns a new iterator for the current view.
getRowsCount()Returns the number of the rows in the current view.
meta()Metadata settings.
row()Row of the set by an index
set()Sets the value to the row field by row index and field name.
sort()Data sorting.
Events
listen()Adds an event listener.
listenOnce()Adds a single time event listener.
removeAllListeners()Removes all listeners.
unlisten()Removes the listener.
unlistenByKey()Removes the listener by the key.

Methods Description

concat

Concatenates two views to make a derived view that contains rows from both views.

Params:

NameTypeDescription
otherViewanychart.data.View | ArrayA view, data set or even an array to concat with.

Returns:

anychart.data.View - The new derived view.

derive

Creates a derived view, containing just the same data set and order as this view does.

Returns:

anychart.data.View - The new derived view.

filter

Creates a derived view, containing only the rows that pass the filter.

Params:

NameTypeDescription
fieldNamestringA field which value will be passed to a filter function.
funcfunctionA filter function that should accept a field value and return true if the row should be included into the resulting view.

Returns:

anychart.data.View - The new derived view.

find

Searches fieldName by fieldValue and returns it index (or the first match).

Params:

NameTypeDescription
fieldNamestringName of the field.
fieldValue*Value of the field.

Returns:

number - Index in view.

get

Gets the value from the row by row index and field name.

Params:

NameTypeDescription
rowIndexnumberIndex of the row to get field value from.
fieldNamestringThe name of the field to be fetched from the current row.

Returns:

* - The field value or undefined, if not found.

getDataSets

Returns parent data set.

Returns:

Array.<anychart.data.Set> - Parent data set.

getIterator

Returns a new iterator for the current view.

Returns:

anychart.data.Iterator - New iterator.

getRowsCount

Returns the number of the rows in the current view.

Returns:

number - The number of the rows in the set.

listen

Adds an event listener to an implementing object.

Params:

NameTypeDefaultDescription
typestring
The event type id.
listenerfunction
Callback method. Function that looks like function(event){ // event.actualTarget - actual event target // event.currentTarget - current event target // event.iterator - event iterator // event.originalEvent - original event // event.point - event point // event.pointIndex - event point index }.
useCaptureboolean
false
Whether to fire in capture phase. Learn more about capturing https://javascript.info/bubbling-and-capturing

Params:

NameTypeDescription
indexnumberRow index.
namestringName of the metadata field.

Returns:

* - Current value.
