Question

I am trying to implement the dojo DataGrid component.

I have a BigDecimal[][] object that I would like to use as the store.

I am just not sure what store to use.

I thought the CsvStore would work but it failed to load any data.

I could use the JsonRestStore but my grid only needs to be loaded initially and I would have to go back to my service class and format my current BigDecimal[][] object into some kind of List<SomeNewObject> object.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks

I think a dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore is OK for you. Suppose your BigDecimal[][] looks like:

[
    [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6],
    [3, 4, 5, 3, 5, 1] 
]

You can create a dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore using:

var store = new dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore({
    items : [
        {col1 : 1, col2 : 2, col3 : 3, col4 : 4, col5 : 5, col6 : 6},
        {col1 : 3, col2 : 4, col3 : 5, col4 : 3, col5 : 5, col6 : 1}
    ]
});
