# Class Ext.data.ArrayReader

Package: | Ext.data
Defined In: | ArrayReader.js
Class: | ArrayReader
Extends: | JsonReader

Data reader class to create an Array of Ext.data.Record objects from an Array. Each element of that Array represents a row of data fields. The fields are pulled into a Record object using as a subscript, the `mapping` property of the field definition if it exists, or the field's ordinal position in the definition.

Example code:

    var Employee = Ext.data.Record.create([
        {name: 'name', mapping: 1},         // "mapping" only needed if an "id" field is present which
        {name: 'occupation', mapping: 2}    // precludes using the ordinal position as the index.
    ]);
    var myReader = new Ext.data.ArrayReader({
        idIndex: 0
    }, Employee);

This would consume an Array like this:

    [ [1, 'Bill', 'Gardener'], [2, 'Ben', 'Horticulturalist'] ]

The name of the property which contains the Array of row objects. Defaults to `undefined`. An exception will be thrown if the root property is undefined. The data packet value for this property should be an empty array to clear the data or show no data. | JsonReader

[total] Name of the property from which to retrieve the total number of records in the dataset. This is only needed if the whole dataset is not passed in one go, but is being paged from the remote server. Defaults to `total`. | JsonReader

| ArrayReader( `Object meta`, `Array/Object recordType` ) Create a new ArrayReader Create a new ArrayReader Parameters: `meta` : Object Metadata configuration options. `recordType` : Array/Object Either an Array of Field definition objects (which will be passed to Ext.data.Record.create, or a Record constructor created from Ext.data.Record.create. Returns: void | ArrayReader

Returns true if the supplied data-hash looks and quacks like data. Checks to see if it has a key corresponding to idProperty defined in your DataReader config containing non-empty pk. Parameters: `data` : Object Returns: `Boolean` | DataReader
| read( `Object response` ) : Object This method is only used by a DataProxy which has retrieved data from a remote server. This method is only used by a DataProxy which has retrieved data from a remote server. Parameters: `response` : Object The XHR object which contains the JSON data in its responseText. Returns: `Object` data A data block which is used by an Ext.data.Store object as a cache of Ext.data.Records. | JsonReader
| readRecords( `Object o` ) : Object Create a data block containing Ext.data.Records from an Array. Create a data block containing Ext.data.Records from an Array. Parameters: `o` : Object An Array of row objects which represents the dataset. Returns: `Object` data A data block which is used by an Ext.data.Store object as a cache of Ext.data.Records. | ArrayReader
| readResponse( `String action`, `Object response` ) : Response Decode a JSON response from server. Decode a JSON response from server. Parameters: `action` : String [Ext.data.Api.actions.create|read|update|destroy] `response` : Object The XHR object returned through an Ajax server request. Returns: `Response` A {@link Ext.data.Response Response} object containing the data response, and also status information. | JsonReader

Used for un-phantoming a record after a successful database insert. Sets the records pk along with new data from server. You must return at least the database pk using the idProperty defined in your DataReader configuration. The incoming data from server will be merged with the data in the local record. In addition, you must return record-data from the server in the same order received. Will perform a commit as well, un-marking dirty-fields. Store's "update" event will be suppressed. Parameters: `record` : Record/Record[] The phantom record to be realized. `data` : Object/Object[] The new record data to apply. Must include the primary-key from database defined in idProperty field. Returns: void | DataReader
| update( `Record/Record[] rs`, `Object/Object[] data` ) : void Used for updating a non-phantom or "real" record's data with fresh data from server after remote-save. If returning d... Used for updating a non-phantom or "real" record's data with fresh data from server after remote-save. If returning data from multiple-records after a batch-update, you must return record-data from the server in the same order received. Will perform a commit as well, un-marking dirty-fields. Store's "update" event will be suppressed as the record receives fresh new data-hash Parameters: `rs` : Record/Record[] `data` : Object/Object[] Returns: void | DataReader
