DataProxy Backend

For connecting to DataProxy-s.

When initializing the DataProxy backend you can set the following attributes:

  • dataproxy: {url-to-proxy} (optional). Defaults to http://jsonpdataproxy.appspot.com

Datasets using using this backend should set the following attributes:

  • url: (required) url-of-data-to-proxy
  • format: (optional) csv | xls (defaults to csv if not specified)

Note that this is a read-only backend.

 
  my.DataProxy = Backbone.Model.extend({
    defaults: {
      dataproxy_url: 'http://jsonpdataproxy.appspot.com'
    },
    sync: function(method, model, options) {
      var self = this;
      if (method === "read") {
        if (model.__type__ == 'Dataset') {

Do nothing as we will get fields in query step (and no metadata to retrieve)

 
          var dfd = $.Deferred();
          dfd.resolve(model);
          return dfd.promise();
        }
      } else {
        alert('This backend only supports read operations');
      }
    },
    query: function(dataset, queryObj) {
      var base = this.get('dataproxy_url');
      var data = {
        url: dataset.get('url')
        , 'max-results':  queryObj.size
        , type: dataset.get('format')
      };
      var jqxhr = $.ajax({
        url: base
        , data: data
        , dataType: 'jsonp'
      });
      var dfd = $.Deferred();
      my.wrapInTimeout(jqxhr).done(function(results) {
        if (results.error) {
          dfd.reject(results.error);
        }
        dataset.fields.reset(_.map(results.fields, function(fieldId) {
          return {id: fieldId};
          })
        );
        var _out = _.map(results.data, function(doc) {
          var tmp = {};
          _.each(results.fields, function(key, idx) {
            tmp[key] = doc[idx];
          });
          return tmp;
        });
        dfd.resolve(_out);
      })
      .fail(function(arguments) {
        dfd.reject(arguments);
      });
      return dfd.promise();
    }
