Kendo DataSource $expand on multiple fields

I'm trying to get the $expand directive to work as below.

This works fine if I expand on on a single entity, but fails for both when expanding on more than one. (i.e. $expand: "Product", works works fine)

Anyone succeeded with this?

  dataSource: {
                type: "odata",
                transport: {
                    read: {
                        url: "odata/OrderDetail",
                        dataType: "json",
                        contentType: "application/json",
                        data: {
                            $expand: ["Product", "Category"]
                        }
                    }
Solution

  • $expand: "Product,Category"

    I assumed that "$expand" was built into KUI datasource. But the data:{ } param. allows arbitrary specification (which it injects into the request).

    So, one can use $mickeymouse, and long as your odata controller handles it
