Using deep mapping in slickgrid dataview

I recently got out of using dummy data for my slickgrid and now I'm using mongodb data that has an Id as an ObjectId

Before

{"_id":"123456789", "name": "Name"}

and I could set dataview using this

dataView.setItems(data, "_id");

Now Mongo gives me this from my db

{"_id":ObjectId("570e6d3cd9e2ce225877b8a8"), "name": "Name"}

And My java service posting the json, serializes it to this

{ "_id" : { "$oid" : "570e6d3cd9e2ce225877b8a8"} , "name": "Name"}

and the problem is that setItems sees all the _id's as an object and not as a unique id

I've tried things like 

  dataView.setItems(data, "_id.$oid");

and

  dataView.setItems(data, "$oid");

But I can't get any of them to work. How should I be declaring setItems now to get the $oid?

Edit: Alright a friend thinks that dataView.setItems doesn't support deep mapping. I'm now looking into setting $oid to the top level but if anyone knows of another way, please help me out

Solution

  • So I couldnt get setItems to take $oid so I just changed the value of _id

    $.each(data, function(index, value) {
    value._id = value._id.$oid;
});
dataView.setItems(data, "_id");
