How do I check if a Kendo Grid has had changes made to it?

Question

How can I check if a Kendo Grid has changes? I heard that there is a dirty property, but I cant find it.

Answer 1

Added rows will have the dirty property set to true and so will updated rows. But, deleted rows are stored elsewhere (in the _destroyed collection). Pass this function the datasource of your grid to see if it has changes.

function doesDataSourceHaveChanges(ds)
{
    var dirty = false;

    $.each(ds._data, function ()
    {
        if (this.dirty == true)
        {
            dirty = true;
        }
    });

    if (ds._destroyed.length > 0) dirty = true;

    return dirty;
}
