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

You can get notified and use the change event of the dataSource which will occur wherever you page/sort/group/filter/create/read/update/delete record.

To attach a handler to it use:

$('#YourGrid').data().kendoGrid.dataSource.bind('change',function(e){
    //the event argument here will indicate what action just happned
    console.log(e.action)// could be => "itemchange","add" or "remove" if you made any changes to the items
})

Update: If the user has updated any of the models .hasChanges() method of the dataSource will return true.
