Description

Demonstrates how to create a server proxy in order to perform cross domain JSON requests.

Usage

1. Copy the Proxy method from HomeController.cs to a controller in your project.

2. Set the url option to Url.Action("Proxy", "YourController")".

3. Pass the desired URL via transport.read.data.url. The proxy will make a request to that URL and return the response.

    var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
        transport: {
            read: {
                url: "@Url.Action("Proxy", "Home"),
                dataType: "json",
                data: {
                    // URL to request
                    url: "https://api.github.com/search/repositories"
                }
            }
        }
    });
   

4. Pass any other parameters via transport.read.data.

    var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
        transport: {
            read: {
                url: "@Url.Action("Proxy", "Home"),
                dataType: "json",
                data: {
                    // URL to request (check http://developer.github.com/v3/search/#search-repositories)
                    url: "https://api.github.com/search/repositories"
                    // Parameter
                    q: "foo",
                    // Another parameter
                    sort: "stars"
                }
            }
        }
    });
