So knockout-kendo has a option called data and knockout-kendo has a property called dataSource. What's the difference between the two and how do both interact with one another/change when I specify both a data and a datasource on the kendogrid of different values

As of version 0.6.2, you can pass either the actual data, dataSource config, or an existing Kendo dataSource (kendo.data.DataSource) in for the data option.

In older versions, you would sometimes have to pass null for data and then pass in your existing dataSource in the dataSource option.

So, at this point you should be fine with just using data.

  • So you are opposed to using both? Does data also give you all of the dataSource methods that kendoUI offers for dataSource – user2202911 Mar 27 '14 at 13:16
  • Ok- I just reviewed this a bit. If you are explicitly passing an existing dataSource, then you can just use `data` like: http://jsfiddle.net/rniemeyer/wXrqz/. If you have some data items and also want to configure additional dataSource options then you can use both: http://jsfiddle.net/rniemeyer/2BxgS/ – RP Niemeyer Mar 27 '14 at 13:42
