Complex properties

[andyci]

Hi,

Any possibility this can be used to bind complex properties such as contact.Address? I can see that all the properties are pulled from the breeze meta data model but this doesn't include expanded complex properties.

Could you perhaps point me in the right direction as I'm happy to implement this myself

I've been working on that myself, at least for 1 level down and will post that change as well in my fork of the code.

That would be great, thanks!

Something to keep in mind (not sure if this changed) is that originally the kendo DataSource schema didn't have support for complex properties. This means that while it would be part of the data, you wouldn't be able to auto-generate filters or data types based on those fields...

It might be possible to flatten the data as it comes in, using an underscore in place of a period, but that causes issues with filters. This however might be able to be alleviated with the use of the parameterMap function... though that gets complicated.
