datafields type:int or type:number ?

[fabricebParticipant]

Hi,

on your documentation https://www.jqwidgets.com/jquery-widgets-documentation/documentation/jqxdataadapter/jquery-data-adapter.htm,

the datashields for integers types are sometimes : type: ‘int’ , sometimes type: ‘number’ and sometimes there is no type description

e.g :
var source =
{
dataType: “xml”,
dataFields: [
{ name: ‘EmployeeID’, type: ‘number’ },
…

e.g.
var source =
{
dataType: “xml”,
dataFields: [
{ name: ‘quantity’, type: ‘int’ },

is there a subtle difference and impact in behaviour if we choose ‘number’ instead of ‘int’… and is it essential to describe the type ?

many thanx,

fabriceb

Hi fabriceb,

In the latest versions of jQWidgets we use only type of ‘number’ but if you use type of ‘int’ it won’t result in a different behavior.

Also its essential to describe the type in order some functionalities of the components to work properly.

Please, do not hesitate to contact us if you have any additional questions.
