- fetch: function(/* Object */ keywordArgs){

- // The format and expectations of stores is that they operate in a generally asynchronous
- // manner, therefore callbacks are always used to return items located by the fetch parameters.
- //
- // description:
- // A Request object will always be returned and is returned immediately.
- // The basic request is nothing more than the keyword args passed to fetch and
- // an additional function attached, abort(). The returned request object may then be used
- // to cancel a fetch. All data items returns are passed through the callbacks defined in the
- // fetch parameters and are not present on the 'request' object.
- //
- // This does not mean that custom stores can not add methods and properties to the request object
- // returned, only that the API does not require it. For more info about the Request API,
- // see dojo.data.api.Request
- //
- // keywordArgs:
- // The keywordArgs parameter may either be an instance of
- // conforming to dojo.data.api.Request or may be a simple anonymous object
- // that may contain any of the following:
- // {
- // query: query-object or query-string,
- // queryOptions: object,
- // onBegin: Function,
- // onItem: Function,
- // onComplete: Function,
- // onError: Function,
- // scope: object,
- // start: int
- // count: int
- // sort: array
- // }
- // All implementations should accept keywordArgs objects with any of
- // the 9 standard properties: query, onBegin, onItem, onComplete, onError
- // scope, sort, start, and count. Some implementations may accept additional
- // properties in the keywordArgs object as valid parameters, such as
- // {includeOutliers:true}.
- //
- // The *query* parameter.
- // The query may be optional in some data store implementations.
- // The dojo.data.api.Read API does not specify the syntax or semantics
- // of the query itself -- each different data store implementation
- // may have its own notion of what a query should look like.
- // However, as of dojo 0.9, 1.0, and 1.1, all the provided datastores in dojo.data
- // and dojox.data support an object structure query, where the object is a set of
- // name/value parameters such as { attrFoo: valueBar, attrFoo1: valueBar1}. Most of the
- // dijit widgets, such as ComboBox assume this to be the case when working with a datastore
- // when they dynamically update the query. Therefore, for maximum compatibility with dijit
- // widgets the recommended query parameter is a key/value object. That does not mean that the
- // the datastore may not take alternative query forms, such as a simple string, a Date, a number,
- // or a mix of such. Ultimately, The dojo.data.api.Read API is agnostic about what the query
- // format.
- // Further note: In general for query objects that accept strings as attribute
- // value matches, the store should also support basic filtering capability, such as *
- // (match any character) and ? (match single character). An example query that is a query object
- // would be like: { attrFoo: "value*"}. Which generally means match all items where they have
- // an attribute named attrFoo, with a value that starts with 'value'.
- //
- // The *queryOptions* parameter
- // The queryOptions parameter is an optional parameter used to specify optiosn that may modify
- // the query in some fashion, such as doing a case insensitive search, or doing a deep search
- // where all items in a hierarchical representation of data are scanned instead of just the root
- // items. It currently defines two options that all datastores should attempt to honor if possible:
- // {
- // ignoreCase: boolean, //Whether or not the query should match case sensitively or not. Default behaviour is false.
- // deep: boolean //Whether or not a fetch should do a deep search of items and all child
- // //items instead of just root-level items in a datastore. Default is false.
- // }
- //
- // The *onBegin* parameter.
- // function(size, request);
- // If an onBegin callback function is provided, the callback function
- // will be called just once, before the first onItem callback is called.
- // The onBegin callback function will be passed two arguments, the
- // the total number of items identified and the Request object. If the total number is
- // unknown, then size will be -1. Note that size is not necessarily the size of the
- // collection of items returned from the query, as the request may have specified to return only a
- // subset of the total set of items through the use of the start and count parameters.
- //
- // The *onItem* parameter.
- // function(item, request);
- // If an onItem callback function is provided, the callback function
- // will be called as each item in the result is received. The callback
- // function will be passed two arguments: the item itself, and the
- // Request object.
- //
- // The *onComplete* parameter.
- // function(items, request);
- //
- // If an onComplete callback function is provided, the callback function
- // will be called just once, after the last onItem callback is called.
- // Note that if the onItem callback is not present, then onComplete will be passed
- // an array containing all items which matched the query and the request object.
- // If the onItem callback is present, then onComplete is called as:
- // onComplete(null, request).
- //
- // The *onError* parameter.
- // function(errorData, request);
- // If an onError callback function is provided, the callback function
- // will be called if there is any sort of error while attempting to
- // execute the query.
- // The onError callback function will be passed two arguments:
- // an Error object and the Request object.
- //
- // The *scope* parameter.
- // If a scope object is provided, all of the callback functions (onItem,
- // onComplete, onError, etc) will be invoked in the context of the scope
- // object. In the body of the callback function, the value of the "this"
- // keyword will be the scope object. If no scope object is provided,
- // the callback functions will be called in the context of dojo.global().
- // For example, onItem.call(scope, item, request) vs.
- // onItem.call(dojo.global(), item, request)
- //
- // The *start* parameter.
- // If a start parameter is specified, this is a indication to the datastore to
- // only start returning items once the start number of items have been located and
- // skipped. When this parameter is paired withh 'count', the store should be able
- // to page across queries with millions of hits by only returning subsets of the
- // hits for each query
- //
- // The *count* parameter.
- // If a count parameter is specified, this is a indication to the datastore to
- // only return up to that many items. This allows a fetch call that may have
- // millions of item matches to be paired down to something reasonable.
- //
- // The *sort* parameter.
- // If a sort parameter is specified, this is a indication to the datastore to
- // sort the items in some manner before returning the items. The array is an array of
- // javascript objects that must conform to the following format to be applied to the
- // fetching of items:
- // {
- // attribute: attribute || attribute-name-string,
- // descending: true|false; // Optional. Default is false.
- // }
- // Note that when comparing attributes, if an item contains no value for the attribute
- // (undefined), then it the default ascending sort logic should push it to the bottom
- // of the list. In the descending order case, it such items should appear at the top of the list.
- //
- // returns:
- // The fetch() method will return a javascript object conforming to the API
- // defined in dojo.data.api.Request. In general, it will be the keywordArgs
- // object returned with the required functions in Request.js attached.
- // Its general purpose is to provide a convenient way for a caller to abort an
- // ongoing fetch.
- //
- // The Request object may also have additional properties when it is returned
- // such as request.store property, which is a pointer to the datastore object that
- // fetch() is a method of.
- //
- // exceptions:
- // Throws an exception if the query is not valid, or if the query
- // is required but was not supplied.
- //
- // example:
- // Fetch all books identified by the query and call 'showBooks' when complete
- // | var request = store.fetch({query:"all books", onComplete: showBooks});
- // example:
- // Fetch all items in the story and call 'showEverything' when complete.
- // | var request = store.fetch(onComplete: showEverything);

- // This demonstrates how paging can be done for specific queries.
