Kendo Grid Filtering a dataSource

I have a grid bound to a simple object. There are no Ajax calls. It's all set at init.

My Object: Account with properties Name and an Array of Tag strings. Real simple.

I pass in an array of tags into this function and need the dataSource to filter the grid. How is that done?

function filterGridResults(tags) {
  var grid = $("#gridAccounts").data("kendoGrid");
  var dataSource = grid.dataSource;
  //??? filter document.Tags
}

If I understand you correctly you are binding your grid to local data. If so then this should solve your problem:

function filterGridResults(tags) {
    var grid = $("#gridAccounts").data("kendoGrid");
    var dataSource = grid.dataSource;

    var filterField = "Tag";//This is the object field you will filter by
    var filterOperator = "contains";//How you will filter
    var filterValue = tags;//What your filter value will be

    dataSource.filter(
        {
            field: filterField, 
            operator: filterOperator , 
            value: filterValue 
        });
}

Hope this answers your question!
