Add way to update data on demand and allow partial load of items.

[Kalyse]

At the moment when you specify a source string, it loads everything.
The only way to update the data object is by reloading the entire page.

It would be extremely useful if you could clear the data and allow a re-fetch from the source URL.

If you could provide a custom "query" object that gets mixed in with the Gantt "page" id that would also be useful.

For example, you might want to request page 4, and you also might want to only show items that are marked with a specific label...

GET /resources/gannt?page=1&label=foo&cleared=0

I'd imagine you would achieve this by passing a callback function when you initialize that returns an object and is mixed in.

Thoughts?

Thanks for the suggestion! This is definitely on the roadmap. (I think it may also be the gist of @FatGuyLaughing's issue #105.)

I like the generic way this is proposed, i.e., url and params as separate things passed to the $.get call. This can probably be done pretty cleanly with a trigger and a callback that expects the parameters, then reloads the source from the original url. It's on the list!

@usmonster has this been implemented yet?

@jrdnhannah Not yet, though pull requests are welcome! Certain bugs are more likely to be fixed before enhancements like this are implemented. In the meantime I should probably make a prioritized list of issues (probably using milestones)..
