How to access column name from column template?

[Cosmin]

Hello,

I have the following issue:

My data for a row looks like this (simplified):

{ Name: 'name', Statuses: [ {Name: 'StatusA', Value: 'ValueA'} , {Name:'StatusB', Value: 'ValueB'}] }

So on each row data I have a list of name-value collection for statuses.
I have a number of columns (one for each status) named with the status name: StatusA, StatusB, etc.

In the column template I want to put the value of the status depending on the column name.
I can access data.Statuses in the template and get the status values, but the template is not aware for which column is being rendered.

Is there any way to access the column name in the template or send it as a parameter?

Any help is appreciated!

Hello Cosmin,

You can use jQuery.proxy to inject context for the function generated by kendo.template and access that additional data inside the template through this.

See the following fiddle for more details: http://jsfiddle.net/hG6zR/

Do you know how can I achieve something like this in Angular Widget, See the example at http://dojo.telerik.com/uVAbu/2, In the below code block see the "template" and I would like to access the column object within {{ myHelper(dataItem.FirstName) }}

columns: [{
               field: "FirstName",
               title: "First Name",
             template: "this is template <span>{{ myHelper(dataItem.FirstName) }}</span>",
               width: "120px"
               }

Hello ketul,

There isn't exact analogue for Angular. One way to go is to pass column index in the helper function. See example for it - http://dojo.telerik.com/@rusev/okiLO

Thanks Nioklay, I think that works as, based on the index I can access the column object.
