Templates

The AutoComplete provides templates which enable you to customize the content of its suggestion list items and elements.

Item Template

To customize the content of the suggestion list items, use the item template. To define an item template, nest an <ng-template> tag with the kendoAutoCompleteItemTemplate directive inside a <kendo-autocomplete> tag.

Use the let-dataItem directive to access the template context that is established based on the current data item displayed in the component list.
