Bug in declarative data-row-template attribute for grid

[Adam]

I've found a bug in the latest release of Kendo UI for the grid.

Given a grid definition like:

<div data-role="grid" data-row-template="#= data.something #"></div>

Will not work correctly.  I've traced the problem to the 'parseOptions' function where it calls:

if (templateRegExp.test(option)) {

This method ALWAYS returns true because the value of 'option' is always 'rowTemplate'.  I believe the fix is to change this code to:

if (templateRegExp.test(value)) {

Which will correctly indicate if the value supplied for the 'data-row-template' attribute is an inline template, or the ID of script element that contains a template.

Please let me know when a fix is available. thanks.

Hello Adam,

data-row-template (as any data-template) attribute expects the id of the element that contains the template, not the template itself.

Here is a example for this: http://demos.kendoui.com/web/mvvm/source.html

The Grid configuration in your case must be similar to:

<div data-role="grid" data-row-template="gridRowTemplate"></div>

<script id="gridRowTemplate" type="text/x-kendo-template">
<tr> <!--you will need to handle tr and td elements too in row template -->
 <td>
   #= data.something #
  </td>
 </tr>
</script>
