[Solved] Concat String in Template

[Oliver]

Hi There

Im using a Kendo Grid and want to show a joined array of strings.

# (ArrayOfStringsObject =! null) ? ArrayOfStringsObject.join() : SHOW "none" # <-- How can i show simple text in a template? 

Thanks

Hello Oliver,

If we use the Kendo UI template expressions demo as a starting point, you have three options:

1. Return the desired output directly as plain HTML

2. Return the desired output as a string instead of returning a data field value

<script id="javascriptTemplate" type="text/x-kendo-template">
    <ul>
        # for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) { #
            # if (data[i] != "Second") { #
                <li>#= data[i] #</li>
            # } else { #
                <li> 1234567 #= "random string" # </li>
            # } #
        # } #
    </ul>
</script>

3. Create a new variable with the desired value and output it in the same way as a data field value:

<script id="javascriptTemplate" type="text/x-kendo-template">
    # var myArray = ([1, 2, 3]).join("") #
    #= myArray #
</script>
