Hi,

 

I am trying to create a template for grid in kendo-ui. Its formatting is conditional...as follows:

Dataset sample:

json: [{ "name" :"abc", "link":123 },{ "name" :"def", "link":null}...]

The template should be of the logic:

 

link === null ? <span>name</span> : <a target="_blank" href="http://mywebsite/name">#=name#</a>

i.e. conditionally make the text hyperlinked v/s display it as is ("abc" should be displayed with a hyperlink while "def" should not have a hyperlink).
I am able to get the unconditional way of template working with always make the text as hyperlink as follows:
var nameTemplate = '<a target="_blank" href="http://mywebsite/#=name#">#=name#</a>';

But cannot get the template with the above ternary operator logic to work

Thoughts?
Thanks

Hello Labhesh,

I would suggest to use a standard if condition in the template, as it will make it more readable. Here is an example that demonstrates the approach.
