Correct way to data-bind="click: someFun" in nested kendo template.

[Karan]

Hello Team, 

I have a following scenario.

<script id="OuterTemplate" type="text/x-kendo-template">

# for (var i = 0; i < data.length; i++) { #     

<a href="\\#'" data-bind="click: onOuterLinkClick" data-index="#: i #">#: data[i].displayText #</a>

#}#

     #= renderMyTemp(data[i].innerLinks) #

</script>

<script id="InnerTemplate" type="text/x-kendo-template">

# for (var j = 0; j < data.length; j++) { #

    <a href="\\#" data-bind="click: onInnerLinkClick"
       data-index="#: j #">#: data[j].displayText #</a>
    # } #

</script>

<script type="text/javascript" >
    function renderMyTemp(data) {
        return kendo.Template.compile($('#InnerTemplate').html())(data);
    }
</script>

 

And my data which is getting passed to OuterTemplate, looks like following:

var data = [
  {
    "displayText" : "outer link abc",
    "onOuterLinkClick" : () => {},
    "innerLinks" : [
        {
          "displayText" : "inner link abc1",
          "onInnerLinkClick" : () => {}      
        },
        {
          "displayText" : "inner link abc2",
          "onInnerLinkClick" : () => {}
        }
      ]
  },
  {
    "displayText" : "outer link def",
    "onOuterLinkClick" : () => {},
    "innerLinks" : [
        {
          "displayText" : "inner link def1",
          "onInnerLinkClick" : () => {}      
        },
        {
          "displayText" : "inner link def2",
          "onInnerLinkClick" : () => {}
        }
      ]
  }

]

I pass the data as follows: 

var template = kendo.template($('#OuterTemplate').html());

template(data);

 

Question : In above code, inside outerTemplate, onOuterLinkClick binding is working properly. But inside InnerTemplate, onInnerLinkClick binding is not working. can you please tell me, what's the correct way to do it?

Thanks & Rergards
