hasChildren mapping to custom field

[Bojan]

I'm unable to map hasChildren model property to a custom field (in my case, I'm calling Web API method that returns array of custom objects, each having HasChildren set to true/false). I have tried:

hasChildren: "HasChildren"

but it does not work in 2015.2.624 version of Kendo UI. However, this does work for HierarchicalDataSource (TreeView).

This DOES work (I consider this a work-around for now):

1) Setting the name of the property in my C# code to hasChildren (lowercase H)

Is this a known issue?

Hello Bojan,

 

Indeed currently the TreeListDataSource expects hasChildren. The only way you could project HasChildren to hasChildren is to define such field in the model:

 

fields: {
 id: { type: "number" },
 parentId: { type: "number", defaultValue: 0 },
 hasChildren: { type: "boolean", field: "HasChildren" }
}
