Help with conditional templating based on json data

[rich]

Hi,

I want my grid to be populated from a json,the sample data is shown below

[
    {
        "id": 1,
        "name": "name1",
        "data": {
            "control": "textbox",
            "value": 700
        }
    },
    {
        "id": 2,
        "name": "name2",
        "data": {
            "control": "checkbox",
            "value": true
        }
    }
]


so in my grid under the "data" column the view should contain a textbox for row1 and a checkbox in row2 with the respective values and also possible to update the values.

Is it possible to achieve this using kendo ui grid?Is there any examples available.for this.

Hello rich,

 

By design the DataSource does not support nested data structures. 

It is possible to display the nested fields through templates like in the provided example, but the other functionality such as grouping, filtering and sorting will not work.

 

In order to customize the UI for the cell you can use the columns.template. Please refer to the third example that shows how to access the dataItem object in the template and return string.
