How I can use column template from client side to show anchor tag with my another column value

[Hasibul]

I am new on Kendo UI.
I am using Kendo Grid from Client Side. I am also bound data from Client side.
Consider following code which i have used to bind json data.

var people = [
             { firstName: "Hasibul", lastName: "Haque", email: "[e-mail]" }
       ];

       $('#grid').kendoGrid({
           scrollable: true,
           sortable: true,
           pageable: true,
           selectable: "row",
           filterable: true

         , dataSource: { data: people, pageSize: 10 }
         , columns:
             [
               { field: "firstName", title: "First Name" }
             , { field: "lastName", title: "Last Name" }
             , { field: "email", title: "email" }
             , {
                 field: "action", title: "Action",
                 template: "I want to put action linke here by using field value(firstName)"
               }
             ]


       });

I just want to show another column called action column. From where user can do perform another action. In my action link i want to show First name. How i can do that?
I can populate action column from server side but now i want to do everything from client side.
If i consider server side

column.Template(c => @Html.ActionLink(c.Description, "foo", new { id = c.prop, })

I want something similar on client side.

Hope you will help me.

Hello Hasibul,


To specify an action column with a link, you could use the following syntax.
E.g.

{
   title: "Action",
   template: "<a href='/foo?firstName=#=firstName#'>#=firstName#</a>"
}

Additional information about Kendo Templates can be found in the Demos and in the Documentation.

Thanks for making replay.
How i can get specific row data.
Here i am putting 
<a href='/foo?firstName=#=firstName#'>#=firstName#</a>

but it shows #=firstName# on display. How i can assign value ?
Hope you people will help me...

Hello Hasibul,

With #=firstName# I am referencing the value of the firstName property of the current item. Take a look at the following JS Bin Example which demonstrates this. Please let me know if this was the information, that you were looking for.
