how to check checkeboxes based on a condition

[Shaun]

Hello,

I've got a treeview which is bound client side and displays checkboxes.
On page load I need to check some of them based on a condition.

element.kendoTreeView({
                        dataSource: data,
                        checkboxes: {
                            name: "checkedData",
                            template: "<input type='checkbox' name='checkedData' value='#= item.text #' />"
                        }
                    });

data is created like this :
data.push({
                    text: item.someName, checked : checked
                });

I can't add a "checked='#= item.checked#'" in the template because this will check everything regardless of what I have in item.checked - it's an html thing.
So how can I achieve this ?

Hello Stuart,

Since the template is simply an HTML string, you can add the checked attribute conditionally, like this:

"<input type='checkbox' name='foo' value='#: item.text #' #= item.checked ? 'checked' : '' # />"

Here's a live jsBin demo. Note that since you are using a checkbox template, the checkboxes.name configuration option is not needed (since it is used only by the default template).
