kendo pie & angular - tooltip & labels templates issue

kendo pie & angular -  tooltip & labels templates issue

I configured pie chart with code below 

tooltip: {
                visible: true,
                template: "#= year # - test"
            },
            labels: {
                template: "#= year # - test",
                position: "outsideEnd",
                visible: true,
                background: "transparent"
            }

part 1 - labels template commented, kendo fails to create tooltips template (Line 48)

part 2- when labels template uncommented , kendo fails completely

Any ideas?

 

THanks

Hi Lev,

In the tooltip / labels templates you could reach the original data via the dataItem. I.e. the correct configuration is:

//....
tooltip: {
      visible: true,
      template: "#= dataItem.year # - test"
},
labels: {
      template: "#= dataItem.year # - test",
      position: "outsideEnd",
      visible: true,
      background: "transparent"
}

i see this doc. where is dataItem?

[Iliana Dyankova]

Hi Lev,

You should use the dataItem field to reach the original point data. Take a look at the updated example:

i repeat.

i do not see dataitem in official documentatio

http://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/pie-charts/index

i do not quite understand why i should browse forums to get answers which should be described in API

 

thanks

Hi Lev,

As pointed in the online documentation, in series.labels.template you could directly reach category and value - in the online demo which you pointed these are respectively continents and values. In the dojo examples which you provided "year" is none of these - therefore you need to use the dataItem to reach it in the template.
