Specifying the "items" element name

[Andre Perusse]

For the TreeView control, is it possible to have a data structure where the sub-items belong to an element other than one called "items"? For example, if I have the following structure:

$("#treeView").kendoTreeView({

     dataSource: [ { category: "A", nodes: [{name:"Node 1"}, {name:"Node 2"}]} ]

});

I know I can use a template for the "category" element at the top level, but I'm not sure how I can specify that the sub-items are in the "nodes" element.

<script id="treeview-template" type="text/kendo-ui-template">

    # if (item.category) { #

    #= item.category #

    # } #

   // How do I now tell it to render the "nodes" element as children to the category element?

</script>

Hello Andre,

This is currently not supported. The JSON should contain "items". This will be addressed once we have a true hierarchical DataSource and the treeview binds to it.
