Tree data structure

[mark]

What I understand is that the tree data has to ordered before hands in order to show in as a hierarchy. Is that correct? The reason I am asking is because other products can accept unordered data but parent-child ids.

Thanks

Hello Mark,

The TreeView offers an out-of-the-box solution for local flat data through the kendoTreeViewFlatDataBinding directive. Here's an example. Note that you need to specify the idField and the parentIdField properties for the directive to know which items are related.

Alternatively, you can filter the items yourself. To do so, you will have to implement the children and hasChildren callbacks of the TreeView. Also, the nodes property will have to point to a filtered collection that includes only those data items that should be rendered as root nodes. Here's the article from our docs on data binding and here's an example.

Let me know if further information on the topic is required.
