Local and Remote Data Binding
The TreeView provides options for binding it to local data arrays or remote data services.
For more information on binding the TreeView to different service end-points, refer to the HierarchicalDataSource documentation.
Do not use the names of the
kendo.data.Nodefields and methods (for example,children) as fields in the TreeView data.
Binding to Local Data
The following example demonstrates how to create a TreeView and bind it to a local data source.
<div id="treeView"></div>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#treeView").kendoTreeView({
dataSource: [
{
text: "Item 1",
items: [
{ text: "Item 1.1" },
{ text: "Item 1.2" }
]
},
{ text: "Item 2" }
]
})
});
</script>
Binding to Remote Data
The following example demonstrates how to create a TreeView and bind it to a remote HierarchicalDataSource.
$("#treeView").kendoTreeView({
dataSource: {
transport: {
read: {
url: "https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-ui/service/Employees",
dataType: "json"
}
},
schema: {
model: {
id: "EmployeeId",
hasChildren: "HasEmployees"
}
}
}
})
