Local Binding
You can bind the OrgChart to local data by using its API.
Binding to a Local JSON Array
The following example demonstrates how to bind the OrgChart to a JSON array available on the client.
@(Html.Kendo().OrgChart<Kendo.Mvc.Examples.Models.OrgChartEmployeeViewModel>()
.Name("orgchart")
)
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
var employees = [
{
"ID": 1,
"Name": "Daryl Sweeney",
"Position": "CEO",
},
{
"ID": 2,
"ParentID": 1,
"Name": "Guy Wooten",
"Position": "Chief Technical Officer",
},
{
"ID": 3,
"ParentID": 1,
"Name": "Priscilla Frank",
"Position": "Chief Product Officer",
},
{
"ID": 4,
"ParentID": 3,
"Name": "Ursula Holmes",
"Position": "EVP, Product Strategy",
},
{
"ID": 5,
"ParentID": 1,
"Name": "Anika Vega",
"Position": "Chief Process Officer",
}
];
var orgchart = $("#orgchart").data("kendoOrgChart");
var dataSource = new kendo.data.OrgChartDataSource({
data: employees,
schema: {
model: {
id: "ID",
parentId: "ParentID",
expanded: true,
fields: {
Id: { type: "number", editable: false, nullable: false },
title: { field: "Position", nullable: true },
name: { field: "Name" }
}
}
}
});
orgchart.setDataSource(dataSource);
});
</script>
