columns.field String

The field to which the column is bound. The value of this field is displayed in the column's cells during data binding. Only columns that are bound to a field can be sortable or filterable. The field name should be a valid Javascript identifier and should contain only alphanumeric characters (or "$" or "_"), and may not start with a digit.

Example - specify the column field

<div id="grid"></div>
<script>
$("#grid").kendoGrid({
  columns: [
    // create a column bound to the "name" field
    { field: "name" },
    // create a column bound to the "age" field
    { field: "age" }
  ],
  dataSource: [ { name: "Jane", age: 30 }, { name: "John", age: 33 }]
});
</script>
