Can a Kendo UI Pie chart tooltip contain the series category name?

Question

I'm building a Kendo Chart in a razor view and have

 .Tooltip(tooltip => tooltip.Visible(true))

Is there any other function on the configuration action that I can use to include the series category title on the tooltip?

The documentation for Template() and Format() appear to be for JS implementations rather than razor implementations.

Answer 1

Templates

Tooltip content can be defined with a Kendo Template when more flexibility is desired. The template provides access to all information associated with the point:

• value - the point value. Value dimensions are available as properties, for example, value.x and value.y
• category - the category name.
• series - the data series.
• dataItem - the original data item (when binding to dataSource).

Answer 2

You can add in a specific template and format like so:

.Tooltip(tooltip => tooltip
    .Template("#=category# - #=value #")
    .Format("{0}%")
    .Visible(true)
)

This would give you a tooltip that looks like:

I believe that using the Template and Format helpers together may cause some conflict, but you can add a format into the template like this:

.Template("#=category# - #=kendo.format('{0}', value)#")
