The rowTemplate has an option to customise the look and behavior of the treegrid rows. The rowTemplate property accepts either the template string or HTML element ID.

index.js
index.html
var treegrid = new ej.treegrid.TreeGrid({
            dataSource: textdata,
            childMapping: "Children",
            treeColumnIndex: 0,
            rowTemplate: '#rowtemplate',
            height: 250,
            width: 'auto',
            rowHeight: 83,
            columns: [
                { field: "EmpID", headerText: "Employee ID", width: "150" },
                { field: "Name", headerText: "Employee Name", width: '150' },
                { field: "Address", headerText: "Employee Details", width: "350" }
            ]
        });
        treegrid.appendTo('#TreeGrid');

The rowTemplate property accepts only the TR element.

Row template with formatting

If the rowTemplate is used, the value cannot be formatted inside the template using the columns.format property. In that case, a function should be defined globally to format the value and invoke it inside the template.

index.js
index.html
var instance = new ej.base.Internationalization();
    window.format = function (value) {
        return instance.formatDate(value, { skeleton: 'yMd', type: 'date' });
    };
    var treegrid = new ej.treegrid.TreeGrid({
        dataSource: textdata,
        childMapping: 'Children',
        treeColumnIndex: 0,
        rowTemplate: '#rowtemplate',
        height: 250,
        width: 'auto',
        rowHeight: 83,
        columns: [
            { field: 'EmpID', headerText: 'Employee ID', width: '150' },
            { field: 'Address', headerText: 'Employee Details', width: '350' },
            { field: 'DOB', headerText: 'DOB', width: '150' }
        ]
    });
    treegrid.appendTo('#TreeGrid');
