templates

Description of the problem

Aurelia's templating syntax is different from Kendo's own templating syntax. When we pass Aurelia templates to a Kendo control, Kendo will try and parse that template as if it's a Kendo template, causing in errors: http://dojo.telerik.com/oNOGe

Cause

Kendo's own templating system is always active

Solution

A property that we can set while initializing widgets, or a property on the kendo global that disables Kendo's own templating system entirely. Currently we pass templates as function callbacks (template: () => '${myAureliaTemplate') to the Kendo controls which disables Kendo's templating system for that one specific template. This is something Telerik built in for Handlebars support, but it feels like a hack.

It also prevents users from serializing the grid to JSON since functions are not serializable.
