kendo ui data grid - firebase

Question

I'm using kendo ui data grid with a firebase (rest json response). The structure can contain multiple objects. However, these objects are not in a standard array format. See my json file below:

{
    "users": {
        "contactdetails": {
            "email": "[email protected]"
        },
        "firstname": "John",
        "id": 1,
        "surname": "Little"
    }
}

I am able to read firstname and surname onto the grids column but cannot get to the email object.

This is my schema definition:

schema: {
    model: {
        fields: {
                id: {type: "number"},
                firstname: {type: "string"},
                surname: {type: "string"},
                email: {type: "string"} 
        }

    }
}

As far I know, u can not specify nested object to schema model definition. One way is you can use column template for email column.

columns: [
    { field: "firstname", title: "FirstName" }, 
    { field: "surname", title: "Surename" },
    { title: "Email", template: "#= data.contactdetails.email #" },
],
