  • Contains:
    • Grid, Charts, Buttons, DateInputs, DropDowns, Inputs
    • Charts, gauges, and other data visualizations
    • And more!
  • Integrates with a lot of Angular core framework items
    • Angular Forms for Grid editing
  • Supports AoT Comp., Universal Rendering, and Tree Shaking
  • More Angular integration, UI widgets, and features to come
  • All handled through NPM packages

Getting Started

Set up your Angular project

Add the Kendo UI styles package

Add the Kendo UI Package of choice to your project

npm install -g @angular/cli;
ng new my-first-angular2-project --style=scss;
cd my-first-angular2-project;
npm install -S @progress/kendo-angular-buttons

// Import the ButtonsModule...
import { ButtonsModule } from '@progress/kendo-angular-buttons';
npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-default

/* In src/styles.scss */
@import "~@progress/kendo-theme-default/scss/all";

Demo Time!

Roadmap

  • Large focus on "completing" the Grid and including features that still are not available
  • Emphasis on form components including more date pickers etc.
  • Additional chart types (catching up to the jQuery edition)
  • Material theme integration
  • Other large components (TreeView, Scheduler, etc.)
