Dropdowns Overview

The Dropdowns allow you to choose from a predefined list of options.

Basic Usage

The following example demonstrates how to initialize the AutoComplete, ComboBox, DropDownList, MultiColumnComboBox, and MultiSelect.

Installation

To initialize the Dropdowns, either:

• Use the CDN service, or
• Use Webpack.

Initializing with Webpack

1. Install Kendo UI and add a theme.

   Copy Codenpm install --save @progress/kendo-ui
   npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-default

2. Install the Kendo UI Dropdowns package for Vue.

   Copy Codenpm install --save @progress/kendo-dropdowns-vue-wrapper

The package also exports the following wrappers for individual components:

Copy Code* AutoComplete
* ComboBox
* DropDownList
* MultiColumnComboBox
* MultiSelect

1. Import the Kendo UI packages to the App component. If you use the Kendo UI components more than once in your application, add all Kendo UI-related files to the main.js file. If you use the Kendo UI components once in your application, add the Kendo UI-related files the component where they will be referred.

   Copy Codeimport '@progress/kendo-ui' // This will import the entire Kendo UI library
   // As an alternative, you could import only the scripts that are used by a specific widget:
   // import '@progress/kendo-ui/js/kendo.autocomplete' // Imports only the AutoComplete script and its dependencies
   // import '@progress/kendo-ui/js/kendo.combobox' // Imports only the ComboBox script and its dependencies
   // import '@progress/kendo-ui/js/kendo.dropdownlist' // Imports only the DropDownList script and its dependencies
   // import '@progress/kendo-ui/js/kendo.multiselect' // Imports only the MultiSelect script and its dependencies
   // import '@progress/kendo-ui/js/kendo.multicolumncombobox' // Imports only the MultiColumnComboBox script and its dependencies
   
   import '@progress/kendo-theme-default/dist/all.css'
   
   import { AutoComplete,
            ComboBox,
            DropDownList,
            MultiSelect,
            MultiColumnComboBox,
            MultiColumnComboBoxColumn,
            DropdownsInstaller } from '@progress/kendo-dropdowns-vue-wrapper'
   
   Vue.use(DropdownsInstaller)
   
   new Vue({
       el: '#app',
       components: {
           AutoComplete,
           ComboBox,
           DropDownList,
           MultiSelect,
           MultiColumnComboBox,
           MultiColumnComboBoxColumn
       }
   })
