Hello all.
I'm looking to create a bare-bones, Kendo-powered front end for a web application. The back end is already written (in MS Web API), and for deployment and infrastructure reasons, I'd like to keep the API project and the front-end project separate and distinct.
I'm looking for either a VS solution template or a guide for a minimal front end. The only KendoUI project template I see includes MVC, and is over 80MB in size with several hundred (if not thousands) of files. I'm trying to avoid bloating the solution with functionality we don't intend to use.
Is there an up-to-date resource to accomplish what I'm trying?
TIA.
John

Hi John,
If you need only Kendo UI on the front-end without the MVC wrappers than you can simply include the KendoUI scripts and styles in the target project. Such setup could be as simple as:
For more information on the matter I would suggest to check the following help articles:
Another option is to use the Kendo UI Scaffolder for Visual Studio in the project where the WebAPI controllers are held and then move the generated configuration in the new project. For more information about the scaffolder you can check the following help article:
