I have a need to use Kendo UI for angular (any version) with a specific Angular version 2.4.7. Is there support for this? I currently am getting a message on npm install that I need at least angular 4.0.0 or greater. Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of simply upgrading my angular version.
Thanks

Hi Craig,
You can use the approach for installing versions, compatible with certain Angular version, as described in the following section of our documentation:
However, it is probably worth mentioning that we only support the Angular versions with LTS support (currently - 6, 7, and 8), and all new components, features, and fixes, are available for the latest/currently supported versions only.
The suite was in a very early stage when developing was targeting Angular v.2.x, and you will be able to use only the package versions available before Angular 4 support was introduced. You can check out all components' Change Log documentation section to get an overview of all major features, enhancements and fixes that came with each package version, e.g.:
https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/grid/changelog/
Many of the currently available features will be unavailable, an there may be multiple discrepancies between the current behavior, described in our documentation, and the one that was available in the very early versions.
I hope this helps, but we highly recommend using the latest (or at least - officially supported) versions of the Angular framework, as all of our development efforts are based on keeping up to date with the framework.

Thanks for the information. If I could follow up with one more question. Is the KendoUI for JQuery usable in Angular 2.x? Our code base is currently using KendoUI for JQuery. If that could be used with Angular 2.4.7 it might make the porting easier and end up with a more stable code base.
Thanks

Hello Craig,
The Kendo UI for jQuery widgets can be integrated in the Angular 2+ application as described in the following section of our documentation:
https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/framework/kendo-jquery/
It is worth mentioning that when using this approach, only a SASS-based theme must be installed (they are designed to style uniformly both Kendo UI for jQuery widgets and Kendo UI for Angular components), and no LESS-based theme should be present as both will most likely collide leading to undesired layout and behavior.
