Our team has been using the Kendo UI for jQuery for some time and are now looking at Angular.  With the release of Angular 6 I see mentions of the Material component library everywhere.  So I'm wondering how the Kendo UI for Angular library relates to Angular Material.  Are these separate component libraries? 

So do I understand correctly, that if using the Kendo UI for Angular library, I can still use a Material theme, but the Material components themselves are different animals, and that the Kendo components are custom Angular components and dont simply wrap the Material components?

Hi BitShift,

Kendo Ui for Angular provides native Angular components built from the ground up. We also provide three styling themes, one of which is the Material theme, as demonstrated in the following article:
https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/styling/

I hope this helps. Let me know in case more information is required for this case.

Try our brand new, jQuery-free Angular components built from ground-up which deliver the business app essential building blocks - a grid component, data visualization (charts) and form elements.

Thanks, I was confused after reviewing Angular material and seeing it referenced in the Keno material.  We are going with Kendo components, if for no other reason than the grid. So Material is a separate component library managed by the Angular team.  Apples and oranges.
