kendo.data.DataSource in Node.js

[Chris]

I've been using the Kendo DataSource for a while now on the browser side, so I've gotten used to all of its great features.  I want to use it on the server side in a Node.js app.  Is this even possible?

I installed kendo-ui-core because I don't care about any of the other pro features, just the DataSource.

npm install --save kendo-ui-core

 

when I do

var kendo = require("kendo-ui-core");

I get a "ReferenceError: window is not defined" which leads me to believe that it's not possible since it's trying to use the window object which is not available in Node.

Hello Chris,

You can have a look at this official repository, which shows the currently available ways of using the Kendo UI Core npm package. You will notice that in the main.js file you have to also require jQuery.

You can find additional information about the installation procedure in this article. 

I hope this helps. In case you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
