Kendo UI Mobile and AngularJS

[Walid]

We know that there is an integration effort with Kendo Angular, but considering that we’re starting to develop a new Mobile Website, it would be quite helpful to know some good & bad points between KendoUI Mobile and AngularJS:

1- Does Kendo Angular fully support latest releases of KendoUI Mobile? If we rely on KendoUI widgets and we plan to keep them updated over time (new kendo releases) we need to know if there is any kind of agreement from Kendo Angular project to keep the integration alive

2- Which are the main pros/cons between choosing with a full KendoUI Mobile solution (widgets + application) or going with an integration between KendoUI (only widgets) + AngularJS (application, binding, routing, etc)

Thanks in advance,
Walid

Hello,

Straight to your questions:

1. No, currently the angular-kendo project only supports Kendo UI Web and DataViz. Support for Kendo UI Mobile is planned though. The thing is the mobile widgets have a dependency on the Kendo Mobile application which isn't compatible with Angular. We plan to remove this coupling with our next release which should allow angular support for the Kendo UI Mobile widgets.
2. Currently you cannot build an angular application that uses the Kendo UI Mobile widgets because of the situation described above.

Is this still the case?
Kendo Mobile seems to still not play nice with Angular.
There are conflicts between angular functionality and kendo mobile.
Example:

<a href="#angularid" />
Kendo tries to use this and messes things up.

Is this still on the cards to be fixed?

Hi,

I recommend checking this github issue. Support for Kendo UI Mobile is planned after the release of Q1 2014 later this month.

I'm looking at the mobile components in Kendo UI core. Since it is now April, does this mean that Angular and Keno UI mobile can now work together. Can we get an update on this post.

Hi,

Yes, the mobile widgets can now work with AngularJS.

Hi,

Sure thing.

1 Does Kendo Angular fully support latest releases of KendoUI Mobile? If we rely on KendoUI widgets and we plan to keep them updated over time (new kendo releases) we need to know if there is any kind of agreement from Kendo Angular project to keep the integration alive

Yes, angular kendo supports the latest release of Kendo UI.

2- Which are the main pros/cons between choosing with a full KendoUI Mobile solution (widgets + application) or going with an integration between KendoUI (only widgets) + AngularJS (application, binding, routing, etc)

Can't really comment here because I am not experienced AngularJS developer. I guess people who are experienced with AngularJS would prefer to use it instead of the Kendo Mobile application. You can compare two similar applications implemented with Kendo UI only and with AngularJS + Kendo UI.
