Using the @progress/kendo-ui npm package

[Richard]

Hi, I currently have an app which is using Kendo UI by referencing the CDN hosted minified js file (https://kendo.cdn.telerik.com/2015.2.624/js/kendo.all.min.js).

I would like to incorporate kendo into my build script to only package the modules that I am using (kendoAutoComplete) into a single local js file that I can then reference in my application. I have tried building using webpack but the resultant file does not seem to work as the CDN hosted file did.

How can I compile the required modules inside the npm package into a standalone js file that I can reference as per the CDN hosted file?

Note: I do *not* want to have to modularise/rewrite my application to make it work with webpack...

Hi,

I'm using libman in Visual Studio 2017. I've read that we can use unpkg to reference npm packages. Any idea how I can refer @progess/kendo-ui

 

Thanks

Hi,

You can use unpkg, but only for projects on the public (free) npm. Since Kendo UI Professional requires a license, and credentials, it's not available on unpkg.

Libman uses cdnjs, which is similar, but still only serves public npm packages, so it's not an option.

In order to use Kendo UI Professional it with libman, you would need to have it downloaded on the file system (using npm or manual download), and then use the option to load files in libman from the file system.

Hope this is helpful.
