# Angular Utilities Dependencies and Standalone Utilities

This article explores the utilities provided by the Kendo UI for Angular Utilities for standalone components and the required dependencies for the package.

## Kendo Angular Utilities Utility Arrays

The concept of standalone components in Angular enables you to import only the components and directives in use. For convenience, we logically combined related Utilities components and directives into a single utility array that you can directly import in your standalone component.

For example, the `KENDO_DRAGANDDROP` utility array allows you to use the Kendo UI for Angular Drag and Drop functionality and all its features in your standalone component.

```ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { KENDO_DRAGANDDROP } from '@progress/kendo-angular-utils';

@Component({
    standalone: true,
    selector: 'my-app',
    imports: [KENDO_DRAGANDDROP]
})
```

The following table lists the exported utility arrays that you can import in your standalone Angular project.

| Utility Array                                                                                                  | Includes                                                                                                                                             |

| [`KENDO_DRAGANDDROP`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/utils/api/kendo_draganddrop) | Drag and Drop components and directives                                                                                                              |
| [`KENDO_UTILS`](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui-develop/components/utils/api/kendo_utils)             | All Utilities components and directives. As of now, `KENDO_UTILS` includes only the `KENDO_DRAGANDDROP` utility array and their usage is equivalent. |

The following table lists the required dependencies that the Utils package needs to work as expected.
