Angular Conversational UI Dependencies and Standalone Utilities
This article explores the utilities provided by the Kendo UI for Angular Conversational UI for standalone components and the required dependencies for the package.
Kendo Angular Conversational UI Utility Arrays
The concept of standalone components in Angular enables you to import only the components and directives in use.
For convenience, all related Conversational UI components and directives are logically combined into a single utility array that you can directly import in your standalone component. At the same time, you can still import individual components, directives, and pipes from the Conversational UI API.
For example, the KENDO_AIPROMPT utility array allows you to use the Kendo UI for Angular AIPrompt and all its features in your standalone component.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { KENDO_AIPROMPT } from '@progress/kendo-angular-conversational-ui';
@Component({
standalone: true,
selector: 'my-app',
imports: [KENDO_AIPROMPT ]
})The following table lists the exported utility arrays that you can import in your standalone Angular project.
| Utility Array | Includes |
|---|---|
KENDO_AIPROMPT | AIPrompt component |
KENDO_CHAT | Chat component |
KENDO_CONVERSATIONALUI | All Conversational UI components and directives |
