Kendo UI for Angular Conversational UI Manual Setup

The manual setup approach provides greater visibility and better control over the files and references installed in your Angular application.

If you already followed the installation steps in the Getting Started page, you can skip the manual setup approach demonstrated in this article.

You can install the required peer dependencies and a Kendo UI theme by running separate commands for each step and import the desired Conversational UI components and directives in your standalone component.

  1. Install the Conversational UI package together with its dependencies by running the following command:

    sh
    npm install --save @progress/kendo-angular-conversational-ui @progress/kendo-angular-common @progress/kendo-angular-buttons @progress/kendo-angular-icons @progress/kendo-angular-inputs @progress/kendo-angular-layout @progress/kendo-angular-popup @progress/kendo-licensing @progress/kendo-angular-icons
  2. Import the required components and directives:

    • To add all components from the Conversational UI package, import the KENDO_CONVERSATIONALUI utility array in your standalone component.

      ts
      import { Component } from '@angular/core';
      import { KENDO_CONVERSATIONALUI } from '@progress/kendo-angular-conversational-ui';
      
      @Component({
          standalone: true,
          selector: 'my-app',
          imports: [KENDO_CONVERSATIONALUI]
      })
    • To add individual Conversational UI components, import the corresponding utility arrays in your standalone component. See the list of available utility arrays.

      For example if you only need the AIPrompt component, import KENDO_AIPROMPT.

      ts
      import { Component } from '@angular/core';
      import { KENDO_AIPROMPT } from '@progress/kendo-angular-conversational-ui';
      
      @Component({
          standalone: true,
          selector: 'my-app',
          imports: [KENDO_AIPROMPT]
      })
  3. The next step is to style the components by installing one of the available Kendo UI themes.

    3.1 To start using a theme, install its package through NPM.

    • Default theme

      sh
      npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-default
    • Bootstrap theme

      sh
      npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-bootstrap
    • Material theme

      sh
      npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-material
    • Fluent theme

      sh
      npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-fluent

    3.2 After the theme package is installed, reference it in your project. You can include a Kendo UI theme in your project in one of the following ways:
