Getting Started with the KendoReact Indicators

This guide provides essential information about using the KendoReact Indicators package—you will learn how to install the package and add a free Indicator component to your project. The steps demonstrated in this guide are applicable to all KendoReact Indicators.

After completing this guide, you will have a free React Loader up and running.

Before You Begin

sh

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react

This guide requires that you have basic knowledge of React and TypeScript, and that you have already created a blank React project.

You can speed up the development of your KendoReact application with the Kendo UI Template Wizard for Visual Studio Code.

Install the Components

sh

npm i @progress/kendo-react-indicators

Run these commands in the root of your React project to install the KendoReact Indicators package and its dependencies, and the Kendo UI Default theme.

Import the Components

tsx

import { Loader } from '@progress/kendo-react-indicators';
import '@progress/kendo-theme-default/dist/all.css';

Place the import statements in the App component file (for example: src/App.tsx) for your project. Note that the steps for installing and importing all Indicators components are identical.

Use the Components

1. After installing the Indicators package and importing the components, add the Loader tag to the App component file of your React project (for example, src/App.tsx).

   tsx

   <Loader />

2. Build and run the application by typing the following command in the root folder of your project:

   sh

   npm run dev

3. Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the KendoReact Loader component on the page.

Style the Components

Are you looking for guidance around how to create visually appealing and consistent user interfaces with Telerik UI components? Check out the Progress Design System.

To use the built-in styling of the components start by installing a theme:

sh

npm i @progress/kendo-theme-default

With the import "@progress/kendo-theme-default/dist/all.css"; statement present in your code, you already have professionally designed styling applied to your app out-of-box. You can also try any of the other available Kendo UI Themes.

Additionally, the Indicators provide built-in appearance properties which let you control the size of the component. Try to play around with the appearance of your Loader.

tsx

<Loader size="large" />

Next Steps

Now try to add another component from the Indicators package yourself. The procedures for installing, importing, and using the Indicators components are identical for all components in the package.

The Indicators package provides the following components:

• Badge
• Loader
• Skeleton
