System Requirements
This article states the system requirements you need to work with the KendoReact suite.
Operating Systems
The KendoReact suite is OS agnostic, which allows it to run seamlessly on any operation system without requiring specific adjustments.
Node.js
The KendoReact library adheres to the version compatibility rules that the React framework requires. For more detailed information about the compatible Node.js versions for each React release, check out the React documentation.
Currently, the required Node.js version is 16.0.0 or later. Alongside the Node.js installation, a supported NPM version will be installed. You can also install KendoReact components with third-party package managers such as Yarn.
For Node.js version 16.0.0 and above, use the following flag to ensure all the correct peer dependencies versions are installed in your project.
npm install --legacy-peer-depsTo check your Node.js version, run node --version in a terminal or console window.
React
KendoReact supports the latest official React version and those currently under long-term support.
We are planning to drop support for React v17 in the near future. If you need extended support for deprecated versions of React framework, please contact our support team.
Currently, the supported React versions are:
| React Version | Status | KendoReact compatible versions |
|---|---|---|
| ^19.0.0 | Active | Latest KendoReact versions |
| ^18.0.0 | Supported | All current KendoReact versions |
| ^17.0.0 | Legacy Support | KendoReact versions up to latest |
| ^16.8.2 | Legacy Support | KendoReact versions up to latest |
The KendoReact components require React v16.8.2 or higher due to dependency on React Hooks.
For more details about the actively supported releases of React, refer to the React Releases page in the official React documentation.
To check your React project version, run npm list react in a terminal or console window.
Browser Support
| Chrome | Firefox | Edge | Safari | iOS | Android |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 most recent major versions | latest | 2 most recent major versions | 2 most recent major versions | 2 most recent major versions | 2 most recent major versions |
KendoReact supports the major browsers that React supports. For more details, refer to the browser compatibility requirements in React applications.
Dropping IE 11 Support
KendoReact no longer provides support for Internet Explorer 11 since the end of 2022.
The main reason for dropping the IE 11 support is that modern React applications and build tools no longer support IE 11, and the React ecosystem has moved away from legacy browser support.
Additionally, Microsoft retired the IE 11 desktop application and ended support for certain operating systems on June 15, 2022.
