Getting Started with the KendoReact Dialogs

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

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-dialogs @progress/kendo-react-intl @progress/kendo-theme-default

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

Import the Components

tsx

import { Dialog, DialogActionsBar } from '@progress/kendo-react-dialogs';
import { Button } from '@progress/kendo-react-buttons';
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 Dialogs components are identical.

Usе the Components

1. After installing the Dialogs package and importing the components, add the Dialog's tags to the App component file of your React project (for example, src/App.js).

   tsx

   {
       visible && (
           <Dialog title={'Please confirm'} onClose={toggleDialog}>
               <p style={{ margin: '25px', textAlign: 'center' }}>Are you sure you want to continue?</p>
               <DialogActionsBar>
                   <button
                       className="k-button k-button-md k-rounded-md k-button-solid k-button-solid-base"
                       onClick={toggleDialog}
                   >
                       No
                   </button>
                   <button
                       className="k-button k-button-md k-rounded-md k-button-solid k-button-solid-base"
                       onClick={toggleDialog}
                   >
                       Yes
                   </button>
               </DialogActionsBar>
           </Dialog>
       );
   }

2. Create a state variable to control when the Dialog is open or closed.

   tsx

   const [visible, setVisible] = React.useState < boolean > true;

3. Add a button that will open the Dialog.

   tsx

   <Button type="button" onClick={toggleDialog} id="open-dialog">
       Open Dialog
   </Button>

4. Create a function that will toggle the Dialog visibility.

   tsx

   const toggleDialog = () => {
       setVisible(!visible);
   };

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

   sh

   npm run dev

6. Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the KendoReact Dialog 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.

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.

Next Steps

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