Getting Started with the KendoReact Gauges
Premium

This guide provides essential information about using the KendoReact Gauges package—you will learn how to install the package, add Gauges to your project, style the components, and activate your license. The steps demonstrated in this guide are applicable to all KendoReact Gauges.

The Gauges are part of KendoReact premium, an enterprise-grade UI library with 120+ free and premium components for building polished, performant apps. Test-drive all features with a free 30-day trial.Start Free Trial

Before You Begin

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 Component

npm i @progress/kendo-react-gauges

Importing the Components

After installing the Gauges package, import the desired components in the React App. This guide shows how to add the ArcGauge.

In the App component file of your React project (for example, src/App.js), add the following code:

jsx

// ES2015 module syntax
import { ArcGauge } from '@progress/kendo-react-gauges';

jsx

// CommonJS format
const { ArcGauge } = require('@progress/kendo-react-gauges');

If your project requires more Gauges, you can import them too. The Gauges package provides the following components:

ArcGauge
CircularGauge
LinearGauge
RadialGauge

Using the Components

After installing the Gauges package and importing the components, add the ArcGauge's tags to the App component file of your React project (for example, src/App.js).
js
```
const ArcGaugeComponent = () => {
    return <ArcGauge value={30} />;
};
```
To style the ArcGauge, install and import the Default theme, which is one of the three beautiful themes for KendoReact.

2.1. Install the Default theme package.
sh
```
npm i @progress/kendo-theme-default
```
2.2. Import the CSS file from the package in src/App.js. Add this import before your existing App.css import.
jsx
```
import '@progress/kendo-theme-default/dist/all.css';
```
Build and run the application by typing the following command in the root folder of your project:
sh
```
npm start
```
Navigate to http://localhost:3000 to see the KendoReact ArcGauge component on the page.

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

Activating Your License Key

Using any of the UI components in the KendoReact library requires either a commercial license key or an active trial license key.

Follow the instructions on the KendoReact My License page to activate your trial or commercial license. You can skip this step if your application already contains a KendoReact license file.
