[Demo Source](https://demos.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui/buttons/overview/source.txt)

## Installation

To initialize the Buttons, either:

* [Use the CDN service](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/buttons#using-cdn), or
* [Use Webpack](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/buttons#initializing-with-webpack).

### Using CDN

To use the Kendo UI for Vue Buttons with CDN, follow the below steps:

1. Reference the `buttons` package.

```sh
  <script src="https://unpkg.com/@progress/kendo-vue-buttons@latest/dist/cdn/js/kendo-vue-buttons.js"></script>
```

2. Reference one of the Kendo UI themes to style your components.

```sh
    // Load the Kendo Meridian Theme
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@progress/kendo-theme-meridian@latest/dist/all.css">

    // Load the Kendo Bootstrap Theme
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/@progress/kendo-theme-bootstrap@latest/dist/all.css">
    <link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.3.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">

3. Follow the instructions in [this article](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/my-license#installing-or-updating-the-license-key) to activate your product license. You can skip this step if your application already contains a license key.

### Initializing with Webpack

1. Download and install the package. Use Node.js v5.0.0 or later.

   ```sh
   npm install --save @progress/kendo-vue-buttons @progress/kendo-licensing
   ```

2. Once installed, import the package module.

   ```jsx
   // ES2015 module syntax
   import { Button, ButtonGroup, Chip, ChipList, DropDownButton, FloatingActionButton, SegmentedControl, SmartPasteButton, SplitButton, Toolbar } from '@progress/kendo-vue-buttons';
   ```

   ```jsx
   // CommonJS format
   const { Button, ButtonGroup, Chip, ChipList, DropDownButton, FloatingActionButton, SegmentedControl, SmartPasteButton, SplitButton, Toolbar } = require('@progress/kendo-vue-buttons');
   ```

3. You are required to install one of the Kendo UI for Vue themes to style your components. For more information on how to add the styles, refer to the article on [getting started](https://www.telerik.com/kendo-vue-ui-develop/components/getting-started/javascript-composition-api#5-import-the-kendo-ui-for-vue-css-styles).
