                { text: 'Insert between', icon: 'insert-middle' },
                { text: 'Insert below', icon: 'insert-down' }]">

            <kendo-toolbar-item type="separator"></kendo-toolbar-item>
            <kendo-toolbar-item type="buttonGroup" :buttons="[
                { icon: 'align-left', text: 'Left', togglable: true, group: 'text-align' },
                { icon: 'align-center', text: 'Center', togglable: true, group: 'text-align' },
                { icon: 'align-right', text: 'Right', togglable: true, group: 'text-align' }]">

            <kendo-toolbar-item type="button" text="Action" overflow="always"></kendo-toolbar-item>
            <kendo-toolbar-item type="button" text="Another Action" overflow="always"></kendo-toolbar-item>
            <kendo-toolbar-item type="button" text="Something else here" overflow="always"></kendo-toolbar-item>
        </kendo-toolbar>
    </div>
</div>
Vue.use(ButtonsInstaller);

new Vue({
    el: "#vueapp",
    methods: {
        onButtonClick: function (ev) {
            console.log("Button clicked!");
        }
    }
})

Installation

To initialize the Buttons, either:

Initializing with Webpack

  1. Install Kendo UI and add a theme.

    npm install --save @progress/kendo-ui
npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-default

  2. Install the Kendo UI Buttons package for Vue.

    npm install --save @progress/kendo-buttons-vue-wrapper

    The package also exports the following wrappers for individual components:

    • Button
    • ButtonGroup
    • ToolBar

  3. Import the Kendo UI packages to the App component. If you use the Kendo UI components more than once in your application, add all Kendo UI-related files to the main.js file. If you use the Kendo UI components once in your application, add the Kendo UI-related files the component where they will be referred.

    import '@progress/kendo-ui'
import '@progress/kendo-theme-default/dist/all.css'

import { Button,
        ButtonGroup,
        ButtonGroupButton,
        ToolBar,
        ToolBarItem,
        ButtonsInstaller } from '@progress/kendo-buttons-vue-wrapper'

Vue.use(ButtonsInstaller)

new Vue({
   el: '#app',
   components: {
       Button,
       ButtonGroup,
       ButtonGroupButton,
       ToolBar,
       ToolBarItem
   }
})
