Installation

To initialize the Dropdowns, 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 Dropdowns package for Vue.

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

The package also exports the following wrappers for individual components:

* AutoComplete
* ComboBox
* DropDownList
* MultiColumnComboBox
* MultiSelect
  1. 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' // This will import the entire Kendo UI library
    // As an alternative, you could import only the scripts that are used by a specific widget:
    // import '@progress/kendo-ui/js/kendo.autocomplete' // Imports only the AutoComplete script and its dependencies
    // import '@progress/kendo-ui/js/kendo.combobox' // Imports only the ComboBox script and its dependencies
    // import '@progress/kendo-ui/js/kendo.dropdownlist' // Imports only the DropDownList script and its dependencies
    // import '@progress/kendo-ui/js/kendo.multiselect' // Imports only the MultiSelect script and its dependencies
    // import '@progress/kendo-ui/js/kendo.multicolumncombobox' // Imports only the MultiColumnComboBox script and its dependencies
    
    import '@progress/kendo-theme-default/dist/all.css'
    
    import { AutoComplete,
             ComboBox,
             DropDownList,
             MultiSelect,
             MultiColumnComboBox,
             MultiColumnComboBoxColumn,
             DropdownsInstaller } from '@progress/kendo-dropdowns-vue-wrapper'
    
    Vue.use(DropdownsInstaller)
    
    new Vue({
        el: '#app',
        components: {
            AutoComplete,
            ComboBox,
            DropDownList,
            MultiSelect,
            MultiColumnComboBox,
            MultiColumnComboBoxColumn
        }
    })
