Loading a subset of controls

Application Developer notes

5.2 Loading a subset of controls

This section contains additional information which we hope will be of value to Aurelia application developers using KendoUI bridge.

You may often want to load only a subset of the components that KendoUI bridge provides. Instead of the requirement to load them all at the bootstrap time - controlled by the following code in main.js class:

...
.plugin('aurelia-kendoui-bridge', kendo => kendo.pro())
...

If instead, you wish to use only a subset of KendoUI components - say, kendoButton and kendoGrid, you should express that by using the following pattern;

...
.plugin('aurelia-kendoui-bridge', kendo => kendo.kendoButton().kendoGrid())
...

Special functions

.kendoTemplateSupport() - will load the <k-template> custom element necessary for custom templates in a Kendo control.

.useValueConverters(); - will load the value convertes around useful Kendo functions. This sample demonstrates these value converters.
