BEDFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Progress (NASDAQ: PRGS) today announced that Progress® Kendo UI®, the most complete UI library for data-rich web applications, now includes support for React and Vue, adding to its existing support for jQuery and Angular. The new release gives developers the flexibility to select the framework of their choice and move between them freely, all while relying on the robust UI components available in Kendo UI.
The popularity of JavaScript has led to an expanding ecosystem of technologies, frameworks, and libraries. While Facebook’s React has quickly become the fastest growing JavaScript framework, Vue has also gained popularity for its frontend flexibility. However, even though adoption is growing rapidly, most UI component providers offer limited support for these modern framework technologies, forcing developers to change providers. This results in large amounts of work, expense and time lost to replace and ramp up on new libraries.
Expanding upon its vast UI component library, Kendo UI now enables developers to use React or Vue – without having to change component UI products or purchase a new component library. Web developers can continue to deliver rich, responsive, immersive experiences that are fast, responsive, stable and maintainable.
“As JavaScript frameworks continue to evolve at a break-neck speed, frontend developers need best-in-class tools that can keep pace and ease the development process,” said Faris Sweis, SVP and GM, Developer Tooling, Progress. “Kendo UI has always provided a stable, reliable, feature-complete toolkit that enables developers to be more productive and build beautiful apps quickly. As developer frameworks evolve, so will we.”
Kendo UI for Angular Enhancements
In response to customer
feedback, Kendo UI continues to enhance its support for Angular with new
features, including a TimePicker component, enhanced calendar and
Bootstrap v4-compatible Sass theme. Kendo UI tightly integrates with
Angular, empowering developers to build next-generation UIs that live up
to any modern website design requirement, including native and
responsive Angular web applications. Using Kendo UI’s native Angular
components enables developers to take advantage of the Angular
framework’s native performance capabilities such as Ahead of Time
Compilation (AOT), Angular Universal Rendering, and Tree Shaking.
Additional Kendo UI Enhancements
In addition to support for
React and Vue, Kendo UI now includes expanded Sass Theme Builder
support, making it even easier to seamlessly integrate Kendo UI
components with other themes. Progress has also enhanced existing Kendo
UI grid and scheduler controls with features that include:
- Grid CRUD operations with virtual scrolling
- Grid infinite scrolling compatible with grouping, hierarchy and editing
- Scheduler timeline view support for multi-day events
