Kendo UI by Telerik is a comprehensive suite of JavaScript UI components designed to accelerate web application development. Offering pre-built, customizable elements for grids, charts, schedulers, and more, it streamlines UI creation across popular frameworks like jQuery, Angular, React, and Vue. Key features include responsive design, accessibility, and high performance, enhancing user experience. Developers benefit from reduced development time, consistent UI patterns, and the ability to build feature-rich applications faster.
The Kendo UI for Angular (v18.1.0) update (part of Kendo UI 2025 Q1) introduces Adaptive Mode, enabling the ColorPicker, TabStrip, and Toolbar to dynamically adjust their rendering based on screen size, ensuring a seamless user experience across devices. This enhancement allows developers to deliver responsive and accessible interfaces without manual adjustments, as components automatically adapt to available space. The ColorPicker now presents a mobile-friendly action sheet for streamlined color selection, the TabStrip enables horizontal scrolling when tabs exceed container limits, and the Toolbar ensures tools remain accessible by intelligently managing overflow. By integrating Adaptive Mode, developers can simplify UI design, enhance usability, and improve cross-device consistency with minimal effort.
