AppBar Overview
The Appbar is part of Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core, a
professional grade UI library with 110+ components for building modern and feature-rich applications. To try it out sign up for a free 30-day trial.
The Telerik UI AppBar TagHelper and HtmlHelper for ASP.NET Core are server-side wrappers for the Kendo UI AppBar widget.
The AppBar component is mainly used for navigation. At the same time, it is template-driven, which makes it very flexible. To take full advantage of its functionality, you can include various Content Items in the AppBar component, for example:
- Titles
- Icons
Actions (such as redirect buttons or a search panel)
Initializing the AppBar
The following example demonstrates how to define the AppBar by using the AppBar HtmlHelper.
@(Html.Kendo().AppBar()
.Name("appbar")
)
@addTagHelper *, Kendo.Mvc
<kendo-appbar name="appbar">
</kendo-appbar>
