Referring Kendo UI internal builds from a CDN

Environment

Product Progress® Telerik® UI for UI for ASP.NET Core

Description

How can I refer Kendo UI internal builds from a CDN if the official Kendo CDN provides only official releases? I need these internal builds for my Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core project.

Solution

The internal Kendo UI builds are not uploaded to CDN because they are reserved for clients with a commercial license. Only major Kendo UI releases and service packs are available on the CDN servers.

For access to internal builds over CDN, use private CDN services. Always implement a local fallback when you use any kind of CDN. For more information, refer to Scott Hanselman's blog post Fallback from CDN to Local Scripts.

            // Checking for loaded CSS files is cumbersome.
            // Therefore, assume that if the scripts have failed, so have the stylesheets.

            // A fallback to the local Kendo UI stylesheets.
            document.write(decodeURIComponent('%3Clink rel="stylesheet" href="/path/to/local/default-main.css" %3C/%3E'));

            // Also, add kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js or kendo.timezones.min.js if needed.
