AngularJS Support

Starting with R2 2022, the Kendo UI team officially drops the support for AngularJS 1.x through Kendo UI for jQuery. This does not impact Kendo UI for Angular (2+) suite.

To activate the AngularJS directives, install the AngularJS library. Just like jQuery, the minified format of the AngularJS library is located is in the js directory of the downloaded Kendo UI bundle.

  • Unlike their dependency on jQuery, the Kendo UI distributions can function correctly without AngularJS.
  • To use AngularJS versions 1.5.x together with Kendo UI version R1 2017 or earlier is only recommended if you use the Kendo UI k-ng-model directive because the ng-model directive does not reflect the model value.

The following table provides a list of the AngularJS versions that are compatible with the major Kendo UI releases and their corresponding service packs.
