What is @progress/kendo-react-common?

@progress/kendo-react-common is a utility package that provides common functionalities and utilities used across various KendoReact components. It includes helper functions, constants, and other shared resources that facilitate the development of KendoReact applications.

What are @progress/kendo-react-common's main functionalities?

ClassNames Utility

The classNames utility helps in conditionally joining class names together. This is particularly useful for dynamically applying styles based on component state.

import { classNames } from '@progress/kendo-react-common';

const buttonClass = classNames('k-button', { 'k-primary': isPrimary, 'k-disabled': isDisabled });
console.log(buttonClass); // Outputs: 'k-button k-primary' or 'k-button k-disabled' based on the state

Guid Utility

The guid utility generates a unique identifier, which can be used for elements that require unique IDs, such as form elements or dynamically created components.

import { guid } from '@progress/kendo-react-common';

const uniqueId = guid();
console.log(uniqueId); // Outputs a unique GUID string

Draggable Component

The Draggable component provides drag-and-drop functionality. It can be used to make any element draggable and handle drag events.

import { Draggable } from '@progress/kendo-react-common';

const DraggableComponent = () => (
  <Draggable onDrag={(e) => console.log('Dragging', e)}>
    <div>Drag me!</div>
  </Draggable>
);
