What are @progress/kendo-theme-default's main functionalities?

Applying Default Theme to Kendo UI Components

This code imports the default theme CSS file, which applies the default Kendo UI styling to all Kendo UI components in your application.

import '@progress/kendo-theme-default/dist/all.css';

Customizing Theme Variables

This code demonstrates how to customize the default theme by overriding SCSS variables. You can change the primary and secondary colors and then apply the custom theme using the `kendo-theme` mixin.

/* Import the default theme */
@import "~@progress/kendo-theme-default/scss/all";

/* Override variables */
$primary: #ff0000;
$secondary: #00ff00;

/* Apply the custom theme */
@include kendo-theme();

Using Theme with Angular

This code shows how to use the default theme in an Angular application. It imports the theme CSS and applies it to a Kendo UI button component.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import '@progress/kendo-theme-default/dist/all.css';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `<kendo-button>My Kendo Button</kendo-button>`
})
export class AppComponent {}

Kendo UI Default Theme

• Overview
• Basic Usage

Overview

The Kendo UI Default Theme is a SCSS-based theme for the Kendo UI components.

Currently, it is available for the following suites:

• Kendo UI for React.
• Kendo UI for Angular 2.

We are working on providing support for the Default Theme in Kendo UI jQuery suite too.

Basic Usage

For more information on how to use the Default Theme in Angular 2 and React projects, refer to its introductory topic.

Customization

To customize the Default Theme in one swoop, use the colors defined in the styles/_variables.scss file. Any change in this file is propagated to every component.

To style a specific component, use the variables used in its specific .scss file.

The theme is built by running npm run build. The dist/all.css file contains the complete theme that you can use in your project.

Development

Styles are split into components and the dependencies are managed by the import-once mixin. When configuring the styles, define them within an import-once block so that they are bundled once when required from multiple files.

During development, the SCSS files are linted on every commit and built on every push command. The theme package can be tested against a component by linking the theme in the components package.

Upon build, browser-specific properties are generated through the PostCSS autoprefixer.

When updating resources (images or fonts), run the npm run embed-assets task. This will generate a file with the same name, which registers a base64-encoded version in the $data-uris SCSS map. For example, the font file foo.woff will receive a foo.scss file, which can later be imported via @import './font/foo';. Then the base64 version can be inlined via map-get( $data-uris, 'WebComponentsIcons.woff' ). This is done in order to workaround problems with hosting resources when consuming the theme. See issue #41 for more details.
