AngularJS $route vs kendo.Router

[Charlie Marshall]

Hi all,

First time posting here and was looking for some advice between the two mentioned frameworks...

I am working for a company that uses Kendo UI for the whole site for an SPA View. Recently we have started using Umbraco which uses AngularJS. We are trying to decide whether to keep using Kendo UI for a the SPA as well as everything else or whether it might be worth rewriting the site in AngularJS.

Any help on this would be fantastic!

Thanks!

Hi Charlie,

What is your exact question? Kendo and angular can work quite nice next to each other, however, as I understand it, there are some kendo-components that don't.  However, at kendo seems to be a nice collection of jquery ui-widgets. The problem with that is that if you build the jquery way, the DOM becomes your single point of truth. While in angular apps your data is the center of the universe. That does collide every now and then. It can be worked around, and patched up, but that's not a path I would travel (well, not without putting up a fix!) myself.

Does this help you a bit, or do I need to elaborate on something I said?

Regards

Sander
