Kendo UI for Vue FAQ

This article lists the answers to the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) about the Kendo UI for Vue suite.

General Queries

What is the difference between the Kendo UI for Vue Native and Kendo UI for Vue Wrapper suites?

The Kendo UI for Vue Native components are built from scratch with Vue.js and benefit from all the functionality provided by the framework. The Wrapper components are wrappers of the Kendo UI for jQuery suite. They use Kendo UI for jQuery under the hood and there could be some usage limitations in specific Vue scenarios.

If we have to choose between the Kendo UI for Vue Native and Kendo UI for Vue Wrapper suites, which one would you recommend?

Historically, the Kendo UI for Vue Wrapper components were presented at first. When we saw the potential, we started developing the Kendo UI for Vue Native suite. The focus of the Kendo UI for Vue team is now on the Native suite. Currently, the number of Native components is bigger than the components in the Wrapper suite.

If you have the choice between the Native and Wrapper suite, what we recommend is the Native one.
