# Grid Overview

The Kendo UI Grid wrapper for Vue displays data in a tabular format and provides a full spectrum of configuration options.

It supports the implementation of data operations and can be bound to local or remote data.

The Kendo UI Data Grid wrapper for Vue is a client-side wrapper for the [Kendo UI Grid](https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/grid) widget.

<div data-component="StartFreeTrialSection"></div>

## Basic Usage

The following example demonstrates how to initialize the Grid.

{% meta height:470 %}
{% embed_file grid/basic/main.vue preview %}
{% embed_file grid/basic/main.js %}
{% endmeta %}

## Installation

To initialize the Kendo UI Grid wrapper for Vue, either:

* [Use the CDN service]({% slug using_cdn %}), or
* [Use Webpack](#toc-initializing-with-webpack).

### Initializing with Webpack

1. Install Kendo UI and add a theme.

    ```sh
    npm install --save @progress/kendo-ui
    npm install --save @progress/kendo-theme-default
    ```

1. Install the Kendo UI Grid package for Vue.

    ```sh
    npm install --save @progress/kendo-grid-vue-wrapper
    ```

1. Import the Kendo UI packages to the App component. If you use the Kendo UI components more than once in your application, add all Kendo UI-related files to the `main.js` file. If you use the Kendo UI components once in your application, add the Kendo UI-related files the component where they will be referred.

    ```js-no-run
    import '@progress/kendo-ui' // This will import the entire Kendo UI library
    // As an alternative, you could import only the scripts that are used by a specific widget:
    // import '@progress/kendo-ui/js/kendo.grid' // Imports only the Grid script and its dependencies

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

    import { Grid, GridInstaller } from '@progress/kendo-grid-vue-wrapper'

    Vue.use(GridInstaller)

    new Vue({
        el: '#app',
        components: {
            Grid
        }
    })
    ```
