# Window Overview

The Window displays content in a modal or non-modal HTML window and, by default, can be moved, resized, and closed.

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

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

## Basic Usage

The following example demonstrates how to initialize the Window.

{% meta height:370 %}
{% embed_file overview/main.vue preview %}
{% embed_file overview/main.js %}
{% endmeta %}

## Installation

To initialize the Window, 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 Window package for Vue.

		```sh
		npm install --save @progress/kendo-window-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.window' // Imports only the Window script and its dependencies

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

	import { Window, WindowInstaller } from '@progress/kendo-window-vue-wrapper'

	Vue.use(WindowInstaller)

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