title: Is it really worth mixing AngularJS and or KendoUI?
body: <p>Recently, in working with AngularJS, I really like many of the features, like creating custom abstract data factories, etc.</p>
  
  <p>KendoUI also has similar features like MVVM, SPA routes, etc. that AngularJS offers, so I'm curious about what the benefits are of mixing the two (other than the rich UI features of KendoUI)?</p>
  
  <p><strong>-- Update --</strong></p>
  
  <p>I'm asking this question for clarification, and for those who may be slightly confused about the benefits of each, and why one would use both in a project, rather than one over the other.</p>
  
  <p>For example - Javascript unit testing capabilities (simply done with Angular controllers, but have not seen anyone doing this with KendoUI).</p>
  
  <p>It seems like Kendo is trying to do it all, but does UI best.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>

  <p>Since writing this question I have gone through and integrated the KendoUI grid with Angular using OData and have written a tutorial <a href="https://whatsinyourlunch.wordpress.com/2014/02/21/using-an-angularjs-factory-to-populate-a-kendoui-datasource-from-an-odata-endpoint/">here</a> at <a href="http://www.whatsinyourlunch.com">www.whatsinyourlunch.com</a> on how to accomplish this, in hopes that this will be useful for others.</p>
  
  <p>The stack is AngularJS, KendoUI, OData, WebAPI2, .Net MVC5, C#, Entity Framework accessed through a generic repository.</p>
