STUDS builds on Blazor and Kendo to provide a streamlined UI design system. To integrate it into your project, follow these steps.

Step 1: Choose Your Development Package

  1. Select a Foundation: Select either Kendo or Telerik as your foundation.

  2. Install Node.js: Ensure that Node.js is installed. → https://nodejs.org/en/download/prebuilt-installer

  3. Install npm (if needed):

npm install -g npm
  1. Install via npm or your preferred method:

Kendo

npm install kendo-ui

Telerik

npm install telerik-ui

Step 2: Add CSS and SVG Files

Ensure that the STUDS CSS is applied after Kendo or Telerik to avoid conflicts. This will provide base styling for your project. The order should be:

  1. All Kendo or Telerik stylesheets

  2. Bootstrap (if you are using it)

  3. studs-ui-kit.css

  4. Any additional app-specific layout styles.

Go to the STUDS downloads page to view, download, or get links to the CSS, SVGs, and fonts.

From there, you have the option to select a specific release or always have the most current version. The current directory will always contain the latest release. 

Web-Based Applications: Use the following CDN link to include the current STUDS UI Kit.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://www.strongtie.com/studs/current/studs-ui-kit.css" />

Desktop Applications: Download the CSS and SVG files and embed them within your project folder.

Step 3: Customize Your Application’s Styles

Once the STUDS UI Kit is applied, you can add custom styles to fit your application’s layout. Make sure any custom styles come after STUDS in the style hierarchy.
