Types

Many of the sections in the Kendo UI Core API documentation require you to set a mandatory type—configuration options, event arguments, method parameters, and fields. Types are specified in code blocks—for example, String.

Types are case-sensitive.

Supported Types

The following types are available:

• String
• Number
• Object
• Array
• Function
• Date
• Boolean
• jQuery—The result of a jQuery operation.
• jqXHR—The jQuery version of the XMLHttpRequest.
• Element—A DOM element.
• Fully qualified Kendo UI object—For example, kendo.data.ObservableObject.

Multiple Types

Multiple types are separated with a | (pipe).

  ### item `Number|Element|jQuery`

  ### margin `Number|String|Object`

  ### margin.left `Number|String`

Automatic Linking

The type names in declarations are linked to their corresponding article. Mappings that are defined in _config.yml can be used to link external resources or for types that fail to link automatically.
