Hi,

I want to build a SPA and I'm wondering if this is possible with KendoUI. I mean, a good SPA addresses the following issues:

- real permalinks
- page titles
- a working back button that fully degrades 
- different data states (page states, controls states etc.)
- client side caching
- asynchronous updates/communication
- ...what else? (please add if I missed something)

Example: http://pjax.heroku.com/ 

Does KendoUI have/will have such features or do I need an additional library?

Hello,

At present, most (if not all) of those features are available in Kendo UI Mobile suite, since it targets exactly Single Page Applications. We had some internal discussions regarding its merits outside of the mobile framework. However, I can't commit or provide more details regarding this feature at the moment. A vote in our UserVoice tracker would influence this. 

Can you please elaborate more on this feature?

- different data states (page states, controls states etc.)

All the best,

Hi,

Thanks for your answer. This means, KendoUI Web has currently no features to build a SPA. In my view, in the long term, such SPA features are absolutely necessary, especially when it comes to HTML5 apps. Also in regard to upshot.js - a key part of the forthcoming Microsoft RIA stack.

Can you please elaborate more on this feature: "different data states (page-, controls-states etc.)" 

>What I mean is a feature like the Persistence Framework in Silverlight
