Telerik UI for Blazor — Component Assistant

Common Guidelines

Before implementing any component, read common-guidelines.md for the foundational rules that apply to every Telerik Blazor implementation (NuGet setup, TelerikRootComponent, attribute splatting).

Calling the Component Assistant

Use the telerik_component_assistant MCP tool to retrieve accurate API reference and documentation for any Telerik UI for Blazor component.

Tool call:

telerik_component_assistant({
    query="<Specific question about the component and the feature you need>",
    component="<ComponentName>"  // e.g. Grid, Chart, Form, DatePicker, DropDownList, etc.
})

Examples:

telerik_component_assistant({
    query="How to configure paging and sorting in the Grid?",
    component="Grid"
})

telerik_component_assistant({
    query="What parameters does DatePicker expose for two-way binding and value change events?",
    component="DatePicker"
})

telerik_component_assistant({
    query="How to use DropDownList with a custom data source and value field?",
    component="DropDownList"
})

Query Guidelines

• One component per call. Never batch multiple components into one query. Make separate calls for each component.
• One topic per query. Split multi-topic requests into separate calls:
  • Parameters → one call
  • Events → one call
  • Templates / RenderFragments → one call
  • Data binding → one call
  • Filtering / sorting / paging → one call
• Be specific. "Grid with filtering and virtual scrolling" is better than "Grid features".
• Use the exact component name in the component parameter (e.g., Grid, Chart, Form, DatePicker).

After Retrieval

Apply the response alongside the rules in common-guidelines.md:

• Use only Telerik.UI.for.Blazor components
• No attribute splatting on Telerik components
• Always ensure TelerikRootComponent wraps the app layout
• Validate any generated code with telerik_validator_assistant
