Add support for the HTML 5 data-* so we can access the Kendo API in this elegant and unobtrusive way. Example, Kendo's date picker could be called this way something like this: <input type="text" class="myClass" data-kendo-date="true" data-format="dd/MM/yyy" data-min-date="13/12/2013" />
Hi Si, We already support declarative widget initialization via data- attributes. http://docs.kendoui.com/getting-started/data-attribute-initialization
