For Kendo UI, it would be great if you could add a kendo configuration to a Model's field which would be used to auto display the html component, here is an example:

var newModel = kendo.data.Model.define({
  id: "id",
  fields: {
    state: {
      type: "string",
      defaultValue: "",
      validation: { required: true },
      component: {
        role: "kendoDropDownList",
        dataSource: {
          data: [
            'Alabama',
            'Alaska',
            'Arizona'
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
});
