I have a Blazor Server app (.net 7.0) that currently uses MudBlazor. There are things that Telerik does better, but I'd like to avoid a full-scale replacement effort. Is it possible (or wise) to add Telerik for specific components, and avoid transitioning the entire app? And if you know that it is possible because you have done so, any code or advice you could share would be greatly appreciated.
Short Answer: Yes, it is possible and appears to work.
From Telerik engineering:
In principle there is nothing preventing MudBlazor from being used alongside Telerik UI for Blazor in an application. As a small test, I added MudBlazor to one of our demo applications and verified that both component libraries were functional.
There is only one potentional stumbling block that I identified. Mud and Telerik use the same name for some inner classes, so it's possible that some references may become ambiguous when both libraries are included. The solution is quite simple, you just need to use the full object identifier.
I followed these instructions in an existing project that already had MudBlazor. The way TelerikRootComponent is used makes it easy to add Telerik without disrupting the existing MudBlazor stuff.
