This section explains briefly about how to create a Slider control in your application with Angular.
Create Slider in Angular Application using Web pack
To quick start with Syncfusion JavaScript Angular components run the below commands to clone the repository for Web pack starter and installing required dependency packages.
> git clone https://github.com/syncfusion/angular2-seeds
> cd angular2-seeds
> npm install
The below steps describes to add slider component with above cloned seed application.
Syncfusion JavaScript components source configuration and sample creation
- Copy required Syncfusion Angular source component(s) from the below build location and add it in
src/app/ej
folder.
(Installed Location)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\14.3.0.49\JavaScript\assets-src\angular2\
NOTE
core.ts
file is mandatory for all Syncfusion JavaScript Angular components. The repository having the source file from Essential Studio for JavaScript v14.3.0.49.
-
Create
slider
folder insidesrc/app
folder. -
Create
slider.component.html
view file insidesrc/app/slider
folder and render ejSlider Angular component using the below code example.
<ej-slider width="100%" [value]="value"></ej-slider>
- Create
slider.component.ts
model file inside the foldersrc/app/slider
and create slider sample component using the below code example.
import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'ej-app',
templateUrl: './slider.component.html'
})
export class SliderComponent {
value: string;
constructor() {
this.value = '20';
}
}
Configure the routes for the Router
Before adding router configuration for above created ejSlider component, we recommend you to go through the Angular Routing configuration to get the deeper knowledge about Angular routing.
- Now, we are going to configure the route navigation link for created Slider sample in
src/app/app.component.html
file.
<div>
<ul class="nav navbar-nav">
. . . .
<li><a data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#skeleton-navigation-navbar-collapse.in"
href="#slider" [routerLink]="['/slider']">Slider </a></li>
</ul>
</div>
<main>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
</main>
- Import the ejSlider sample component and define the route in
src/app/app.routes.ts
file.
import { Routes } from '@angular/router';
. . . .
import { SliderComponent } from './slider/slider.component';
export const rootRouterConfig: Routes = [
{ path: '', redirectTo: 'home', pathMatch: 'full' },
. . . .
{ path: 'slider', component: SliderComponent }
];
- Import and declare the Syncfusion source component and ejSlider sample component into
app.module.ts
like the below code snippet.
import { NgModule, enableProdMode, ErrorHandler } from '@angular/core';
. . . . .
import { EJAngular2Module } from 'ej-angular2';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { SliderComponent } from './slider/slider.component';
import { rootRouterConfig } from './app.routes';
. . . .
@NgModule({
imports: [BrowserModule, FormsModule, HttpModule, EJAngular2Module.forRoot(),
RouterModule.forRoot(rootRouterConfig, { useHash: true })],
declarations: [. . . . , SliderComponent],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
Running the application
- To run the application, execute below command.
npm start
- Browse to http://localhost:3000 to see the application. And navigate to Slider tab. The component is rendered as like the below screenshot. You can make changes in the code found under src folder and the browser should auto-refresh itself while you save files.
NOTE
if you want to use other port, open
package.json
file, then change port in--port 3000
script and also change the port inconfig/webpack.dev.js
.
Create Slider in Angular Application using SystemJS
