This section briefly explains about how to create a simple Accordion and configure its available functionalities in Angular using Angular quickstart.
The following list of dependencies are required to use the Accordion component in your application.
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-navigations
You can use Angular CLI
to setup your Angular applications.
To install Angular CLI use the following command.
npm install -g @angular/cli
Start a new Angular application using below Angular CLI command.
ng new my-app
cd my-app
All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com
registry.
To install Accordion component, use the following command.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations --save
The —save will instruct NPM to include the Accordion package inside of the dependencies section of the package.json.
Import Accordion module into Angular application(app.module.ts) from the package @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations [src/app/app.module.ts].
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
// import the AccordionModule for the Accordion component
import { AccordionModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
//declaration of ej2-angular-navigations module into NgModule
imports: [ BrowserModule, AccordionModule ],
declarations: [ AppComponent ],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }
The following CSS files are available in ../node_modules/@syncfusion
package folder.
This can be referenced in [src/styles.css] using following code.
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css';
Modify the template in [src/app/app.component.ts] file to render the accordion component.
Add the Angular Accordion by using <ejs-accordion>
selector in template section of the app.component.ts file.
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
// specifies the template string for the Accordion component
template: `<ejs-accordion> </ejs-accordion>`
})
export class AppComponent {
}
The Accordion can be rendered by defining an array of items
.
import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template: `
<ejs-accordion>
<e-accordionitems>
<e-accordionitem expanded='true'>
<ng-template #header>
<div>ASP.NET</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template #content>
<div>Microsoft ASP.NET is a set of technologies in the Microsoft .NET Framework for building Web applications and XML Web
services. ASP.NET pages execute on the server and generate markup such as HTML, WML, or XML that is sent to a desktop
or mobile browser. ASP.NET pages use a compiled,event-driven programming model that improves performance and enables
the separation of application logic and user interface.</div>

</e-accordionitem>

the view, and the controller. The ASP.NET MVC framework provides an alternative to the ASP.NET Web Forms pattern for

(as with Web Forms-based applications) is integrated with existing ASP.NET features, such as master pages and membership-based
authentication.

</ng-template>
</e-accordionitem>
<e-accordionitem>
<ng-template #header>
<div>JavaScript</div>
</ng-template>
<ng-template #content>
<div>JavaScript (JS) is an interpreted computer programming language.It was originally implemented as part of web browsers
so that client-side scripts could interact with the user, control the browser, communicate asynchronously, and alter
the document content that was displayed.More recently, however, it has become common in both game development and
the creation of desktop applications.</div>
</ng-template>
</e-accordionitem>
</e-accordionitems>
</ejs-accordion>
`
})
export class AppComponent {
}
npm start
The following code example depicts the way to initialize the Accordion on a single element.
Output will be as follows:
import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-container',
template: `
<ejs-accordion>
<e-accordionitems>
<e-accordionitem expanded='true'>
<ng-template #header>

The Accordion component can be rendered based on the given HTML element using <ejs-accordion>
.
You need to follow the below structure of HTML elements to render the Accordion inside the <ejs-accordion>
tag.
<ejs-accordion> --> Root Accordion Element
<div> --> Accordion Item Container
<div> --> Accordion Header Container
<div> </div> --> Accordion Header
</div>
<div> --> Accordion Panel Container
<div> </div> --> Accordion Content
</div>
</div>
</ejs-accordion>

You can add the custom class into Accordion component using
cssClass
property which is used to customize the Accordion component.
