Prerequisites

Ensure your development environment meets the System Requirements for Syncfusion® Angular UI Components.

Setup the Angular application

A straightforward approach to begin with Angular is to create a new application using the Angular CLI. Install Angular CLI globally with the following command:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Angular 21 Standalone Architecture: Standalone components are the default in Angular 21. This guide uses the modern standalone architecture. If you need more information about the standalone architecture, refer to the Standalone Guide.

Installing a specific version

To install a particular version of Angular CLI, use:

npm install -g @angular/[email protected]

Create a new application

With Angular CLI installed, execute this command to generate a new application:

ng new syncfusion-angular-app
  • This command will prompt you to configure settings like enabling Angular routing and choosing a stylesheet format.
? Which stylesheet format would you like to use? (Use arrow keys)
> CSS             [ https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS                     ]
  Sass (SCSS)     [ https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax#scss                ]
  Sass (Indented) [ https://sass-lang.com/documentation/syntax#the-indented-syntax ]
  Less            [ http://lesscss.org                                             ]
  • By default, a CSS-based application is created. Use SCSS if required:
ng new syncfusion-angular-app --style=scss
  • During project setup, when prompted for the Server-side rendering (SSR) option, choose the appropriate configuration.

Initial_setup

  • Select the required AI tool or ‘none’ if you do not need any AI tool.

Initial_setup

  • Navigate to your newly created application directory:
cd syncfusion-angular-app

Note: In Angular 19 and below, the CLI generates files like app.component.ts, app.component.html, app.component.css, etc. In Angular 20+, the CLI generates a simpler structure with src/app/app.ts, app.html, and app.css (no .component. suffixes).

Adding Syncfusion® Angular packages

Syncfusion®’s Angular component packages are available on npmjs.com. To use Syncfusion® Angular components, install the necessary package.

This guide uses the Angular Bullet Chart component for demonstration. Add the Angular Bullet Chart component with:

ng add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts

The above command will perform the following configurations:

  • Add the @syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts package and peer dependencies to your package.json.
  • Import the Bullet Chart component in your application.

For more details on version compatibility, refer to the Version Compatibility section.

Syncfusion® offers two package structures for Angular components:

  1. Ivy library distribution package format
  2. Angular compatibility compiler (ngcc), which is Angular’s legacy compilation pipeline.
    Syncfusion®’s latest Angular packages are provided as Ivy-compatible and suited for Angular 12 and above. To install the package, execute: 
    ng add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts

    For applications not compiled with Ivy, use the ngcc tagged packages:

    The ngcc packages are still compatible with Angular CLI versions 15 and below. However, they may generate warnings suggesting the use of Ivy compiled packages. Starting from Angular 16, support for the ngcc package has been completely removed. If you have further questions regarding ngcc compatibility, please refer to the following FAQ.

npm add @syncfusion/[email protected]

Add Bullet Chart component

Modify the template in the app.component.ts file to render the Bullet Chart component [src/app/app.component.ts].

import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
import { BulletChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts';

@Component({
    imports: [BulletChartModule],
    standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    // specifies the template string for the Bullet Chart component
    template: `<ejs-bulletchart id='container'></ejs-bulletchart>`,
    encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent { }

Now use the app-root selector in the index.html file instead of the default one.

<app-root></app-root>
  • Use the ng serve command to run the application in the browser.
ng serve
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { BulletChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts';

@Component({
    imports: [BulletChartModule],
    standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    // specifies the template string for the Bullet Chart component
    template: `<ejs-bulletchart id="chart-container"></ejs-bulletchart>`
})
export class AppComponent {

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Module injection

Bullet Chart components are segregated into individual feature-wise modules. To use a particular feature, you need to inject its feature service in the app.component.ts file. In the current application, we are going to use the tooltip feature of the chart.

  • BulletTooltipService - Inject this provider to use tooltip feature.

Now import the above-mentioned modules from the chart package and inject them into the Bullet Chart component through the providers array.

    import { Component } from '@angular/core';
    import { BulletChartModule, BulletTooltipService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts';
    @Component({
        imports: [BulletChartModule],
        standalone: true,
        providers: [BulletTooltipService]
    })

Bullet Chart with data

This section explains how to plot JSON data to the Bullet Chart.

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { BulletChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts';

@Component({
    imports: [BulletChartModule],
    standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ejs-bulletchart [dataSource]='data' valueField='value' targetField='target'></ejs-bulletchart>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public data: Object[];
    ngOnInit(): void {
        // Data for Bullet Chart
        this.data = [
            { value: 100, target: 80 },
            { value: 200, target: 180 },
            { value: 300, target: 280 },
            { value: 400, target: 380 },
            { value: 500, target: 480 }
        ];
    }
}

Now assign the local data to the dataSource property. The value and target values should be mapped with the valueField and targetField properties respectively.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { BulletChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts';

@Component({
    imports: [BulletChartModule],
    standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ejs-bulletchart valueField='value' targetField='target'
                [minimum]='minimum' [maximum]='maximum' [interval]='interval' [dataSource]='data'>
                </ejs-bulletchart>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    public minimum: number = 0;
    public maximum: number = 300;
    public interval: number = 50;
    public data: Object[] = [
        { value: 100, target: 80 },
        { value: 200, target: 180 },
        { value: 300, target: 280 },
        { value: 400, target: 380 },
        { value: 500, target: 480 },
    ];
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Add Bullet Chart title

You can add a title to the Bullet Chart using the title property to provide quick information to the user about the data plotted in the chart.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { BulletChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts';

@Component({
    imports: [BulletChartModule],
    standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ejs-bulletchart valueField='value' targetField='target' title='Revenue'
                [minimum]='minimum' [maximum]='maximum' [interval]='interval' [dataSource]='data'>
                </ejs-bulletchart>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    public minimum: number = 0;
    public maximum: number = 300;
    public interval: number = 50;
    public data: Object[] = [
        { value: 270, target: 250 }
    ];
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Ranges

You can add a range using the ranges property of the Bullet Chart.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { BulletChartModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts';

@Component({
    imports: [BulletChartModule],
    standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ejs-bulletchart valueField='value' targetField='target' title='Revenue'
                [minimum]='minimum' [maximum]='maximum' [interval]='interval' [dataSource]='data'>
                <e-bullet-range-collection>
                    <e-bullet-range end='100' color='#ebebeb'></e-bullet-range>
                    <e-bullet-range end='200' color='#d8d8d8'></e-bullet-range>
                    <e-bullet-range end='300' color='#7f7f7f'></e-bullet-range>
                </e-bullet-range-collection>
                </ejs-bulletchart>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    public minimum: number = 0;
    public maximum: number = 300;
    public interval: number = 50;
    public data: Object[] = [
        { value: 270, target: 250 }
    ];
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Enable tooltip

You can enable tooltip for the Bullet Chart by setting the enable property to true in the tooltip object and by adding the BulletTooltipService to the providers array in your component.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { BulletChartModule, BulletTooltipService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-charts';

@Component({
    imports: [BulletChartModule],
    standalone: true,
    providers: [BulletTooltipService],
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ejs-bulletchart valueField='value' targetField='target' title='Revenue'
                [minimum]='minimum' [maximum]='maximum' [interval]='interval' [dataSource]='data'
                [tooltip]='tooltip'>
                <e-bullet-range-collection>
                    <e-bullet-range end='100' color='#ebebeb'></e-bullet-range>
                    <e-bullet-range end='200' color='#d8d8d8'></e-bullet-range>
                    <e-bullet-range end='300' color='#7f7f7f'></e-bullet-range>
                </e-bullet-range-collection>
                </ejs-bulletchart>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    public minimum: number = 0;
    public maximum: number = 300;
    public interval: number = 50;
    public tooltip: Object = { enable: true };
    public data: Object[] = [
        { value: 270, target: 250 }
    ];
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
