Getting started with Angular Carousel component
22 Sep 20259 minutes to read
This section explains how to create a simple Angular Carousel, and demonstrates the basic usage of the Carousel module in an Angular environment.
Dependencies
The following dependencies are required to use the Carousel module in your application:
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-navigations
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
Setup Angular environment
You can use Angular CLI to set up your Angular applications. To install Angular CLI, use the following command:
npm install -g @angular/cli
Create an Angular application
Start a new Angular application using the Angular CLI command below:
ng new my-app
cd my-app
Installing Syncfusion® Carousel Package
Syncfusion® packages are distributed in npm as @syncfusion
scoped packages. You can get all the Angular Syncfusion® packages from npm link.
Currently, Syncfusion® provides two types of package structures for Angular components:
- Ivy library distribution package format
- Angular compatibility compiler (Angular’s legacy compilation and rendering pipeline) package
Ivy library distribution package
Syncfusion® Angular packages (>=20.2.36
) have been moved to the Ivy distribution to support the Angular Ivy rendering engine. The packages are compatible with Angular version 12 and above. To download the package, use the command below:
Add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations
package to the application.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations --save
Angular compatibility compiled package (ngcc)
For Angular versions below 12, you can use the legacy (ngcc) package of the Syncfusion® Angular components. To download the ngcc
package, use the command below:
Add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations@ngcc
package to the application.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations@ngcc --save
To specify the ngcc package in the package.json
file, add the suffix -ngcc
with the package version as shown below:
@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations:"20.2.38-ngcc"
Note: If the ngcc tag is not specified while installing the package, the Ivy Library Package will be installed and this package will display a warning.
Adding Syncfusion® Carousel component
Modify the template in the app.component.ts
file with ejs-carousel
to render the Carousel component.
import { CarouselModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations'
import { Component } from "@angular/core";
@Component({
imports: [CarouselModule],
standalone: true,
selector: "app-root",
template: `<!-- To Render Carousel. -->
<div class="control-container">
<ejs-carousel>
<e-carousel-items>
<e-carousel-item>
<ng-template #template>
<figure class="img-container">
<img src="https://ej2.syncfusion.com/products/images/carousel/cardinal.png" alt="cardinal" style="height:100%;width:100%;" />
<figcaption class="img-caption">Cardinal</figcaption>
</figure>
</ng-template>
</e-carousel-item>
<e-carousel-item>
<ng-template #template>
<figure class="img-container">
<img src="https://ej2.syncfusion.com/products/images/carousel/hunei.png" alt="kingfisher" style="height:100%;width:100%;" />
<figcaption class="img-caption">Kingfisher</figcaption>
</figure>
</ng-template>
</e-carousel-item>
<e-carousel-item>
<ng-template #template>
<figure class="img-container">
<img src="https://ej2.syncfusion.com/products/images/carousel/costa-rica.png" alt="keel-billed-toucan" style="height:100%;width:100%;" />
<figcaption class="img-caption">Keel-billed-toucan</figcaption>
</figure>
</ng-template>
</e-carousel-item>
<e-carousel-item>
<ng-template #template>
<figure class="img-container">
<img src="https://ej2.syncfusion.com/products/images/carousel/kaohsiung.png" alt="yellow-warbler" style="height:100%;width:100%;" />
<figcaption class="img-caption">Yellow-warbler</figcaption>
</figure>
</ng-template>
</e-carousel-item>
<e-carousel-item>
<ng-template #template>
<figure class="img-container">
<img src="https://ej2.syncfusion.com/products/images/carousel/bee-eater.png" alt="bee-eater" style="height:100%;width:100%;" />
<figcaption class="img-caption">Bee-eater</figcaption>
</figure>
</ng-template>
</e-carousel-item>
</e-carousel-items>
</ejs-carousel>
</div>`
})
export class AppComponent {}
Adding CSS reference
Add Carousel component’s styles as given below in style.css
:
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css";
Running the application
Run the application in the browser using the following command:
ng serve
The following example shows a basic Carousel
component.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { CarouselModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations'
import { Component } from "@angular/core";
@Component({
imports: [ CarouselModule],
standalone: true,
selector: "app-root",
template: `<!-- To Render Carousel. -->
<div class="control-container">
<ejs-carousel>
<e-carousel-items>
<e-carousel-item>
<ng-template #template>
<figure class="img-container">

import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
