This section explains how to create a default ColorPicker and demonstrate the basic usage of the ColorPicker module.
The list of dependencies required to use the ColorPicker module in your application is given below:
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-inputs
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttonsYou can use Angular CLI to setup your Angular applications. To install Angular CLI use the following command.
npm install -g @angular/cliStart a new Angular application using below Angular CLI command.
ng new my-app
cd my-appTo install ColorPicker package, use the following command.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs --saveImport ColorPicker module into Angular application(app.module.ts) from the package
@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
// Importing Colorpicker module from Syncfusion ej2-angular-inputs package.
import { ColorPickerModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
imports: [ BrowserModule, ColorPickerModule ], // Declaration of ColorPickerModule into NgModule.
declarations: [ AppComponent ],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }Modify the template in app.component.ts file to render the ColorPicker component.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<!-- To render ColorPicker. -->
<input ejs-colorpicker type="color" id="colorpicker" />`
})
export class AppComponent { }Add ColorPicker 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-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css';Run the application in the browser using the following command:
ng serveThe following example shows a default ColorPicker component.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<h4>Choose Color</h4>
<!-- To render ColorPicker. -->
<input ejs-colorpicker type="color" id="colorpicker" />`
})
export class AppComponent { }import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { ColorPickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
enableRipple(true);
/**
* Module
*/
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,FormsModule
],
declarations: [AppComponent, ColorPickerComponent],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);By default, the ColorPicker will be rendered using SplitButton and open the pop-up to access the ColorPicker. To
render the ColorPicker container alone and to access it directly, render it as inline. It can be achieved by setting the inline property to true.
The following sample shows the inline type rendering of ColorPicker.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<h4>Choose Color</h4>
<!-- To render inline ColorPicker. -->
<input ejs-colorpicker type="color" id="colorpicker" [inline]="true" [showButtons]="false" />`
})
export class AppComponent { }import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { ColorPickerComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
enableRipple(true);
/**
* Module
*/
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,FormsModule
],
declarations: [AppComponent, ColorPickerComponent],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);The
showButtonsproperty is disabled in this sample because the control buttons are not needed for inline type. To know about the control buttons functionality, refer to theshowButtonssample.
