Getting started with Angular ListBox component

This section briefly explains how to create a simple ListBox component and configure its available functionalities in Angular.

Dependencies

The following list of dependencies are required to use the ListBox component in your application.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-dropdowns
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-lists
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-inputs
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-navigations
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
            |-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons

Installation and configuration

  • To setup basic Angular sample use following commands.
git clone https://github.com/angular/quickstart.git quickstart
cd quickstart
npm install

For more information, refer to Angular sample setup.

  • Install Syncfusion packages using below command.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-dropdowns --save

The above package installs ListBox dependencies which are required to render the component in the Angular environment.

/**
 * System configuration for Angular samples
 * Adjust as necessary for your application needs.
 */
(function (global) {
System.config({
    paths: {
        'npm:': 'node_modules/',
         "syncfusion:": "node_modules/@syncfusion/", //** syncfusion alias **
    },
    map: {

        // our app is within the app folder
        app: 'app',

        // angular bundles
        '@angular/core': 'npm:@angular/core/bundles/core.umd.js',
        '@angular/common': 'npm:@angular/common/bundles/common.umd.js',
        '@angular/compiler': 'npm:@angular/compiler/bundles/compiler.umd.js',
        '@angular/platform-browser': 'npm:@angular/platform-browser/bundles/platform-browser.umd.js',

        '@angular/http': 'npm:@angular/http/bundles/http.umd.js',
        '@angular/router': 'npm:@angular/router/bundles/router.umd.js',
        '@angular/forms': 'npm:@angular/forms/bundles/forms.umd.js',

        // syncfusion bundles
        '@syncfusion/ej2-base': 'syncfusion:ej2-base/dist/ej2-base.umd.min.js',
        '@syncfusion/ej2-data': 'syncfusion:ej2-data/dist/ej2-data.umd.min.js',
        '@syncfusion/ej2-inputs': 'syncfusion:ej2-inputs/dist/ej2-inputs.umd.min.js',
        '@syncfusion/ej2-popups': 'syncfusion:ej2-popups/dist/ej2-popups.umd.min.js',
        '@syncfusion/ej2-lists': 'syncfusion:ej2-lists/dist/ej2-lists.umd.min.js',
        '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons': 'syncfusion:ej2-buttons/dist/ej2-buttons.umd.min.js',
        "@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns": 'syncfusion:ej2-dropdowns/dist/ej2-dropdowns.umd.min.js',
        '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-base': 'syncfusion:ej2-angular-base/dist/ej2-angular-base.umd.min.js',
        '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-dropdowns': 'syncfusion:ej2-angular-dropdowns/dist/ej2-angular-dropdowns.umd.min.js'

        // other libraries
        'rxjs':                      'npm:rxjs',
        'angular-in-memory-web-api': 'npm:angular-in-memory-web-api/bundles/in-memory-web-api.umd.js'
    },

    // packages tells the System loader how to load when no filename and/or no extension
    packages: {
      app: {
        defaultExtension: 'js',
        meta: {
          './*.js': {
            loader: 'systemjs-angular-loader.js'
          }
        }
      },
      rxjs: {
        defaultExtension: 'js'
      }
    }
  });
})(this);
  • Import ListBox module into Angular application(app.module.ts) from the package @syncfusion/ej2-angular-dropdowns.
import { NgModule }      from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
// import the ListBoxModule for the ListBox component
import { ListBoxModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-dropdowns';
import { AppComponent }  from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  //declaration of ej2-angular-dropdowns module into NgModule
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, ListBoxModule ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }
  • Modify the template in app.component.ts file to render the ejs-ListBox component and also include the component theme from the corresponding base package @syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns component through styleUrls.
import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  // specifies the template string for the ListBox component
  template: `<ejs-listbox></ejs-listbox>`,
  // include the material theme to ListBox
  styleUrls: ['../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns/styles/material.css']
  encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent  { }

Binding data source

After initialization, populate the ListBox with data using the dataSource property. Here, an array of object is passed to the ListBox component.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-container',
    // specifies the template string for the ListBox component
    template: `<ejs-listbox [dataSource]='data'></ejs-listbox>`
})
export class AppComponent {
    constructor() {
    }
    // defined the array of object
    public data: { [key: string]: Object }[] = [
    { text: 'Hennessey Venom', id: 'list-01' },
    { text: 'Bugatti Chiron', id: 'list-02' },
    { text: 'Bugatti Veyron Super Sport', id: 'list-03' },
    { text: 'SSC Ultimate Aero', id: 'list-04' },
    { text: 'Koenigsegg CCR', id: 'list-05' },
    { text: 'McLaren F1', id: 'list-06' },
    { text: 'Aston Martin One- 77', id: 'list-07' },
    { text: 'Jaguar XJ220', id: 'list-08' },
    { text: 'McLaren P1', id: 'list-09' },
    { text: 'Ferrari LaFerrari', id: 'list-10' },
];

}

Run the application

After completing the configuration required to render a basic ListBox, run the following command to display the output in your default browser.

npm start

The following example illustrates the output in your browser.
