Icons

To place the icon on a list box, set the iconCss property to e-icons with the required icon CSS. By default, the icon is positioned to the left side of the list.

In the following sample, icon classes are mapped with iconCss field.

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms'
import{ ListBoxAllModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-dropdowns'
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'




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

@Component({
imports: [
        FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule, ListBoxAllModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `<div class="e-section-control">
                <ejs-listbox [dataSource]="data" [fields]="setfield"></ejs-listbox></div>`
   
})

export class AppComponent{
public data: { [key: string]: Object }[] = [
    { text: 'Account Settings', iconCss: 'e-list-icons e-list-user-settings' },
    { text: 'Address Book', iconCss: 'e-list-icons e-list-address-book' },
    { text: 'Delete', iconCss: 'e-list-icons e-list-delete' },
    { text: 'Forward', iconCss: 'e-list-icons e-list-forward' },
    { text: 'Reply', iconCss: 'e-list-icons e-list-reply' },
    { text: 'Reply All', iconCss: 'e-list-icons e-list-reply-all' },
    { text: 'Save All Attachments', iconCss: 'e-list-icons e-list-save-all-attachments' },
    { text: 'Save As', iconCss: 'e-list-icons e-list-icon-save-as' },
    { text: 'Touch/Mouse Mode', iconCss: 'e-list-icons e-list-touch' },
    { text: 'Undo', iconCss: ' e-list-icons e-list-undo' }
];

public setfield = { iconCss: "iconCss" }
}

main.ts

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

Templates

ListBox items can be customized according to the requirement using itemTemplate property.

In the following sample, the items in the cart are displayed using list box template,

app.component.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms'
import { ListBoxComponent, ListBoxAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-dropdowns'
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'




import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
imports: [
        FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule, ListBoxAllModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    templateUrl: 'template.html',
   
})

export class AppComponent  {
    public data?: { [key: string]: Object }[];
    ngOnInit():void{
            this.data = [
                { text: 'JavaScript', pic: 'javascript', description: 'It is a lightweight interpreted or JIT-compiled programming language.' },
                { text: 'TypeScript', pic: 'typeScript', description: 'It is a typed superset of Javascript that compiles to plain JavaScript.' },
