22 Jan 20258 minutes to read

You can customize the ListView using the template property. Refer to the following steps to customize ListView as mobile contact view with our ej2-avatar.

• Render the ListView with dataSource that has avatar data. You can set avatar data as either text or class names. Refer to the following codes.

  let data: any = [
      {
      text: "Jenifer",
      contact: "(206) 555-985774",
      id: "1",
      avatar: "",
      pic: "pic01"
    },
    { text: "Amenda", contact: "[phone]", id: "2", avatar: "A", pic: "" },
  ];

• Set avatar classes in ListView template to customize contact icon. In the following codes, medium size avatar has been set using the class name e-avatar e-avatar-circle from data source.

    <ng-template #template let-data="">
                  <div class="e-list-wrapper e-list-multi-line e-list-avatar">
                      <span class="e-avatar e-avatar-circle" *ngIf="data.avatar !== ''">{{data.avatar}}</span>
                      <span class="{{data.pic}} e-avatar e-avatar-circle" *ngIf="data.pic !== '' "> </span>
                      <span class="e-list-item-header">{{data.text}}</span>
                      <span class="e-list-content">{{data.contact}}</span>
                  </div>
      </ng-template>

Avatars can be set in different sizes in avatar classes. To know more about avatar classes, refer to Avatar.

• Sort the contact names using the sortOder property of ListView.
• Enable the showHeader property, and set the headerTitle as Contacts.
