27 Sep 20233 minutes to read

This section explains the steps required to create a simple Angular Message component and configure its available functionalities.

Setup Angular Environment

Use Angular CLI to setup the 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 following Angular CLI command.

ng new my-app
cd my-app

Installing Syncfusion Notification package

Syncfusion packages are distributed in npm as @syncfusion scoped packages. Get all the Angular Syncfusion package from npm link.
Currently, Syncfusion provides two types of package structures for Angular components. They are:

1. Ivy library distribution package format.
2. Angular compatibility compiler(Angular’s legacy compilation and rendering pipeline) package.

Ivy library distribution package

Syncfusion Angular packages(>=20.2.36) has been moved to the Ivy distribution to support the Angular Ivy rendering engine and the package are compatible with Angular version 12 and above. To download the package, use the following command.

Add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications package to the application.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications --save

Angular compatibility compiled package(ngcc)

For Angular version below 12, use the legacy (ngcc) package of the Syncfusion Angular components. To download the ngcc package, use the following command.

Add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications@ngcc package to the application.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications@ngcc --save

To mention the ngcc package in the package.json file, add the suffix -ngcc with the package version as follows.

@syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications:"20.3.47-ngcc"

Note: If the ngcc tag is not specified while installing the package, the Ivy Library Package will be installed and this package will throw a warning.

Adding Message module

Import Message module into Angular application(app.module.ts) from the package @syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications [src/app/app.module.ts].

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
// Import the Message Module for the Message component
import { MessageModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications';
import { AppComponent }  from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  //Declaration of the MessageModule module into NgModule
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, MessageModule ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

Adding CSS Reference

Add Message component’s styles as given in the following styles.css.

@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications/styles/message/material.css';

Add Message component

Modify the template in the [src/app/app.component.ts] file to render the Message component. Add the Angular Message by using the <ejs-message> selector in the template section of the app.component.ts file.

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

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: '<ejs-message content="Please read the comments carefully"></ejs-message>'
})
export class AppComponent{
}

Run the application

Use the following command to run the application in the browser.

ng serve --open

The output will appear as follows.

app.component.ts

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

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: '<ejs-message content="Please read the comments carefully"></ejs-message>'
})
export class AppComponent{
}

app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { MessageModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule, MessageModule
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

main.ts

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

import 'zone.js';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);
