Getting started with Angular Pager component
20 Dec 20227 minutes to read
This section explains you the steps required to create a simple Pager and demonstrate the basic usage of the Pager component in Angular environment.
Setup Angular Environment
You can use Angular CLI
to setup your 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 below Angular CLI command.
ng new my-app
cd my-app
Installing Syncfusion Pager package
Syncfusion packages are distributed in npm as @syncfusion
scoped packages. You can get all the Angular Syncfusion package from npm link.
Currently, Syncfusion provides two types of package structures for Angular components,
- Ivy library distribution package format
- 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 below command.
Add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids
package to the application.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids --save
Angular compatibility compiled package(ngcc)
For Angular version below 12, you can use the legacy (ngcc) package of the Syncfusion Angular components. To download the ngcc
package use the below.
Add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids@ngcc
package to the application.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids@ngcc --save
To mention the ngcc package in the package.json
file, add the suffix -ngcc
with the package version as below.
@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids:"20.2.38-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.
Registering Pager Module
Import Pager module into Angular application(app.module.ts) from the package @syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids [src/app/app.module.ts].
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { PagerModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
PagerModule
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
Adding CSS reference
The CSS files are available in ../node_modules/@syncfusion package folder. This can be referenced in [src/styles.css] using following code..
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
Adding Pager component
Modify the template in [src/app/app.component.ts] file to render the Angular pager component. Add the Angular pager by using <ejs-pager>
selector in template section of the app.component.ts file.
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
// specifies the template string for the Pager component
template: `<ejs-pager [totalRecordsCount]='20'>
</ejs-pager>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
ngOnInit(): void {
}
}
Page Size
pageSize
value defines the number of records to be displayed per page. The default value for the pageSize
is 12.
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<ejs-pager [pageSize]= '1' [totalRecordsCount]='20'>
</ejs-pager>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit{
ngOnInit(): void {
}
}
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { PagerModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
/**
* Module
*/
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
PagerModule
],
declarations: [AppComponent],
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);
Page Count
pageCount
value defines the number of pages to be displayed in the pager component for navigation.
The default value for pageCount
is 10 and value will be updated based on totalRecordsCount
and pageSize
values.
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<ejs-pager [pageSize]='1' [pageCount]='3' [totalRecordsCount]='20'>
</ejs-pager>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit{
ngOnInit(): void {
}
}
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { PagerModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
/**
* Module
*/
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
PagerModule
],
declarations: [AppComponent],
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);
Run the application
The quickstart project is configured to compile and run the application in browser. Use the following command to run the application.
ng serve --open
Output will be appears as follows.
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<ejs-pager [pageSize]='8' [pageCount]='3' [totalRecordsCount]='20'>
</ejs-pager>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit{
ngOnInit(): void {
}
}
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { PagerModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
/**
* Module
*/
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
PagerModule
],
declarations: [AppComponent],
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);
