import { NgModule }      from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

// Importing QueryBuilderModule from ej2-angular-querybuilder package.
import { QueryBuilderModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-querybuilder';
import { AppComponent }  from './app.component';

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

Adding Syncfusion Query Builder component

Modify the template in app.component.ts file to render the Angular Query Builder component.

Copied to clipboard
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `<!-- To render Query Builder. -->
               <ejs-querybuilder width="70%">
                <e-columns>
                  <e-column field="EmployeeID" label="Employee ID" type="number"></e-column>
                  <e-column field="FirstName" label="First Name" type="string"></e-column>
                  <e-column field="TitleOfCourtesy" label="Title Of Courtesy" type="boolean" [values]="values"></e-column>
                  <e-column field="Title" label="Title" type="string"></e-column>
                  <e-column field="HireDate" label="Hire Date" type="date" format="dd/MM/yyyy"></e-column>
                  <e-column field="Country" label="Country" type="string"></e-column>
                  <e-column field="City" label="City" type="string"></e-column>
                </e-columns>
              </ejs-querybuilder>`
})
export class AppComponent  { }

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { RuleModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-querybuilder';

@Component({

    template: `<!-- To render Query Builder. -->
               <ejs-querybuilder width="70%" [rule]="importRules">
                <e-columns>
                  <e-column field="EmployeeID" label="Employee ID" type="number"></e-column>

                </e-columns>
              </ejs-querybuilder>`
})

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

    public importRules: RuleModel;
    public values: string[] = ['Mr.', 'Mrs.'];

    ngOnInit(): void {
        this.importRules = {
        'condition': 'and',
        'rules': [{
                'label': 'Employee ID',
                'field': 'EmployeeID',
                'type': 'number',
                'operator': 'equal',
                'value': 1
            },
            {
