11 Jul 20243 minutes to read
This section explains how to create a simple Skeleton and demonstrate the basic usage of the Skeleton component in an Angular environment.
Dependencies
The list of dependencies required to use the Skeleton component in your application is given as follows:
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-base
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 Notifications 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-notifications
package to the application.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications --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-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 below.
@syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications:"20.3.0.47-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.
Add Skeleton into application
Modify the template
in app.component.ts
file to render the Skeleton component.
[src/app/app.component.ts]
import { SkeletonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications'
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
imports: [
SkeletonModule
],
standalone: true,
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<ejs-skeleton height='15px'></ejs-skeleton>`
})
export class AppComponent { }
Adding CSS reference
The following 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-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications/styles/material.css';
Running the application
Run the application in the browser using the following command:
ng serve
The following example shows a basic Skeleton component.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { SkeletonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-notifications'
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
imports: [
SkeletonModule
],
standalone: true,
selector: 'my-app',
template: `<ejs-skeleton height='15px'></ejs-skeleton>`
})
export class AppComponent { }
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
