Angular provides the easiest way to set angular CLI projects using Angular CLI
tool.
Install the CLI application globally to your machine.
npm install -g @angular/cli
ng new syncfusion-angular-textbox
By default, it install the CSS style base application. To setup with SCSS, pass —style=scss argument on create project.
Example code snippet.
ng new syncfusion-angular-textbox --style=scss
Navigate to the created project folder.
cd syncfusion-angular-textbox
All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com
registry.
To install TextBox component, use the following command.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs --save
(or)
npm i @syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs --save
The —save will instruct NPM to include the TextBox package inside of the dependencies section of the
package.json
.

component.import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({

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-inputs/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs/styles/material.css';
The Custom Resource Generator (CRG) is an online web tool, which can be used to generate the custom script and styles for a set of specific components. This web tool is useful to combine the required component scripts and styles in a single file.
You can create a TextBox with icon as a group by creating the parent div element with the class e-input-group
and
add the icon element as span with the class e-input-group-icon
. For detailed information, refer to the Groups section.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<div class="wrap">
<div class="e-input-group">
<input class="e-input" name='input' type="text" (focus)="focusIn($event.target)"
placeholder = "Enter Date" (blur)="focusOut($event.target)"/>
<span class="e-input-group-icon e-input-popup-date" (mouseup)="onMouseUp($event.target)" (mousedown)="onMouseDown($event.target)"></span>
</div>
</div>`
})
export class AppComponent {
public focusIn(target: HTMLElement): void {
target.parentElement.classList.add('e-input-focus');
}
public focusOut(target: HTMLElement): void {
target.parentElement.classList.remove('e-input-focus');
}
public onMouseDown(target: HTMLElement): void {
target.classList.add('e-input-btn-ripple');
}
public onMouseUp(target: HTMLElement): void {
let ele: HTMLElement = target;
setTimeout(
() => {ele.classList.remove('e-input-btn-ripple'); },
500);
}
}
After completing the configuration required to render a basic TextBox, run the following command to display the output in your default browser.
ng serve
The following example illustrates the output in your browser.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<div class="wrap">
<div class="e-input-group">
<input class="e-input" name='input' type="text" (focus)="focusIn($event.target)"
placeholder = "Enter Date" (blur)="focusOut($event.target)"/>
<span class="e-input-group-icon e-input-popup-date" (mouseup)="onMouseUp($event.target)" (mousedown)="onMouseDown($event.target)"></span>
</div>
</div>`
})
export class AppComponent {
public focusIn(target: HTMLElement): void {
target.parentElement.classList.add('e-input-focus');
}
public focusOut(target: HTMLElement): void {
target.parentElement.classList.remove('e-input-focus');
}
public onMouseDown(target: HTMLElement): void {
target.classList.add('e-input-btn-ripple');
}
public onMouseUp(target: HTMLElement): void {
let ele: HTMLElement = target;
setTimeout(
() => {ele.classList.remove('e-input-btn-ripple'); },
500);
}

The floating label TextBox floats the label above the TextBox after focusing, or filled with value in the TextBox. You can create the floating label TextBox by using the floatLabelType API.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<div class="wrap">
<h4>Floating label as auto</h4>
<div class='textboxes'>
<ejs-textbox placeholder="First Name" floatLabelType="Auto"></ejs-textbox>
</div>
<h4>Floating label as always</h4>
<div class='textboxes'>
<ejs-textbox placeholder="First Name" floatLabelType="Always"></ejs-textbox>
</div>
</div>`
})
export class AppComponent { }
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import {TextBoxModule} from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs';
