Getting started with Angular Toolbar component

This section explains briefly about how to create a simple Toolbar using Angular and configuring the Toolbar items like button, separator and input components.

Dependencies

Install the below required dependency package in order to use the Toolbar component in your application.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-navigations
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups

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

Adding Syncfusion Toolbar package

All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com registry.

To install Toolbar component, use the following command.

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

The —save will instruct NPM to include the Toolbar package inside of the dependencies section of the package.json.

Registering Toolbar Module

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

import { NgModule }      from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
// import the ToolbarModule for the Toolbar component
import { ToolbarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';
import { AppComponent }  from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  //declaration of ej2-angular-navigations module into NgModule
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, ToolbarModule ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

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-buttons/styles/material.css';  
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';  
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css';

Add Toolbar component

Modify the template in [src/app/app.component.ts] file to render the toolbar component. Add the Angular Toolbar by using <ejs-toolbar> 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 Toolbar component
  template: `<ejs-toolbar>
          <e-items>
             <e-item text='Cut'></e-item>
             <e-item text='Copy'></e-item>
             <e-item text='Paste'></e-item>
             <e-item type='Separator'></e-item>
             <e-item text='Bold'></e-item>
             <e-item text='Italic'></e-item>
             <e-item text='Underline'></e-item>
          </e-items>
        </ejs-toolbar>`
})
export class AppComponent {

}
  • Now, run the application in the browser using the following command.
npm start

The following code example depicts the way to initialize The Toolbar on a single element.

app.component.ts

main.ts
import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { ToolbarComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `
        <ejs-toolbar>
          <e-items>
             <e-item text='Cut'></e-item>
             <e-item text='Copy'></e-item>
             <e-item text='Paste'></e-item>
             <e-item type='Separator'></e-item>
             <e-item text='Bold'></e-item>
             <e-item text='Italic'></e-item>
             <e-item text='Underline'></e-item>
          </e-items>
        </ejs-toolbar>
        `
})

export class AppComponent {

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

/**
 * Module
 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule, ToolbarModule
    ],
    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);

Initialize the Toolbar using HTML elements

The Toolbar component can be rendered based on the given HTML element using <ejs-toolbar>. You need to follow the below structure of HTML elements to render the Toolbar inside the <ejs-toolbar> tag.

   <ejs-toolbar>   --> Root Toolbar Element
    <div>      --> Toolbar Items Container
       <div>   --> Toolbar Item Element
       </div>
    </div>
  </ejs-toolbar>
