How to add link to Toolbar item in Angular Toolbar

26 Sep 20263 minutes to read

The Angular Toolbar component supports adding interactive links within toolbar items using Angular’s ng-template directive. This approach enables you to embed anchor elements or routing links directly into toolbar items while maintaining full control over their behavior and styling.

Define the ng-template block as a sibling to the <ejs-toolbar> (or in the same template file) with a template reference variable, then reference it from the toolbar item through the [template] input:

<ejs-toolbar>
  <e-items>
    <e-item [template]="linkRef"></e-item>
  </e-items>
</ejs-toolbar>

<ng-template #linkRef>
  <a href="https://www.syncfusion.com" target="_blank">Syncfusion</a>
</ng-template>

If the link uses [routerLink], ensure RouterModule (or provideRouter) is registered in your standalone bootstrapApplication/AppComponent providers.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ToolbarModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations'




import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { ToolbarComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';

@Component({
imports: [
         ToolbarModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-container',
    template: `
        <ejs-toolbar>
          <e-items>
             <e-item text='Cut'></e-item>
             <e-item text='Copy'></e-item>
             <e-item type='Separator'></e-item>
             <e-item text='Paste'></e-item>
             <e-item type='Separator'></e-item>
             <e-item >
            <ng-template #template>
                <div>
                  <a
                    target="_blank"
                    href="https://ej2.syncfusion.com/angular/documentation/toolbar/getting-started/"
                    >Anchor Toolbar Link</a
                  >
                </div>
            </ng-template>
            </e-item>
          </e-items>
        </ejs-toolbar>
        `
})

export class AppComponent {

}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));
