Getting started in EJ2 TypeScript Avatar control
8 May 20232 minutes to read
The following section explains the steps required to create a simple avatar component using styles and its basic usage.
Dependencies
Install the following required dependent packages to render the avatar component.
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-layouts
Set up your development environment
To get started with the Avatar
component, you can clone the Essential JS 2 quickstart
project, and install the packages by using the following commands.
git clone https://github.com/syncfusion/ej2-quickstart.git quickstart
cd quickstart
npm install
By default, the project is configured with all the Essential JS 2 dependencies. As avatar is a pure CSS component, do not configure the
src/system.config.js
file. You can remove the file.
Include avatar theme file
The avatar CSS files are available in the ej2-layouts
package folder. This can be referenced in your application using the following code.
[src/styles/styles.css]
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-layouts/styles/material.css';
Add avatar into the application
Add an HTML span element with e-avatar
class into your index.html
.
[src/index.html]
<span class="e-avatar">GR</span>
Run the application
Run the application in the browser using the following command.
npm start
The following example shows a basic avatar component.
