Getting started with EJ2 TypeScript Badge control

29 Jul 20262 minutes to read

This section explains how to create a simple Badge control and configure its available functionalities in TypeScript using the Essential® JS 2 quickstart seed repository.

This application is integrated with the webpack.config.js configuration and uses the latest version of the webpack-cli. It requires node v14.15.0 or higher. For more information about webpack and its features, refer to the webpack documentation.

Prerequisites

Ensure the following tools are installed on your machine:

Set up the development environment

Clone the Syncfusion® TypeScript (Essential® JS 2) quickstart project from GitHub in the command prompt:

git clone https://github.com/SyncfusionExamples/ej2-quickstart-webpack ej2-quickstart

Navigate to the project folder in the command prompt:

cd ej2-quickstart

Import Syncfusion® badge CSS styles

Syncfusion® JavaScript controls provide built-in themes, which are available from the npm theme packages. Additionally, themes can be loaded via CDN or customized using the Theme Studio. For more information, refer to the themes documentation.

The quickstart application is preconfigured to use the Fluent2 theme. To install the Fluent2 theme package, use the following command:

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-fluent2-theme --save

The required styles are imported in the ~/src/styles/styles.css file, as shown below:

@import "../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-fluent2-theme/styles/badge/index.css";

Learn more about built-in themes and individual control CSS references.

Add Syncfusion® badge control to the application

Open the application in Visual Studio Code and add the Syncfusion® JavaScript UI controls.

Add an HTML span element with e-badge class inside any wrapper element (h1) into your ~/src/index.html.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
    <title>Essential JS 2</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
</head>

<body>
     <h1>Badge Control <span class="e-badge">New</span></h1>
</body>

</html>
