System.config({
paths: {
    'syncfusion:': './node_modules/@syncfusion/',
},
map: {
    app: 'app',

    //Syncfusion packages mapping
    "@syncfusion/ej2-base": "syncfusion:ej2-base/dist/ej2-base.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-data": "syncfusion:ej2-data/dist/ej2-data.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-navigations": "syncfusion:ej2-navigations/dist/ej2-navigations.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-inputs": "syncfusion:ej2-inputs/dist/ej2-inputs.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-popups": "syncfusion:ej2-popups/dist/ej2-popups.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-buttons": "syncfusion:ej2-buttons/dist/ej2-buttons.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-lists": "syncfusion:ej2-lists/dist/ej2-lists.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons": "syncfusion:ej2-splitbuttons/dist/ej2-splitbuttons.umd.min.js",
    "@syncfusion/ej2-barcode-generator": "syncfusion:ej2-barcode-generator/dist/ej2-barcode-generator.umd.min.js",
},
packages: {
    'app': { main: 'app', defaultExtension: 'js' }
}
});

The project is preconfigured with common settings (src/styles/styles.css, system.config.js) to start with all Essential JS 2 components.

Add Barcode to the project

Add the HTML div element for the Barcode into your index.html. [src/index.html]

</head>

<body>
 <!--container which is going to render the Barcode-->
 <div id='container'>
 </div>
</body>

</html>

Now, import the Barcode component into your app.ts to instantiate a Barcode and append the diagram instance to the #container. [src/app/app.ts]

The following example shows a basic Barcode.

        padding-top: 9%;
    }

    <div id='loader'>Loading....</div>
    <div id='container'class="barcodeStyle">
        <div id='element'></div>
    </div>
</body>

</html>

Now, the npm run start command is used to run the application in the browser.
