Getting started in EJ2 TypeScript Card control

7 May 20255 minutes to read

This section explains how to create a simple Card using styles by configuring the structure for the header, content, using 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.

Dependencies

The Card is pure CSS component so no other package dependencies are needed to render the Card.

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-layouts

Set up development environment

Open the command prompt from the required directory, and run the following command to clone the Syncfusion® JavaScript (Essential® JS 2) quickstart project from GitHub.

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

After cloning the application in the ej2-quickstart folder, run the following command line to navigate to the ej2-quickstart folder.

cd ej2-quickstart

Add Syncfusion® JavaScript packages

Syncfusion® JavaScript (Essential® JS 2) packages are available on the npmjs.com public registry. You can install all Syncfusion® JavaScript (Essential® JS 2) controls in a single @syncfusion/ej2 package or individual packages for each control.

The quickstart application is preconfigured with the dependent @syncfusion/ej2 package in the ~/package.json file. Use the following command to install the dependent npm packages from the command prompt.

npm install

Import the Syncfusion® CSS styles

The Card CSS files are available in the ej2-layouts package folder. This can be referenced in the ~/src/styles/styles.css file of your application using the following code.

@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-layouts/styles/material.css';

Adding a simple Card

  • Add the HTML div element with e-card class into your index.html.

[src/index.html]

<div class = "e-card">
    Sample Card
</div>

Adding a header and content

You can create Card with a header in a specific structure. For adding header you need to create a div element with e-card-header class added.

  • You can include heading inside the Card header by adding a div element with e-card-header-caption class, and also content will be added by adding element with e-card-content. For detailed information, refer to the Header and Content.
<div class = "e-card">                    --> Root Element
    <div class="e-card-header">           --> Root Header Element
        <div class="e-card-header-caption">    --> Root Heading Element
            <div class="e-card-header-title"></div>   --> Heading Title Element
        </div>
        <div class="e-card-content"></div>         --> Card content Element
    </div>
</div>
  • Now, run the application in the browser using the following command.
npm start

Output will be as follows:
