Display items count in group header in EJ2 TypeScript ListView control

22 Feb 20256 minutes to read

The ListView control supports grouping list items based on categories. The category of each list item can be mapped with the groupBy field of the data source. You can display the count of grouped list items in the list header using the group header template. Refer to the following code sample to display the count of grouped list items.

import { ListView } from '@syncfusion/ej2-lists';

let template: string = '<div class="e-list-wrapper e-list-multi-line e-list-avatar">' +
    '<img class="e-avatar e-avatar-circle" src=${image} style="background:#BCBCBC" />' +
    '<span class="e-list-item-header">${Name}</span>' +
    '<span class="e-list-content">${contact}</span>' +
    '</div>';

//Define an array of JSON data
let dataSource: { [key: string]: string }[] = [
    { Name: 'Nancy', contact: '(206) 555-985774', id: '1', image: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/grid/images/1.png', category: 'Experience' },
    { Name: 'Janet', contact: '(206) 555-3412', id: '2', image: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/grid/images/3.png', category: 'Fresher' },
    { Name: 'Margaret', contact: '(206) 555-8122', id: '4', image: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/grid/images/4.png', category: 'Experience' },
    { Name: 'Andrew ', contact: '(206) 555-9482', id: '5', image: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/grid/images/2.png', category: 'Experience' },
    { Name: 'Steven', contact: '(71) 555-4848', id: '6', image: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/grid/images/5.png', category: 'Fresher' },
    { Name: 'Michael', contact: '(71) 555-7773', id: '7', image: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/grid/images/6.png', category: 'Experience' },
    { Name: 'Robert', contact: '(71) 555-5598', id: '8', image: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/grid/images/7.png', category: 'Fresher' },
    { Name: 'Laura', contact: '(206) 555-1189', id: '9', image: 'https://ej2.syncfusion.com/demos/src/grid/images/8.png', category: 'Experience' },
];

// Initialize the ListView control
let listObj: ListView = new ListView({

    //Set the defined data to the data source property
    dataSource: dataSource,

    //Map the appropriate columns to the fields property
    fields: { text: 'Name', groupBy: 'category' },

    //set cssClass for template customization
    cssClass: 'e-list-template',

    //Set the customized template
    template: template,
    groupTemplate: '<div><span class="category">${items[0].category}</span> <span class="count"> ${items.length} Item(s)</span></div> ',

    height: 380,

});

//Render the initialized ListView control
listObj.appendTo('#List');
