Getting started in EJ2 TypeScript Message control
29 Jul 20235 minutes to read
This section explains the steps required to create a simple JavaScript Message control and configure its available functionalities in the TypeScript using the Essential JS 2 quickstart seed repository. This seed repository is pre-configured with all the Essential JS 2 packages.
Dependencies
The following list of dependencies are required to use the Message control in the application.
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-notifications
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
Setup for local development
To get started with the Message control, clone the Essential JS 2 quickstart
project, and install the necessary npm packages by using the following command line scripts.
git clone https://github.com/syncfusion/ej2-quickstart.git quickstart
cd quickstart
npm install
Configuring system JS
The Syncfusion Message packages should be mapped in the system.config.js
configuration file.
System.config({
paths: {
'npm:': './node_modules/',
'syncfusion:': 'npm:@syncfusion/'
},
map: {
app: 'app',
//Syncfusion packages mapping
"@syncfusion/ej2-base": "syncfusion:ej2-base/dist/ej2-base.umd.min.js",
"@syncfusion/ej2-buttons":"syncfusion:ej2-buttons/dist/ej2-buttons.umd.min.js",
"@syncfusion/ej2-popups":"syncfusion:ej2-popups/dist/ej2-popups.umd.min.js",
"@syncfusion/ej2-notifications":"syncfusion:ej2-notifications/dist/ej2-notifications.umd.min.js"
},
packages: {
'app': { main: 'app', defaultExtension: 'js' }
}
});
System.import('app');
Adding CSS reference
The combined CSS files are available in the Essential JS 2 package root folder. This can be referenced in the [src/styles/styles.css]
file using the following code.
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-notifications/styles/material.css';
To add the individual control CSS, refer to the individual control theme section. To use the combined control styles, make use of Syncfusion
CRG
(Custom Resource Generator) in the application.
Add Message control
Now, start adding the Essential JS 2 Message control to the application. To get started, add the HTML <div>
element to the index.html
file.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Essential JS 2 Message control</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<meta name="description" content="Essential JS 2 Message" />
<meta name="author" content="Syncfusion" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="resources/favicon.ico" />
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="/styles/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />
</head>
<body>
<!--Element which will render as Message-->
<div id="msg"></div>
</body>
</html>
Add the following code in the app.ts
file to convert the div
element to message control.
[src/app/app.ts]
import { Message } from '@syncfusion/ej2-notifications'
let msgObj: Message = new Message({
content: 'Please read the comments carefully'
});
msgObj.appendTo('#msg');
Run the application
Run the application in the browser using the following command.
npm start
The following example shows a basic Message control.
<html>
<head>
<title>Essential JS 2 Message control</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
<meta name="description" content="Essential JS 2 Message control" />
<meta name="author" content="Syncfusion" />
<link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/23.1.36/material.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/systemjs/0.19.38/system.js"></script>
<script src="systemjs.config.js"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/syncfusion-helper.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id='loader'>LOADING....</div>
<div id='container'>
<div class="msg-default">
<div id='msg'></div>
</div>
</div>
<style>
/* Sample level styles */
.msg-default .e-message {
margin: 100px;
}
</style>
</body>
</html>
