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.
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-popupsTo 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 installThe 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');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.
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" />

<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 in the browser using the following command.
npm startThe following example shows a basic Message control.
