control Initialization

The Essential® JS 2 JavaScript controls can be initialized by using either of the following ways.

  • Using local script and style references in a HTML page.
  • Using CDN link for script and style reference.

Using local script and style references in a HTML page

Step 1: Create an app folder myapp for Essential® JS 2 JavaScript controls.

Step 2: You can get the global scripts and styles from the Essential Studio® JavaScript (Essential® JS 2) build installed location.

Syntax:

Script: **(installed location)**/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/{RELEASE_VERSION}/Essential JS 2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Styles: **(installed location)**/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/{RELEASE_VERSION}/Essential JS 2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Example:

Script: C:/Program Files (x86)/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/15.4.17/Essential JS 2/ej2-lists/dist/global/ej2-lists.min.js

Styles: C:/Program Files (x86)/Syncfusion/Essential Studio/15.4.17/Essential JS 2/ej2-lists/styles/material.css

Step 3: Create a folder myapp/resources and copy/paste the global scripts and styles from the above installed location to myapp/resources location.

Step 4: Create a HTML page (index.html) in myapp location and add the Essential® JS 2 script and style references.

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>Essential JS 2</title>
            <!-- Essential JS 2 material theme -->
            <link href="resources/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- Essential JS 2 List's global script -->
            <script src="resources/ej2-lists.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 5: Now, add the ListView element and initiate the Essential® JS 2 ListView control in the index.html by using following code

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>Essential JS 2</title>
            <!-- Essential JS 2 material theme -->
            <ink href="resources/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- Essential JS 2 List's global script -->
            <script src="resources/ej2-lists.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
            <!-- Add the HTML <div> element  -->
             <div id='element'></div>
            <script>
               //define the array of string
                var arts = ["Artwork", "Abstract", "Modern Painting", "Ceramics", "Animation Art", "Oil Painting"];
                // Initialize Essential JS 2 JavaScript ListView control
                var listviewInstance = new ej.lists.ListView({
                    //set the data to datasource property
                    dataSource: arts
                });
                //Render initialized ListView
                listviewInstance.appendTo("#element");
            </script>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 6: Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Essential® JS 2 ListView control.

Step 1: Create an app folder myapp for the Essential® JS 2 JavaScript controls.

Step 2: The Essential® JS 2 control’s global scripts and styles are already hosted in the below CDN link formats.

Syntax:

Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Styles: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Example:

Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-lists/dist/global/ej2-lists.min.js

Styles: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-lists/styles/material.css

Step 3: Create a HTML page (index.html) in myapp location and add the CDN link references. Now, add the ListView element and initiate the Essential® JS 2 List control in the index.html by using following code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
   <head>
                
        <title>Essential JS 2</title>
        <!-- Essential JS 2 material theme -->
        <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.2.4/ej2-base/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
        <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.2.4/ej2-lists/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
        <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.2.4/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

        <!-- Essential JS 2 List's global script -->
        <script src="//cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/21.2.3/dist/ej2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
   <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/syncfusion-helper.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
   <body>
       <!-- Add the HTML <div> element  -->
        <div id='element'></div>
        <script>
            //define the array of string
            var arts = ["Artwork", "Abstract", "Modern Painting", "Ceramics", "Animation Art", "Oil Painting"];
            // Initialize Essential JS 2 JavaScript ListView control
            var listviewInstance = new ej.lists.ListView({
                //set the data to datasource property
                dataSource: arts
            });
            //Render initialized ListView
            listviewInstance.appendTo("#element");
        </script>
   </body>
  </html>

Step 4: Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Essential® JS 2 ListView control.

Need to refer dependency control styles and scripts as like above example. We can also use CRG to generate combined control styles.
