You can customize the ListView using the template property. Refer to the following steps to customize ListView as mobile contact view with our ej2-avatar.

  • Render the ListView with dataSource that has avatar data. You can set avatar data as either text or class names. Refer to the following codes.
let dataSource: { [key: string]: Object }[] = [
  {
    text: "Jenifer", contact: "(206) 555-985774", id: "1", avatar: "", pic: "pic01"
  },
  {
    text: "Amenda", contact: "(206) 555-3412", id: "2", avatar: "A", pic: ""
  }
];
  • Set avatar classes in ListView template to customize contact icon. In the following codes, medium size avatar has been set using the class name e-avatar e-avatar-circle from data source.
  template: '<div class="e-list-wrapper e-list-multi-line e-list-avatar">' +
    '${if(avatar!=="")}' +
    '<span class="e-avatar e-avatar-circle">${avatar}</span>' +
    '${else}' +
    '<span class="${pic} e-avatar e-avatar-circle"> </span>' +
    '${/if}' +
    '<span class="e-list-item-header">${text}</span>' +
    '<span class="e-list-content">${contact}</span>' +
    '</div>';

Avatars can be set in different sizes in avatar classes. To know more about avatar classes, refer to Avatar.

var template = '<div class="e-list-wrapper e-list-multi-line e-list-avatar">' +
    '${if(avatar!=="")}' +
    '<span class="e-avatar e-avatar-circle">${avatar}</span>' +
    '${else}' +
    '<span class="${pic} e-avatar e-avatar-circle"> </span>' +
    '${/if}' +
    '<span class="e-list-item-header">${text}</span>' +
    '<span class="e-list-content">${contact}</span>' +
