14 Mar 20246 minutes to read
The Essential JS 2 for JavaScript (global script) is an ES5 formatted pure JavaScript framework that can be directly used in latest web browsers.
Control initialization
The Essential JS 2 JavaScript controls can be initialized by using any of the following two ways:
- Using local script and style references in an HTML page.
- Using CDN link for script and style reference.
Using local script and style references in an 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\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\{PACKAGE_NAME}\dist\global\{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js
Styles:
**(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\{PACKAGE_NAME}\styles\material.css
Example:
Script:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\16.3.0.17\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-layouts\dist\global\ej2-layouts.min.js
Styles:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\16.3.0.17\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-layouts\styles\material.css
The below located script and style file contains all Syncfusion JavaScript (ES5) UI control resources in a single file.
Scripts:
**(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2\dist\ej2.min.js
Styles:
**(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2\material.css
Step 3: Create a folder myapp/resources
, and copy and paste the global scripts and styles from the above installed location to myapp/resources
location.
Step 4: Create an HTML page (index.html) in myapp
location and add the Essentials 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 Timeline's global and dependent scripts -->
<script src="resources/ej2-base.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="resources/ej2-layouts.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Step 5: Now, create a div
element to apply the Essential JS 2 Timeline
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="resources/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<!-- Essential JS 2 Timeline's global and dependent scripts -->
<script src="resources/ej2-base.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="resources/ej2-layouts.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<!-- Add the div element -->
<div id="timeline"></div>
<script>
//Initialize Timeline control
var timeline = new ej.layouts.Timeline({
items: [{}, {}, {}, {}]
});
//Render initialized Timeline control
timeline.appendTo('#timeline');
</script>
</body>
</html>
Step 6: Now, run the index.html
in web browser, it will render the Essential JS 2 Timeline control.
Using CDN link for script and style reference
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 following 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:
Styles:
https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-layouts/styles/material.css
Step 3: Create an HTML page (index.html) in myapp
location and add the CDN link references. Now, add the div
element and initiate the Essential JS 2 Timeline
control in the index.html by using the following code.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Essential JS 2 - Timeline</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">
<meta name="author" content="Syncfusion">
<!-- Essential JS 2 Timeline's dependent material theme -->
<link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/27.1.48/ej2-base/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/27.1.48/ej2-layouts/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<!-- Essential JS 2 Timeline's dependent global script -->
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/27.1.48/ej2-base/dist/global/ej2-base.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/27.1.48/ej2-layouts/dist/global/ej2-layouts.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!--style reference from app-->
<link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/syncfusion-helper.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container" style="height: 300px;">
<!--Element to render the Timeline control-->
<div id="timeline"></div>
</div>
<script>
// Initialize Timeline control
var timeline = new ej.layouts.Timeline({
items: [{}, {}, {}, {}],
});
// Render initialized Timeline.
timeline.appendTo("#timeline");
</script>
</body>
</html>
Step 4: Now, run the index.html
in the web browser, it will render the Essential JS 2 Timeline
control.
