The following section explains the required steps to build the simple ListView component with its basic usage in step by step procedure.
Dependencies
Install the below required dependent packages to render the ListView component.
+-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-lists
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-lists
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
Installation and Configuration
You can use create-react-app
to setup the applications. To install create-react-app
run the following command.
npm install -g create-react-app
To set-up a React application in TypeScript environment, run the following command.
npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript
cd my-app
npm start
To set-up a React application in JavaScript environment, run the following command.
npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start
Adding Syncfusion packages
All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com
public registry. Now, we are going to render
ListView
component from these packages.
To install ListView
component, use the following command.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-lists --save
The above command installs ListView dependencies which are required to render the component in the React
environment.
Adding ListView component
Now, you can add ListView
component in the application. For getting started, add ListView
component in src/App.tsx
file using the following code snippet.
import * as React from 'react';
import { ListViewComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-lists';
import './App.css';
function App() {
return (
//specifies the tag to render the ListView component
<ListViewComponent id='list' />
);
}
export default App;
import * as React from 'react';
import { ListViewComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-lists';
import './App.css';
function App() {
return (
//specifies the tag to render the ListView component
<ListViewComponent id='list'/>);
}
export default App;
Adding CSS Reference
Import ListView
component required theme references at the top of src/App.css
.
/* import the ListView dependency styles */
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-react-lists/styles/material.css";
If you are using CheckList
behavior in ListView, we need to add Button
component’s styles as given below in src/App.css
file
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css";
Bind dataSource
Populate the data in ListView using dataSource
property. Here, an array of JSON values passed to ListView
component.
import * as React from 'react';
import { ListViewComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-lists';
import './App.css';
function App() {
// define the array of Json
let arts: { [key: string]: string }[] = [
{ text: 'Artwork', id: '01' },
{ text: 'Abstract', id: '02' },
{ text: 'Modern Painting', id: '03' },
{ text: 'Ceramics', id: '04' },
{ text: 'Animation Art', id: '05' },
{ text: 'Oil Painting', id: '06' }];
return (
// specifies the tag to render the ListView component
<ListViewComponent id="list" dataSource={arts} />
);
}
export default App;
import * as React from 'react';
import { ListViewComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-lists';
import './App.css';
function App() {
// define the array of Json
let arts = [
{ text: 'Artwork', id: '01' },
{ text: 'Abstract', id: '02' },
{ text: 'Modern Painting', id: '03' },
{ text: 'Ceramics', id: '04' },
{ text: 'Animation Art', id: '05' },
{ text: 'Oil Painting', id: '06' }
];
return (
// specifies the tag to render the ListView component
<ListViewComponent id="list" dataSource={arts}/>);
}
export default App;
Running the application
Now use the npm start
command to run the application in the browser.
npm start
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { ListViewComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-lists';
function App() {
// define the array of Json
let arts = [
{ text: 'Artwork', id: '01' },
{ text: 'Abstract', id: '02' },
{ text: 'Modern Painting', id: '03' },
{ text: 'Ceramics', id: '04' },
{ text: 'Animation Art', id: '05' },
{ text: 'Oil Painting', id: '06' }
];
return (
// specifies the tag to render the ListView component
<ListViewComponent id='list' dataSource={arts}></ListViewComponent>);
}
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { ListViewComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-lists';
function App() {
// define the array of Json
let arts: { [key: string]: string }[] = [
{ text: 'Artwork', id: '01' },
{ text: 'Abstract', id: '02' },
{ text: 'Modern Painting', id: '03' },
{ text: 'Ceramics', id: '04' },
{ text: 'Animation Art', id: '05' },
{ text: 'Oil Painting', id: '06' }];
return (
// specifies the tag to render the ListView component
<ListViewComponent id='list' dataSource={arts} ></ListViewComponent>
);
}
export default App;
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('element'));
