Getting started with React QueryBuilder component

18 May 2022 / 3 minutes to read

This section explains how to create and configure a simple React Query Builder component.

Dependencies

The list of dependencies required to use the Query Builder component in your application is given below:

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-querybuilder
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-querybuilder
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-datamanager
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-calenders
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-inputs
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups

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

Start a new project using create-react-app command as follows,

create-react-app quickstart --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts

cd quickstart

create-react-app quickstart

cd quickstart

Adding Syncfusion packages

All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com public registry.

To install Query Builder component, use the following command.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-querybuilder --save

‘react-scripts-ts’ is used for creating React app with typescript.

Adding Query Builder component to the Application

To include the Query Builder component in your application import the QueryBuilderComponent from ej2-react-querybuilder package in App.tsx.

Add the Query Builder component in application as shown in below code example.

import { ColumnsModel, QueryBuilderComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-querybuilder';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import * as React from 'react';

class App extends React.Component<{}, {}> {

    public columnData: ColumnsModel[] = [
        { field: 'EmployeeID', label: 'EmployeeID', type: 'number'},
        { field: 'FirstName', label: 'FirstName', type: 'string' },
        { field: 'TitleOfCourtesy', label: 'Title Of Courtesy', type: 'boolean', values: ['Mr.', 'Mrs.'] },
        { field: 'Title', label: 'Title', type: 'string' },
        { field: 'HireDate', label: 'HireDate', type: 'date', format: 'dd/MM/yyyy' },
        { field: 'Country', label: 'Country', type: 'string' },
        { field: 'City', label: 'City', type: 'string' }
    ];

    public render() {
        return (
            <QueryBuilderComponent width='100%' columns={this.columnData}/>
        );
    }
}

import { QueryBuilderComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-querybuilder';
import * as React from 'react';
class App extends React.Component {
    constructor() {
        super(...arguments);
        this.columnData = [
            { field: 'EmployeeID', label: 'EmployeeID', type: 'number' },
            { field: 'FirstName', label: 'FirstName', type: 'string' },
            { field: 'TitleOfCourtesy', label: 'Title Of Courtesy', type: 'boolean', values: ['Mr.', 'Mrs.'] },
            { field: 'Title', label: 'Title', type: 'string' },
            { field: 'HireDate', label: 'HireDate', type: 'date', format: 'dd/MM/yyyy' },
            { field: 'Country', label: 'Country', type: 'string' },
            { field: 'City', label: 'City', type: 'string' }
        ];
    }
    render() {
        return (<QueryBuilderComponent width='100%' columns={this.columnData}/>);
    }
}

Adding CSS Reference

Import the Button component’s required CSS references as follows in src/App.css.

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-lists/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-calendars/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-querybuilder/styles/material.css";

The following example shows a basic Query Builder component.
