This section explains the steps required to create a heat map and demonstrates the basic usage of the heat map control.
You can use Angular CLI to setup your Angular applications. To install Angular CLI use the following command.
npm install -g @angular/cliStart a new Angular application using below Angular CLI command.
ng new my-app
cd my-appSyncfusion packages are distributed in npm as @syncfusion scoped packages. You can get all the Angular Syncfusion package from npm link.
Currently, Syncfusion provides two types of package structures for Angular components,
Syncfusion Angular packages(>=20.2.36) has been moved to the Ivy distribution to support the Angular Ivy rendering engine and the package are compatible with Angular version 12 and above. To download the package use the below command.
Add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-heatmap package to the application.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-heatmap --saveFor Angular version below 12, you can use the legacy (ngcc) package of the Syncfusion Angular components. To download the ngcc package use the below.
Add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-heatmap@ngcc package to the application.
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-heatmap@ngcc --saveTo mention the ngcc package in the package.json file, add the suffix -ngcc with the package version as below.
@syncfusion/ej2-angular-heatmap:"20.2.38-ngcc"Note: If the ngcc tag is not specified while installing the package, the Ivy Library Package will be installed and this package will throw a warning.
@syncfusion/ej2-ng-heatmap [src/app/app.module.ts].import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
// import the HeatMapModule for the heatmap component
import { HeatMapModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-heatmap';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
//declaration of ej2-ng-heatmap module into NgModule

@Component({

})
export class AppComponent { }Now use the my-app in the index.html instead of default one.
<my-app></my-app>npm run start command to run the application in the browser.npm startThe below example shows a basic Heatmap.

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);The heat map components are segregated into individual feature-wise modules. To use its feature, you need to inject its feature module using the HeatMap.Inject() method. In the current application,the basic heat map is modified to visualize sales revenue data for week, and the tooltip and legend features of the heat map are used. Find the relevant feature modules and descriptions as follows.
LegendService - Provides the legend feature by injecting it.TooltipService - Provides the tooltip feature by injecting it.Now, import the above-mentioned modules from the heat map package and inject them into the heat map component as follows.
