Adding dynamic items with content reuse in Angular Tabs component

21 Dec 2022 / 2 minutes to read

You can add dynamic tabs by reusing the content using Angular TemplateRef. Tabs can be added dynamically by passing array of items and index value to the addTab method.

Content reuse can be achieved by using the following steps:

  1. Create a TemplateRef variable in your component(app.component.ts) file.
  2. Access the TemplateRef using ViewChild on the <ng-template> element.
  3. Provide separate TemplateRef declaration for each angular component and pass content by dynamically adding tab. It will reuse the content of angular component.

Refer to the following sample.

import { Component, ViewChild, OnInit, TemplateRef } from '@angular/core';
import { createElement } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { TabComponent, SelectEventArgs  } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);
