22 Jul 2021 / 3 minutes to read

The following section explains the required steps to build the simple ListView component with its basic usage in step-by-step procedure.

Installation and configuration

You can use Vue CLI to setup your vue applications. To install Vue CLI use the following command.

npm install -g @vue/cli

To setup basic sample use the following Vue CLI commands.

vue create quickstart

Install Syncfusion ListView packages using below command.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-vue-lists --save

Registering ListView component using `Vue.use()`

Import the ListView Plugin from the Essential JS 2 Vue package and register the same using Vue.use() with Component Plugin as its argument.

Refer to the code snippet given below.

import { ListViewPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lists';

Vue.use(ListViewPlugin);

By registering component plugin in Vue, all child directives are also globally registered. We can also use Vue.Component() to register ListView. Refer here to know more about component registration.

Initialize ListView

Add the EJ2 Vue ListView using <ejs-listview> to the <template> section of the App.vue file in src directory.

<template>
<div id="app">
<img src="./assets/logo.png">
<ejs-listview id='flat-list'></ejs-listview>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { ListViewPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lists';

Vue.use(ListViewPlugin);

export default {
  name: 'app'
}
</script>

Bind data source

Populate the data in ListView by using the dataSource property. Here, an array of JSON values are passed to the ListView component as dataSource in data option inside the <script> section.

<template>
<div id="app">
<img src="./assets/logo.png">
<ejs-listview id='flat-list' :dataSource='dataSource'></ejs-listview>
  </div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { ListViewPlugin } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lists';

Vue.use(ListViewPlugin);

export default {
  name: 'app',
   data () {
return {
   dataSource : [
    { text: 'Hennessey Venom', id: 'list-01' },
    { text: 'Bugatti Chiron', id: 'list-02' },
    { text: 'Bugatti Veyron Super Sport', id: 'list-03' },
    { text: 'SSC Ultimate Aero', id: 'list-04' },
    { text: 'Koenigsegg CCR', id: 'list-05' },
    { text: 'McLaren F1', id: 'list-06' },
    { text: 'Aston Martin One- 77', id: 'list-07' },
    { text: 'Jaguar XJ220', id: 'list-08' },
    { text: 'McLaren P1', id: 'list-09' },
    { text: 'Ferrari LaFerrari', id: 'list-10' },
  ]
}
  }
}
</script>

Adding CSS Reference

Add ListView component’s styles as given below in <style> section of the App.vue file.

<style>
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-vue-lists/styles/material.css";
</style>

Run the application

Now run the npm run dev command in the console, it will build your application and open in the browser.
