Quick Start

Install Syncfusion Angular Package

ng add @syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids@latest

Note: The @syncfusion/ej2-base package is a dependency for all Syncfusion components and will be automatically installed when you install any Syncfusion Angular package. You don't need to explicitly add it to your package.json file.

Install Theme Package and Import Styles

First, install the required Tailwind 3 theme package, use the following command:

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-tailwind3-theme --save

Next, import the required styles into your stylesheet:

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-tailwind3-theme/styles/grid/index.css";

Register License Key

Step 1: Set the environment variable:

# Windows
setx SYNCFUSION_LICENSE "Your_License_Key_Here"

# Mac/Linux
export SYNCFUSION_LICENSE='Your_License_Key_Here'

Step 2: Activate the license using NPX command:

npx syncfusion-license activate

Note: For alternative license registration methods, kindly refer to the Syncfusion license key registration documentation.

Basic Component Setup

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { GridModule, PageService } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-grids';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [GridModule],
  providers: [PageService],
  template: `
    <ejs-grid [dataSource]="data" [allowPaging]="true">
      <e-columns>
        <e-column field="OrderID" width="100"></e-column>
        <e-column field="CustomerID" width="100"></e-column>
        <e-column field="Freight" width="100" format="C2"></e-column>
      </e-columns>
    </ejs-grid>
  `
})
export class AppComponent {
  data = [
    { OrderID: 10248, CustomerID: 'VINET', Freight: 32.38 },
    { OrderID: 10249, CustomerID: 'TOMSP', Freight: 11.61 }
  ];
}

Common Features

Enable State Persistence

<ejs-grid 
  id="persistGrid"
  [dataSource]="data" 
  [enablePersistence]="true"
>
  <!-- Component content -->
</ejs-grid>

Enable RTL Support

import { enableRtl } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

// Global RTL enablement
enableRtl(true);

// OR per-component
<ejs-grid [dataSource]="data" enableRtl="true"></ejs-grid>

Add Animation Effects

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { Animation } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

@Component({
  template: `<div #element class="box"></div>`
})
export class AnimationComponent {
  @ViewChild('element') element!: any;

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    const animation = new Animation({ duration: 5000, delay: 2000 });
    animation.animate(this.element.nativeElement, { name: 'FadeOut' });
  }
}

Implement Drag-and-Drop

import { Component, ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { Draggable, Droppable } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

@Component({
  template: `
    <div #draggable id="draggable">Drag me</div>
    <div #droppable id="droppable">Drop here</div>
  `
})
export class DragDropComponent {
  @ViewChild('draggable') draggable!: any;
  @ViewChild('droppable') droppable!: any;

  ngAfterViewInit() {
    new Draggable(this.draggable.nativeElement, { clone: false });
    
    new Droppable(this.droppable.nativeElement, {
      drop: (e) => {
        console.log('Dropped!', e.droppedElement);
      }
    });
  }
}
