Integration of Angular Word Processor a.k.a Document Editor

The —save command will instruct the NPM to include a document editor package inside the dependencies section of the package.json.

2. Import DocumentEditorContainerAllModule from installed package in app/app.module.ts.

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { DocumentEditorContainerAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-documenteditor';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

 

@NgModule({

  declarations: [

    AppComponent

  ],

  imports: [

    BrowserModule, DocumentEditorContainerAllModule

  ],

  providers: [],

  bootstrap: [AppComponent]

})

export class AppModule { }

@Component({

  selector: 'app-root',

  templateUrl: './app.component.html',

  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],

  providers: [ToolbarService]

})

export class AppComponent {

  title = 'angular7-app';

  public serviceLink: string;

  ngOnInit() {

    //Service URL is required for opening word documents in DocumentEditor

    //Documentation link: https://ej2.syncfusion.com/angular/documentation/document-editor/import/?no-cache=1#convert-word-documents-into-sfdt

    this.serviceLink = 'https://services.syncfusion.com/angular/production/api/documenteditor/';

  }

}

   <ejs-documenteditorcontainer #documenteditor_default [serviceUrl]='serviceLink' style="display:block;height:600px"></ejs-documenteditorcontainer>
