How to get started easily with Syncfusion Angular 11 Color Picker?

A quick start project that helps you to create an Angular 11 Color Picker with a minimal code configurations.

The following section explains you how to create a simple angular 11 Color Picker component.

Prerequisites

Before start, we need following items to create Angular Color Picker in Angular 11 application

• Node.js (latest version)
• Angular 11
• Angular CLI
• TypeScript 4+
• Visual Studio Code for Editor

Dependencies

The angular 11 Color Picker is created from the Syncfusion ej2-angular-inputs package from npmjs, which are distributed in npm as @syncfusion scoped packages.

Creating Angular Project

1. Install Angular CLI 11 using below command.

npm install -g @angular/cli@11.2.3

2. Create a new Angular 11 project using angular CLI and navigate to that folder.

ng new angular11-app
cd angular11-app

Adding Angular Color Picker

1. After running the Angular 11 application successfully, configure the Angular Color Picker in this application. Install Angular Color Picker and EJ2 package using following command. 

   npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs –save
   
   

The --save command will instruct the NPM to include a Color Picker package inside the dependencies section of the package.json.

2. Import ColorPicker from installed package.
3. Import and inject the other required modules within the providers section of app.module.ts. 

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

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

import { ColorPickerAllModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-inputs';

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

import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

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

 

enableRipple(true);

 

@NgModule({

  declarations: [

    AppComponent

  ],

  imports: [

    BrowserModule,

    FormsModule,

    ColorPickerAllModule

  ],

  providers: [],

  bootstrap: [AppComponent]

})

export class AppModule {}

4. Add the given below angular color picker’s styles in styles.css. 

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css";

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css";

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css";

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css";

5. Add the angular Color Picker component in app.component.ts

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

 

@Component({

    selector: 'app-root',

    template: `<input ejs-colorpicker type='color' id='colorpicker'/>`

})

export class AppComponent {}

6. Now serve the application using following command.

ng serve 

Once the files are compiled successfully, it will serve the site at localhost:4200

Inline Type

By default, the ColorPicker will be rendered using splitButton and open the pop-up to access the ColorPicker. To render the ColorPicker container alone and to access it directly, render it as inline. It can be achieved by setting the inline property to true.

The following sample shows the inline type rendering of ColorPicker.

[app.component.ts]

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

 

@Component({

    selector: 'app-root',

    template: `<input ejs-colorpicker type="color" id="colorpicker" [inline]= "true" [showButtons]= "false"/>`

})

export class AppComponent {}
