Angular 6 Tab – Introduction

The Angular 6 Tab used in this project is created from the Syncfusion `ej2-angular-tab` package. You can simply define it as <ejs-tab> within the template.

Dependencies

Before starting with this project, the Angular 6 Tab requires to add the Syncfusion `ej2-angular-navigations` package from npmjs, which are distributed in npm as @syncfusion scoped packages.

Creating Angular Project

We will see the Angular project creation steps using the Angular CLI tool.

Install the Angular CLI application in your machine.
```
npm install -g @angular/cli@6.2.7
```

Now create a new Angular project by using the command `ng new` and navigate to that folder.
```
ng new <project name>
cd <project name>
```

Install the ej2-angular-navigations package through the npm install command.
```
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations --save
```

Adding Angular 6 Tab

You can add the Angular 6 Tab component by using `ejs-tab` directive and the attributes used within this tag allows you to define other tab functionalities.

Import the TabModule into app.module.ts file from the ej2-angular-navigations package.
The next step in Angular Tab creation is to import and inject the other required modules within the providers section of app.module.ts.

[app.module.ts]

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { TabModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
 
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
 
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule, TabModule
    ],
    providers: [],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Define the Angular Tab code within the app.component.html file which is mapped against the templateUrl option in app.component.ts file.

[app.component.html]

<ejs-tab id="element">
  <e-tabitems>
    <e-tabitem [header]='headerText[0]'>
