Prerequisites

Before start, we need following items to create Angular Switch in Angular 7 application

Dependencies

The angular 7 Switch is created from the Syncfusion ej2-angular-buttons package from npmjs, which are distributed in npm as @syncfusion scoped packages.

Creating Angular Project

Install Angular cli 7 using following command.
```

```

Note:

If you would like to follow and run the application in Angular 6 or Angular 5 or Angular 4, you need to replace the CLI command version number with the corresponding angular version number.

npm install -g @angular/cli@<CLI VERSION>

Create a new Angular 7 project using Angular cli and navigate to that folder.
```
ng new <project name>
cd <project name>
```

Adding Angular Switch

After running the Angular 7 application successfully, configure the Angular Switch in this application. Install Angular Switch and EJ2 package using following command. The --save command will instruct the NPM to include a Switch package inside the dependencies section of the package.json.
```
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons --save
```

Import SwitchModule from installed package.

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 { SwitchModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
 
enableRipple(true);
 
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    SwitchModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

Add the given below angular Switch’s styles in styles.css.

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

Add the angular Switch component in app.component.ts.

 import { Component } from '@angular/core';
 
@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<ejs-switch [checked]='true'></ejs-switch>`
