Angular 11 Accordion – Introduction

The Angular 11 Accordion used in this project is created from the Syncfusion `ej2-angular-accordion` package. You can simply define it as <ejs-accordion> within the template.

Dependencies

Before starting with this project, the Angular 11 Accordion 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@11.2.3

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 corresponding angular version number.

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

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

ng new angular11-app

cd angular11-app

Install the ej2-angular-navigations package through the npm install command.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations --save

Adding Angular 11 Accordion

You can add the Angular 11 Accordion component by using `ejs-accordion` directive and the attributes used within this tag allows you to define other accordion functionalities.

Import the AccordionModule into app.module.ts file from the ej2-angular-navigations package.
The next step in Angular Accordion 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 { AccordionModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-navigations';

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

 

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

 

@NgModule({

    imports: [

        BrowserModule, AccordionModule

    ],

    providers: [ ],

    bootstrap: [AppComponent]

})

export class AppModule { }

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

[app.component.html]

<ejs-accordion>

  <e-accordionitems>

    <e-accordionitem expanded='true'>

      <ng-template #header>

        <div>ASP.NET</div>

      </ng-template>

      <ng-template #content>

        <div>Microsoft ASP.NET is a set of technologies in the Microsoft .NET Framework for building Web applications

          and XML Web services.

          the model, the view, and the controller.

        </div>

      </ng-template>

    </e-accordionitem>

    <e-accordionitem>

      <ng-template #header>

        <div>JavaScript</div>

      </ng-template>

      <ng-template #content>

        <div>JavaScript (JS) is an interpreted computer programming language. It was originally implemented as part of

          web browsers so that client-side scripts could interact with the user, control the browser, communicate

          asynchronously, and

          alter the document content that was displayed.

        </div>

      </ng-template>

    </e-accordionitem>

  </e-accordionitems>

</ejs-accordion>
