Angular UI Components

Introduction

Build modern Web Apps with jQWidgets and Angular. jQWidgets Angular UI components will help you to build perfect looking web applications. Use the most advanced UI framework for Angular and save your time for the business logic. Choose from more than 60 UI components for Angular.

Highlights

Angular is a development platform for building mobile and desktop web applications. It provides a way to build apps for any deployment target by reusing existing code. Using HTML as the template language, Angular offers developers the possiblity to create their own components. We created multiple components by using Angular, Typescript and the jQWidgets framework. The Typescript files for all Angular UI components are located in the jqwidgets-ts folder of the download package.

Getting Started

Getting Started documentation about using our components is available on: jQWidgets Components for Angular

Quick Start

The goal in this guide is to build and run a simple Angular application in TypeScript, using the Angular CLI and jQWidgets.

Step 1. Set up the Development Environment


Install Node.js and npm if they are not already on your machine.

Verify that you are running at least Node.js version 8.x or greater and npm version 5.x or greater by running node -v and npm -v in a terminal/console window.

Then install the Angular CLI globally.

   
npm install -g @angular/cli         
            

Step 2. Create a new project


Open a terminal window.

Generate a new project and default app by running the following command:

ng new my-app
           

The Angular CLI installs the necessary npm packages, creates the project files, and populates the project with a simple default app. This can take some time.

Step 3: Serve the application


Go to the project directory.

cd my-app

Install the jqwidgets-ng dependency

npm install jqwidgets-ng

Open the angular.json file and inside the styles property add this line:

"node_modules/jqwidgets-ng/jqwidgets/styles/jqx.base.css"
Launch the server.
ng serve --open
            

The ng serve command launches the server, watches your files, and rebuilds the app as you make changes to those files.
Using the --open (or just -o) option will automatically open your browser on http://localhost:4200/.
Your app greets you with a message.

Step 4: Edit your first Angular component


The CLI created the first Angular component for you. This is the root component and it is named app-root. You can find it in ./src/app/app.component.ts. We will use jqxBarGaugeComponent so we will add a property named values.

Open the component file and replace the code with the code below.

src/app/app.component.ts

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
 
export class AppComponent {
    values: number[] = [102, 115, 130, 137];
}

src/app/app.component.html


Open src/app/app.component.html and give the component the following html

<jqxBarGauge 
[width]="600" [height]="600" [max]="150"
[colorScheme]="'scheme02'" [values]="values">
</jqxBarGauge>

src/app/app.module.ts


Open src/app/app.module.ts and import jqxBarGaugeComponent

import { NgModule }   from '@angular/core';  
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';  
import { jqxBarGaugeModule }  from 'jqwidgets-ng/jqxbargauge';  
import { AppComponent }     from './app.component';  
@NgModule({  
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],  
  imports: [ BrowserModule, jqxBarGaugeModule ],  
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]  
})  
export class AppModule {}  				
				

Result is displayed on: localhost:4200

Project File Overview



File Purpose

app/app.component.{ts,html,css,spec.ts}

Defines the AppComponent along with an HTML template, CSS stylesheet, and a unit test. It is the root component of what will become a tree of nested components as the application evolves.

app/app.module.ts

Defines AppModule, the root module that tells Angular how to assemble the application. Right now it declares only the AppComponent. Soon there will be more components to declare.

assets/*

A folder where you can put images and anything else to be copied wholesale when you build your application.

environments/*

This folder contains one file for each of your destination environments, each exporting simple configuration variables to use in your application. The files are replaced on-the-fly when you build your app. You might use a different API endpoint for development than you do for production or maybe different analytics tokens. You might even use some mock services. Either way, the CLI has you covered.

browserslist

A configuration file to share target browsers between different front-end tools.

favicon.ico

Every site wants to look good on the bookmark bar. Get started with your very own Angular icon.

index.html

The main HTML page that is served when someone visits your site. Most of the time you'll never need to edit it. The CLI automatically adds all js and css files when building your app so you never need to add any <script> or <link> tags here manually.

karma.conf.js

Unit test configuration for the Karma test runner, used when running ng test.

main.ts

The main entry point for your app. Compiles the application with the JIT compiler and bootstraps the application's root module (AppModule) to run in the browser. You can also use the AOT compiler without changing any code by appending the--aot flag to the ng build and ng serve commands.

polyfills.ts

Different browsers have different levels of support of the web standards. Polyfills help normalize those differences. You should be pretty safe with core-js and zone.js, but be sure to check out the Browser Support guide for more information.

styles.css

Your global styles go here. Most of the time you'll want to have local styles in your components for easier maintenance, but styles that affect all of your app need to be in a central place.

test.ts

This is the main entry point for your unit tests. It has some custom configuration that might be unfamiliar, but it's not something you'll need to edit.

tsconfig.{app|spec}.json

TypeScript compiler configuration for the Angular app (tsconfig.app.json) and for the unit tests (tsconfig.spec.json).

tslint.json

Additional Linting configuration for TSLint together with Codelyzer, used when running ng lint. Linting helps keep your code style consistent.

e2e/

Inside e2e/ live the end-to-end tests. They shouldn't be inside src/ because e2e tests are really a separate app that just so happens to test your main app. That's also why they have their own tsconfig.e2e.json.

node_modules/

Node.js creates this folder and puts all third party modules listed in package.json inside of it.

.editorconfig

Simple configuration for your editor to make sure everyone that uses your project has the same basic configuration. Most editors support an .editorconfig file. See http://editorconfig.org for more information.

.gitignore

Git configuration to make sure autogenerated files are not committed to source control.

angular.json

Configuration for Angular CLI. In this file you can set several defaults and also configure what files are included when your project is built. Check out the official documentation if you want to know more.

package.json

npm configuration listing the third party packages your project uses. You can also add your own custom scripts here.

protractor.conf.js

End-to-end test configuration for Protractor, used when running ng e2e.

README.md

Basic documentation for your project, pre-filled with CLI command information. Make sure to enhance it with project documentation so that anyone checking out the repo can build your app!

tsconfig.json

TypeScript compiler configuration for your IDE to pick up and give you helpful tooling.

tslint.json

Linting configuration for TSLint together with Codelyzer, used when running ng lint. Linting helps keep your code style consistent.
