Ngx Bootstrap Environment Setup
Ngx Bootstrap Environment
You will learn in detail about setting up the ngx-bootstrap working environment on your local computer in this chapter. Make sure you have Node.js and npm and angular enabled on your system, as ngx-bootstrap is mainly for angular projects.
Create an angular project
To test ngx-bootstrap components using the following commands, first build an angular project.
ng new ngxbootstrap
An angular project named ngxbootstrap will be developed.
Add ngx-bootstrap as dependency
The following command can be used to instal ngx-bootstrap for a newly developed project.
npm install ngx-bootstrap
The following performance can be observed once ngx-bootstrap is installed successfully.
+ ngx-bootstrap@5.6.1 added 1 package from 1 contributor and audited 1454 packages in 16.743s
Now, to evaluate if bootstrap works fine with Node.js, use the following command to build a test component –
ng g component test CREATE src/app/test/test.component.html (19 bytes) CREATE src/app/test/test.component.spec.ts (614 bytes) CREATE src/app/test/test.component.ts (267 bytes) CREATE src/app/test/test.component.css (0 bytes) UPDATE src/app/app.module.ts (388 bytes)
Clear and update the content of app.component.html with the following content.
app.component.html
<app-test></app-test>
Update the content of app.module.ts to include the Accordion Module ngx-bootstrap. In subsequent chapters, we'll add other modules. Update the subsequent content.
app.module.ts
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { TestComponent } from './test/test.component';
import { AccordionModule } from 'ngx-bootstrap/accordion'
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
TestComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserAnimationsModule,
BrowserModule,
AccordionModule.forRoot()
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
Updating the index.html content to include bootstrap.css. Update the subsequent content.
index.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Ngxbootstrap</title>
<base href="/">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
<app-root></app-root>
</body>
</html>
</pre>
We'll update the test component to use the ngx-bootstrap component in the next chapter.
