In this chapter, you will learn in detail about setting up the working environment of ngx-bootstrap on your local computer. As ngx-bootstrap is primarily for angular projects, make sure you have Node.js and npm and angular installed on your system.
Create an angular project
First create a angular project to test ngx-bootstrap components using following commands.
ng new ngxbootstrap
It will create an angular project named ngxbootstrap.
Add ngx-bootstrap as dependency
You can use the following command to install ngx-bootstrap in newly created project−
npm install ngx-bootstrap
You can observe the following output once ngx-bootstrap is successfully installed −
+ [email protected] added 1 package from 1 contributor and audited 1454 packages in 16.743s
Now, to test if bootstrap works fine with Node.js, create the test component using following command −
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 content of app.component.html and update it following contents.
app.component.html
<app-test></app-test>
Update content of app.module.ts to include ngx-bootstrap accordion module. We”ll add other module in subsequent chapters. Update it following contents.
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 { }
Update content of index.html to include bootstrap.css. Update it following contents.
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>
In next chapter, we”ll update test component to use ngx-bootstrap components.
