control Initialization

The Essential® JS 2 JavaScript controls can be initialized by using either of the following ways.

  • Using local script and style references in a HTML page.
  • Using CDN link for script and style reference.

Using local script and style references in a HTML page

Step 1: Create an app folder myapp for Essential® JS 2 JavaScript controls.

Step 2: You can get the global scripts and styles from the Essential Studio® JavaScript (Essential® JS 2) build installed location.

Syntax:

Script: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\{PACKAGE_NAME}\dist\global\{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Styles: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\{PACKAGE_NAME}\styles\material.css

Example:

Script: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\16.3.0.17\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-inputs\dist\global\ej2-inputs.min.js

Styles: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\16.3.0.17\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-inputs\styles\material.css

The below located script and style file contains all Syncfusion® JavaScript (ES5) UI control resources in a single file.

Scripts: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2\dist\ej2.min.js

Styles: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2\material.css

Step 3: Create a folder myapp/resources and copy/paste the global scripts and styles from the above installed location to myapp/resources location.

Step 4: Create a HTML page (index.html) in myapp location and add the Essential® JS 2 script and style references.

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>Essential JS 2 Range Slider control</title>
            <!-- Essential JS 2 material theme -->
            <link href="resources/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- Essential JS 2 Inputs's global and dependent script -->
            <script src="resources/ej2-base.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
            <script src="resources/ej2-inputs.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 5: Now, add the Slider element and initiate the Essential® JS 2 Range Slider control in the index.html by using following code

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>Essential JS 2 Range Slider control</title>
            <!-- Essential JS 2 material theme -->
            <link href="resources/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- Essential JS 2 Inputs's global and dependent script -->
            <script src="resources/ej2-base.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
            <script src="resources/ej2-inputs.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
            <!-- Add the HTML <div> element  -->
            <div id='element'></div>
            <script>
               // Initialize Essential JS 2 JavaScript Range Slider control
               var sliderInstance = new ej.inputs.Slider({ value: 30 });
               //Render initialized Range Slider
               sliderInstance.appendTo("#element");
            </script>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 6: Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Essential® JS 2 Range Slider control.

Step 1: Create an app folder myapp for the Essential® JS 2 JavaScript controls.

Step 2: The Essential® JS 2 control’s global scripts and styles are already hosted in the below CDN link formats.

Syntax:

Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Styles: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Example:

Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-inputs/dist/global/ej2-inputs.min.js

Styles: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css

Step 3: Create a HTML page (index.html) in myapp location and add the CDN link references. Now, add the Slider element and initiate the Essential® JS 2 Range Slider control in the index.html by using following code.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
     <title>Essential JS 2 Range Slider control</title>
     <!-- Essential JS 2 material theme -->
     <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.1.33/ej2-base/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
     <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.1.33/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet"
          type="text/css" />
     <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.1.33/ej2-popups/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet"
          type="text/css" />
     <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.1.33/ej2-inputs/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet"
          type="text/css" />
     <!-- Essential JS 2 Input's global script -->
     <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.1.33/ej2-base/dist/global/ej2-base.min.js"
          type="text/javascript"></script>
     <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.1.33/ej2-buttons/dist/global/ej2-buttons.min.js"
          type="text/javascript"></script>
     <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.1.33/ej2-popups/dist/global/ej2-popups.min.js"
          type="text/javascript"></script>
     <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/29.1.33/ej2-inputs/dist/global/ej2-inputs.min.js"
          type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/syncfusion-helper.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body>
     <div class='wrap'>
          <!-- Add the HTML <div> element  -->
          <div id='element'></div>
     </div>
     <script>
          // Initialize Essential JS 2 JavaScript Slider control
          var sliderInstance = new ej.inputs.Slider({ value: 30 });
          //Render initialized Range Slider Control
          sliderInstance.appendTo("#element");
     </script>
     <style>
          .wrap {
               box-sizing: border-box;
               height: 140px;
               margin: 100px auto;
               padding: 30px 10px;
          }
     </style>
</body>

</html>
#container {
  visibility: hidden;
}

#loader {
  color: #008cff;
  font-family: 'Helvetica Neue','calibiri';
  font-size: 14px;
  height: 40px;
  left: 45%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 45%;
  width: 30%;
}

Step 4: Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Essential® JS 2 Range Slider control.

Need to refer dependency control styles and scripts as like above example. We can also use CRG to generate combined control styles.
