This chapter I am going to explain how you can do the styling to our flower store app. There are different kind of CSS frameworks you can use to style you app.

Such as:

1.       Angular Material

2.       ngx-bootstrap

3.       NG bootstrap

4.       Prime NG

 

I am planning to use PrimeNG styling framework to style our flower store app.

PrimeNG has more than 80 UI component and it is a collection of rich UI components for Angular. All widgets are open source and free to use under MIT License.

 

How to Install Prime NG

1.   Run  

npm install primeng –save

 inside your root folder.

       

        

2.       Run

npm install primeicons –save

to install prime icons.

3.       Run

npm install font-awesome --save

to Install Font Awesome

4.       Run

npm install @angular/cdk –save

to install angular  component dev kit.

Now we are done with installing Prime NG to out flower store app. If you check your package json you will see below list of libraries.

Add below code to your angualr.json file style section.    

       

"styles": [
              "src/styles.scss",
              "./node_modules/primeicons/primeicons.css",
              "./node_modules/primeng/resources/themes/nova-light/theme.css",
             "./node_modules/primeng/resources/primeng.min.css"
            ],

If you are using Angular 8 after above installation you will get error 

Broswerslist: caniuse-lite is outdated. Please run next command `npm update' 
node_modules/primeng/api/megamenuitem.d.ts(30,27): error TS2304: Cannot find name 'QueryParamsHandling'.

node_modules/primeng/api/menuitem.d.ts(1,10): error TS2305: Module '"../../@angular/router/router"' has no exported member 'QueryParamsHandling'.

     when you run ng serve command. 

This is because there is a mismatch between the Angular version and the PrimeNG version. To resolve this, you can run below two commands to uninstall current version and install Angular 8 compatible PrimeNG version.

npm uninstall primeng

npm install primeng@8.0.1

 

Now you are ready to use PrimeNg to style your flower store app.
