Please check below for different chart types organized in one project:
More details about how to work with the Chart component and its properties can be found in this document.
Common Properties
The Chart component has the following properties that apply to all chart types:
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Auto init Chart | If set to true, the Chart component is automatically initiated. |
Labels | The array of labels to display. To specify it, switch to the CODE tab, add a variable, ex. label of Any type and provide the value(s) to be displayed in the chart: For example: ['Label 1', 'Label 2', 'Label 3', 'Label 4', 'Label 5'] (for simple labels) or [ ['Label 1', 'value: 3'], 'Label 2', 'Label 3', 'Label 4', ['Label 5', 'Value: 5'] ] (for multilabels). Now, the Labels property can be defined with the label value. |
Type | Select the type of chart to be created: line (default), bar, horizontal bar, radar, pie, doughnut, polarArea, bubble, scatter,mixed. |
Responsive | Resize the chart canvas when its container does. |
Animation Duration | Duration in milliseconds it takes to animate to a new size after a resize event. |
Maintain Aspect Ratio | Maintain the original canvas aspect ratio (width / height) when resizing. |
Aspect Ratio | Canvas aspect ratio (i.e. width / height, a value of 1 representing a square canvas). Note that this option is ignored if the height is explicitly defined either as an attribute or via the style. |
Show Advanced Properties | If set to true, the advanced chart properties can be accessed: - All - all the advanced properties are available. - Animation - animates charts out of the box. A number of options are provided to configure how the animation looks and how long it takes: duration - the number of milliseconds the animation takes easing - the easing function to be used. Possible values are linear,easInQuad, easeOutQuad, easeInOutQuad, easeInCubic, easeInOutCubic, easeInQuart, easeOutQuart, easeInOutQuart, easeInQuint, easeOutQuint, easeInOutQuint, easeInSine, easeOutSine, easeInOutSine, easeInExpo, easeOutExpo, easeInOutExpo, easeInCirc, easeOutCirc, easeInOutCirc, easeInElastic, easeOutElastic, easeInOutElastic, easeInBack, easeOutBack, easeInOutBack, easeInBounce, easeOutBounce, easeInOutBounce. - Legend - displays data about the datasets on the chart: Align - alignment of the legend (start, center (default for unrecognized values), or end) Display - set to true to display the legend Labels Box Width - the width of the colored box Labels Font Color - the text color. Labels Font Size - the text font size Labels Font Style - the text font style Labels Use Point Style - the label style will match the corresponding point style (size is based on the minimum value between Box Width and Font Size) Position - the legend position (top, left, bottom, right) Reverse - the legend will show datasets in reverse order Rtl - set to true to render the legends from right to left. - Title - defines text to draw at the top of the chart: Display - set to true to display the title Font Color - the font color. Font Size - the font size Font Style - the font style Line Height - the height of an individual line of text Padding - the number of pixels to add above and below the title text Position - the title position (top, left, bottom, right) Text - the title text to display. If specified as an array, text is rendered on multiple lines. - Tooltips: Background Color - the tooltip background color. Body Align - the horizontal alignment of the body text lines. The titleAlign, bodyAlign and footerAlign options define the horizontal position of the text lines with respect to the tooltip box. The following values are supported: left (default), right, center. These options are only applied to text lines. Color boxes are always aligned to the left edge. Body Font Color Body Font Size Body Font Style Body Spacing - the spacing to add to top and bottom of each tooltip item Border Color Border Width - the border size Caret Padding - extra distance to move the end of the tooltip arrow away from the tooltip point Caret Size - size, in px , of the tooltip arrowCorner Radius - the radius of the tooltip corner curves Display - if set to true (default), the tooltips are enabled on canvas Display Colors - if set to true, color boxes are shown in the tooltip Intersect - if set to true, the tooltip mode applies only when the mouse position intersects with an element. If set to false, the mode will be applied at all times Mode - sets which elements appear in the tooltip. When configuring interaction with the graph via hover or tooltips, a number of different modes are available. The modes and how they behave in conjunction with the intersect setting are detailed below: point finds all of the items that intersect the point. nearest gets the items that are at the nearest distance to the point. The nearest item is determined based on the distance to the center of the chart item (point, bar). You can use the axis setting to define which directions are used in distance calculation. If intersect is set to true, it is only triggered when the mouse position intersects an item in the graph. This is very useful for combo charts where points are hidden behind bars. index finds item at the same index. If the intersect setting is true, the first intersecting item is used to determine the index in the data. If intersect is set to false the nearest item in the X direction is used to determine the index. To use index mode in a chart like the horizontal bar chart, where we search along the Y direction, you can use the axis setting introduced in v2.7.0 . Setting this value to y on the Y direction is used.dataset finds items in the same dataset. If the intersect setting is true, the first intersecting item is used to determine the index in the data. If intersect is set to false, the nearest item is used to determine the index. X returns all items that would intersect based on the X coordinate of the position only. It would be useful for a vertical cursor implementation. Note that this only applies to cartesian charts. y returns all items that would intersect based on the Y coordinate of the position. This would be useful for a horizontal cursor implementation. Note that this only applies to cartesian charts. MultiKey Background - the color to draw behind the colored boxes when multiple items are in the tooltip Position - the mode for positioning the tooltip. Possible modes are: average will place the tooltip at the average position of the items displayed in the tooltip. nearest will place the tooltip at the position of the element closest to the event position. New modes can be defined by adding functions to the Chart.Tooltip.positioners map.Rtl - select true for rendering the legends from right to left. Title Align - the horizontal alignment of the title text lines. The titleAlign, bodyAlign and footerAlign options define the horizontal position of the text lines with respect to the tooltip box. The following values are supported: left (default), right, center. These options are only applied to text lines. Color boxes are always aligned to the left edge. Title Font Color Title Font Size Title Font Style Title Margin Bottom - the margin to add on the bottom of the title section Title Spacing - the spacing to add to top and bottom of each title line X Padding - the padding to add on left and right of tooltip Y Padding - the padding to add on top and bottom of the tooltip. - Elements - while chart types provide settings to configure the styling of each dataset, you sometimes want to style all datasets the same way. A common example would be to stroke all of the bars in a bar chart with the same color but change the fill per dataset. Options can be configured for four different types of elements: line, arc, point, and rectangles. When set, these options apply to all objects of that type unless specifically overridden by the configuration attached to a dataset. |
Additionally, the following chart styling property can be found under the Styles section:
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Class | Add CSS classes for chart wrapper (class will not modify the chart canvas). |
The Radar and Polar Area charts also allow defining the following advanced properties:
- Ticks
- Grid Lines
- Point Labels
- Angle Lines
All Elements properties are global properties for the selected Chart type.

The Chart component comes with a nested Chart Data component and the X/Y Axes Options components that can be added by clicking the corresponding gear icon within the selected chart.
Chart Data
The Chart Data component properties that are offered for setting heavily depend on what chart type is being defined.
There are also some Chart Data properties that apply to all chart types:
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Data | The list of data value(s). |
Legend Label | The label for the dataset which appears in the legend and tooltips. Not available for Polar Area, Pie, and Doughnut chart types. |
Order | The drawing order of dataset. Also affects order for stacking, tooltip, and legend. Not available for Polar Area, Pie, and Doughnut chart types. |
Axis ID | X Axis ID - the ID of the X-axis to plot this dataset on. Y Axis ID - the ID of the Y-axis to plot this dataset on. Not available for Polar Area, Radar, Pie, Doughnut, and Bubble chart types. |
Additionally, the following chart styling properties are groped under the Styles section:
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Fill | Select to choose how the area under the line must be filled: start, origin (default), end, don't fill. |
Bg Color | The line fill color in the format rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) . |
Cubic Interpolation Mode | The "default" algorithm uses a custom weighted cubic interpolation, which produces pleasant curves for all types of datasets. Two modes are available: default or monotone. |
Line Tension | Bezier curve tension of the line. Set to 0 to draw straight lines. This option is ignored if monotone cubic interpolation is used. |
Stepped Line | If the Stepped Line value is set to anything other than false, Line Tension will be ignored: before, after, middle, default. |
Span Gaps | If set to False (default), NaN data causes a break in the line. |
Show Line | If set to False, the line is not drawn for this dataset. |
Border | Color - the line color in the format rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) .Dash - length and spacing of dashes (not available for Bubble). Width - the line width (in pixels). |
Point | Background Color - the fill color for points in the format rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) .Border Color - the border color for points in the format rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) .Border Width - the width of the point border in pixels. Hit Radius - the pixel size of the non-displayed point that reacts to mouse events. Hover Background Color - point background color when hovered. Hover Border Color - point border color when hovered. Hover Border Width - border width of point when hovered. Hover Radius - the radius of the point when hovered. Radius - the radius of the point shape. If set to 0, the point is not rendered. Rotation - the rotation of the point in degrees. Style - style of the point: circle, cross, crossRot, dash, line, *rect, rectRounded, rectRot, *star, triangle. |
Chart Axes Options
Axes are an integral part of a chart. They are used to determine how data maps to a pixel value on the chart. In a cartesian
chart, there is one or more X-axis and one or more Y-axis to map points onto the 2-dimensional canvas. These axes are know ascartesian
axes.
In a radial chart, such as a radar chart or a polar area chart, there is a single axis that maps points in the angular and radial directions. These are known as radial
axes.
The scales in
Chart.js > v2.0
are significantly more powerful, but also different than those ofv1.0
.
Multiple X- & Y-axes are supported. A built-in label auto-skip feature detects would be overlapping ticks and labels and removes every nth label to keep things displaying normally.
Scale titles are supported. New scale types can be extended without writing an entirely new chart type.
Click the corresponding gear icon (X or Y) within the selected chart to add a new Axes Options element:
Then, select it to get access to its properties.
Properties
X/Y Axes Options have the following properties:
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Scales | Display - control the axis global visibility if set to true. Id - is used to link datasets and scale axes together. The properties dataset.xAxisID or dataset.yAxisID have to match the scale properties scales.xAxes.id/scales.yAxes.id. This is especially needed if multi-axes charts are used. Labels - the labels list: ['Label 1','Label 2','Label 3','Label 4','Label 5'] or ['Label 5','Label 1','Label 2','Label 3','Label 1'] .Position - the position of the axis in the chart. The possible values are: X Axes: top, bottom Y Axes: left, right. Stacked - if set to true, data is stacked. Stacked area charts can be used to show how one data trend is made up of a number of smaller pieces. Bar charts can be configured into stacked bar charts by changing the settings on the X- and Y-axes to enable stacking. Type - the type of the scale to be used: linear, logarithmic, or category: Linear scale is used to chart numerical data. It can be placed on either the X- or Y-axis. The scatter chart type automatically configures a line chart to use one of these scales for the X-axis. As the name suggests, linear interpolation is used to determine where a value lies on the axis Logarithmic scale is used to chart numerical data. It can be placed on either the X- or Y-axis. As the name suggests, logarithmic interpolation is used to determine where a value lies on the axis Category - if global configuration is used, labels are drawn from one of the label arrays included in the chart data. If only data.labels is defined, this will be used. If data.xLabels is defined and the axis is horizontal, this will be used. Similarly, if data.yLabels is defined and the axis is vertical, this property will be used. Using both xLabels and yLabels together can create a chart that uses strings for both the X- and Y-axes. Specifying any of the settings above defines the X-axis as the category type if not defined otherwise. For more fine-grained control of category labels it is also possible to add labels as part of the category axis definition. Doing so does not apply the global defaults. |
Grid Lines | The grid line configuration is nested under the scale configuration in the gridLines key. It defines options for the grid lines that run perpendicular to the axis. https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/axes/styling.html Border Dash - the length and spacing of dashes on grid lines. Color - the grid lines color. If specified as an array, the first color applies to the first grid line, the second to the second grid line, and so on. Display - if set to false, the grid lines for this axis will not be displayed. Draw Border - if set to true, the border at the edge between the axis and the chart area is drawn. Draw On Chart Area - if set to true, the lines on the chart area inside the axis lines are drawn. This is useful when there are multiple axes and you need to control which grid lines are drawn. Draw Ticks - if set to true, the lines beside the ticks in the axis area beside the chart are drawn. Line Width - the stroke width of grid lines. Offset Grid Lines - if set to true, the grid lines will be shifted to locate between the labels. This is set to true for the bar chart by default. Tick Mark Length - the length in px that the grid lines will draw into the axis area.Z-Index - z-index of the grid line layer. The values <= 0 are drawn under datasets, those that are `> 0 on top.Zero Line Border Dash - the length and spacing of dashes of the grid line for the first index ( index 0 ).Zero Line Color - the stroke color of the grid line for the first index ( index 0 ).Zero Line Width - the grid line stroke width for the first index ( index 0 ). |
Label | Display - if set to true, displays the axis title. Font Color - the font color for scale title. Font Size - the font size for scale title. Font Style - the font style for the scale title, follows the CSS font-style options (i.e. normal, italic, oblique, initial, inherit). Label String - the text for the title. Line Height - the height of an individual line of text. Padding - the padding to apply around scale labels. Only top and bottom are implemented. |
Ticks | Auto Skip - if set to true, automatically calculates how many labels can be shown and hides labels accordingly. Labels will be rotated up to maxRotation before skipping any. Turn Auto Skip off to show all labels available. Auto Skip Padding - the padding between the ticks on the horizontal axis with Auto Skip enabled. Begin At Zero - if set to true, the scale will include 0 if it is not already included. Display - controls the axis global visibility (visible when true, hidden when false). Font Color - the font color for tick labels. Font Size - the font size for the tick labels. Font Style - the font style for the tick labels, follows the CSS font-style options. Label Offset - the distance in px to offset the label from the center point of the tick in the X direction (for the X-axis), and the Y direction (for the Y-axis). Note that this can cause labels at the edges to be cropped by the edge of the canvas.Line Height - the height of an individual line of text. Max - the user-defined maximum number for the scale, overrides maximum value from data. Max Rotation - the maximum rotation for tick labels when rotating to condense labels. Rotation doesn't occur until necessary. Only applicable to horizontal scales. Min - the user-defined minimum number for the scale, overrides minimum value from data. Min Rotation - the minimum rotation for tick labels. Only applicable to horizontal scales. Mirror- flips tick labels around axis, displaying the labels inside the chart instead of outside. Only applicable to vertical scales. Padding - the padding between the tick label and the axis. When set on a vertical axis, this applies in the horizontal (X) direction. When set on a horizontal axis, this applies in the vertical (Y) direction. Precision - if defined with the Step Size property unspecified, the step size will be rounded to this many decimal places. Reverse - reverses the order of tick labels if set to True. Sample Size - the number of ticks to examine when deciding how many labels will fit. Setting a smaller value will be faster, but may be less accurate when there is large variability in label length. Step Size - the user-defined fixed step size for the scale. Ticks Max Ticks Limit - the maximum number of ticks and gridlines to show. Z-index - z-index of the tick layer. It is used when ticks are drawn on a chart area. The values <= 0 are drawn under datasets, those > 0 on top. |
For the linear Axes type Zero Line is 0!

Checkbox
The CheckboxWrapper allows the selection of multiple options from a set of options. They appear as checked (ticked) when activated. Clicking on a check box will toggle the checked property. They can also be checked programmatically by setting the checked property.
Properties
Every new CheckboxWrapper component is created with two default child components: Checkbox and ItemLabel.
Common Properties
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Item Wrapped | If set to true, the component will be included in the Item with additional properties |
Show Label | If set to true, the component will have a label. |
Lines | How the bottom border should be displayed on the item. Possible values are; Full, Inset, None. |
Reorder | Reorder properties: Type - Content or Wrapper. If Wrapper is used, the item will be wrapped into a reorder tag. Icon - custom icon for Reorder with a type Content. Click the Default icon button to select the needed icon. Slot - position inside the item: Start or End. SVG Icon - used to select an svg file. This path will be added as the src attribute. Click the Change button to select the uploaded image from Media Manager. |
Checkbox
Setting the Checkbox component properties can be done from under Common and/or Styles tabs:
Common Properties
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Name | The name of the control, which is submitted with the form data. |
Value | Used as data for forms and groups. The value of the check box does not mean if it is checked or not, use the checked property for that. |
Checked | If set to true, the check box is selected. The default is set to false. |
Indeterminate | If set to True, the check box will visually appear as indeterminate. The default is set to false. |
[(ngModel)] | Angular directive for data binding. |
(ionBlur) | The event emitted when the toggle loses focus. |
(ionChange) | The event emitted when the value has changed. |
(ionFocus) | The event emitted when the input has focus. |
Styles Properties
Under the Styles tab, checkboxes can be styled with additional attributes to look like in a specific way:
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Checkbox Size | Set the check box size in px , % , em , vh , and vw . |
Checkmark | Color - select CSS checkmark color of the check box from the available colors: Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Success, Warning, Danger, Light, Medium, Dark, and Custom or use the Color-picker. Width - stroke width of the check box checkmark in px , % , em , vh , and vw . |
ItemLabel
The ItemLabel component has the following properties:
Common Properties
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Truncate Text | Set to True (default) to truncate label text if it is too long. |
Position | The position determines where and how the label behaves inside an item. |
Styles Properties
Under the Styles tab, ItemLabel components can be styled with the following attributes to look like in a specific way:
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Font Size | Enter font size in px , % , em , vh , and vw . |
Font Weight | Set the weight (or boldness) of the font: Normal or Bold. |
Using Checkbox as a Form Control
If included in a Form component, Checkbox becomes a Form Control:
The Name property should be specified (by default, the Name property is defined as the Component name property, so change it if necessary).
Use the following description only when the Form component has the disabled Native validation property. If the Native validation property is enabled the control can be used as a default HTML Form Control.
To set the initial value of the control, use the Initial Value property of the Form Control properties section. The component can have only boolean (true or false) values. If the property is not specified, the initial value will be set to null.
To use variables as the control's data, the advanced property [(ngModel)] should be specified - the variable name should be entered as the property value. It replaces the value that is set by the Initial Value property.
The component can get additional properties (Control ID and Control options) that allow checking the validity, changing updating strategy, etc. These properties can be used if the Native Validation property is disabled for the Form component.

DataTable
The DataTable component consists of DataTableCols the number of which can be changed by adding or cloning.
Properties
The DataTable component has the following properties:
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Data Mode | Data source. Mode: Client Pages, Client Infinite, Server Pages, or Server Infinite. Service Name - the service to be linked with the datatable to return data. It is created after a datasource is added under the DATA tab. |
Rows | An array of rows to display (variable or mapping). Value type: Array. The default value is set to []. There are two ways to set the data source for Rows: Define a variable under the CODE tab with data. Then choose the variable as the value for the property Rows; Use the DATA tab to map service data to the Rows property. |
Limit | Is necessary for calculating sizes (rows count) of the page and for pagination. If not defined, Limit will be calculated as the length of Rows data (one page with all rows data). |
Count | Enter the number to set the total count of all rows. The default is set to 0. The property is necessary for correct rows displaying in infinite scroll modes and for calculations for page navigation. Required if the Data Mode property is set to Server Pages or Server Infinite. If the Data Mode property is set to Client Pagesor Client Infinite, Count will be automatically calculated as the length of `Rows data. |
Offset | The current offset ( page - 1 ) is shown. The property is necessary for calculating the number of the current page. In this case, it will be the Offset property increased by 1. Should be set if the number of the first page differs from the default, |
Selection Type | The type of row selection. The value types are Single - one row can be selected at a time; Cell - one cell can be selected at a time; Multi - multiple rows can be selected using Ctrl or Shift keys; MultiClick - multiple rows can be selected by clicking; Checkbox - multiple rows can be selected using checkboxes. |
Display Check | Can be used to check whether you want to show the check box for a particular row based on some criteria. Create a new function under the DATA tab of the Visual Editor and choose the created function for the property. (row, column, value) => { return row.name !== 'Ethel Price'; } |
External Sorting | To be used instead of client-side sorting. The default is set to False. |
Row Height | Is necessary for calculating the sizes of the page when infinite scrolling is used and it is optional for pagination mode. The default value is auto for Client Pages / Server Pages and 50 for Client Infinite / Server Infinite. When infinite scrolling is not used, pass undefined for fluid heights. If infinite scrolling is used, pass a number to calculate the heights. Row Height can`t be auto when the Data Modeproperty is set to Client Infinite or Server Infinite or theScrollbarV property is set to True. It is automatically changed to undefined from auto if the properties above are set. |
Header Hight | Minimum header height in pixels. Header Height can`t be auto when ScrollbarV is True or Data Mode is Client Infinite or Server Infinite or theScrollbarV property is set to True. It is automatically changed to undefined from auto if the properties above are set. |
Footer Height | The minimum footer height in pixels. This property is used for calculating the dimensions of the table size. Pass false value for no footer. |
Table Height | Set the height of a datatable in the percentage of viewport height. It means appending a special CSS class with needed styles. It will be changed to 100 % automatically when the Data Mode property is set to Client Infinite or Server Infinite or the ScrollbarV property is defined as True. - 25 % - 25vh - 33 % - 33vh - 50 % - 50vh - 66 % - 66vh - 75 % - 75vh - 100 % - 100vh. |
ScrollbarH | Enable/disable horizontal scrollbars. The default value is set to False. |
ScrollbarV | Is necessary for infinite scrolling. Setting the property to True resets the Row Height and Header Height properties from auto to undefined because there are required defined height values for correct table calculations. The default value is set to False. |
Column mode | Column modes allow having a variety of different ways to apply column width distribution to the columns using: Standard - columns are distributed given the width is defined in the column options; Flex - distribute the width's grow factor relative to other columns. It works the same as the flex-grow API in CSS. Basically, it takes any available extra width and distributes it proportionally according to each column's Flex Grow value. Flex is not suggested when the ScrollbarH property is set to True; Force force the widths of the columns to distribute equally but overflows when the min-width of each column is reached. Force is usually the ideal column distribution method when columns do not need to be fixed-sized. |
Theme | Set the default style of a datatable. It means appending a special CSS class of a predefined theme to the datatable element. The value types are Material (default), Dark, Bootstrap. |
Reordable | Enable/disable the ability to re-order columns by dragging them. Value type: boolean. The default value is set to True. |
Row Class | The function used to populate a row's CSS class. The function will take a row and return a string or object. The value type is Function. It makes adding custom classes depending on specific conditions possible. Create a new function under the CODE tab of the Visual Editor and choose the created function for the property. (row) => { return { 'old': row.age > 50, 'young': row.age <= 50, 'woman': row.gender === 'female', 'man': row.gender === 'male' } } |
Sorts | Used to determine the default column for sorting. The default is set to empty (unsorted). Column Name - enter text to name a column. Direction - set the sorting direction: asc (ascending) or desc (descending). |
Messages | Static messages in the table that can be overridden for localization. Value types: Empty Message - a message to show when an array with no values is presented; Selected Message - footer selected message; Total Message - footer whole message. |
Css Classes | Custom CSS classes that can be defined to override the icons classes for up/down in sorts and previous/next in the pager. If entered, custom classes for icons will replace existing classes. Value types: Pager Left Arrow - the default value is set to datatable-icon-left; Pager Next - the default value is set to datatable-icon-skip; Pager Previous - the default value is set to datatable-icon-prev; Pager Right Arrow - the default value is set to datatable-icon-right; Sort Ascending - the default value is set to datatable-icon-down; Sort Descending - the default value is set to datatable-icon-up. |

Form
Handling user input with forms is the cornerstone of many common applications. Applications use forms to enable users to log in, update a profile, enter sensitive information, or to perform many other data-entry tasks.
The Form component is based on Angular template-driven forms.
Composition
The Form is a container that can include Form Controls like Checkbox, Datetime, Input, Radiogroup, Range, Select, and Toggle).
To create a Form Control, drag & drop a needed component from the components PALETTE and place it inside the Form to see the Form Control section with more control properties added:
The added component will become a Form Control only when the property Name is specified which defines the control data key.
For example, we have an Input with definedName = userName
andvalue = Peter
. In this case, the control data will be available as the property of the form data object:{userName: 'Peter'}
.
Sending data
There are two ways to send form data:
- Including the special Submit control. The control has to be placed inside the form:
<form>
<ion-button type="submit">Submit</ion-button>
</form>
- Using the Form submit action on the EVENTS tab. The control can be placed everywhere on the page.
Actions at the form submitting can be specified in three ways:
- Using the Form submit event of the form component on the EVENTS tab (for beginners). In this case, a user can choose an action to be executed at the form submitting. For example, such action can be Invoke service (e.g. Login service) with specified mapping on the DATA panel.
- Using the (ngSubmit) event of the component (for advanced users). In this case, a user has to define a function - handler which will execute submitting from custom code.
- Using the Action property of the component (for advanced users). In this case, a user has to define the URL where form data will be sent.
Validation
By default, Ionic has its own validation rules for controls included in the form. If you want to use the validity of the form in general, specify the property Form ID.
The word passed as the value of the property can be used as a variable containing information about the form. Such usage is described in the PROPERTIES section:
The Form ID property can be used as the variable containing the Form state (e.g. formID.valid
and formID.value
). To use it in custom code, add 'this.'
prefix.
Validation Component
To define validation for the UI components that do not become the Validation property when included in the Form or are difficult to combine for validation purposes the Validation component can be used.
Form and Controls have different states when Ionic validation is used.
State | Description |
---|---|
valid | A control is considered valid if no validation errors exist with the current value. If the control is not present, null is returned. |
invalid | An error exists in the input value. If the control is not present, null is returned. |
pending | Async validation is occurring and errors are not yet available for the input value. If the control is not present, null is returned. |
disabled | The control is disabled in the UI and is exempt from validation checks and excluded from aggregate values of ancestor controls. If the control is not present, null is returned. |
enabled | The control is included in ancestor calculations of validity or value. If the control is not present, null is returned. |
pristine | The user has not yet changed the value in the UI. If the control is not present, null is returned. |
dirty | The user has changed the value in the UI. If the control is not present,null is returned. |
touched | The user has triggered a blur event on it. If the control is not present, null is returned. |
untouched | The user has not yet triggered a blur event on it. If the control is not present, null is returned. |
errors | Reports the control's validation errors. |
For example, check using the invalid input state to show an error message: <ion-text *ngIf="user.invalid" color="danger">Incorrect user name</ion-text>
. In this case, user is a Control ID defined for the Input component.
If you need to use validation to specific errors, use the errors state with specifying the type of validation error.
Let's seeto define validation for the UI components that do not become the Validation property when included in the Form component. how different error messages at the Input component validation are displayed.
Define the Control ID property of the Input with the passControl value and set its validation (to required
and pattern="[0-9]*"
, for example).
Add two components containing error messages and add the *ngIf directive as an advanced property with the value that is a condition for displaying the error component. The directive is used to show/hide components depending on a directive boolean value.
If the component is valid, the expression passControl.errors
will return null
(equal to false
).
If the component is invalid, the expression passControl.errors
will return the object containing all validation errors available by their names. The existence of a necessary error name in the returned errors object is used for the condition of displaying the error message.
<form #myForm="ngForm">
<ion-input required pattern="[0-9]*" #passControl="ngModel" [ngModel] name="pass"></ion-input>
<ion-text *ngIf="passControl.errors && passControl.errors.required" color="danger">Value has to be entered</ion-text>
<ion-text *ngIf="passControl.errors && passControl.errors.pattern" color="danger">Value should contain only numbers</ion-text>
</form>

Properties
Common Properties
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Novalidate | This boolean attribute indicates that the form shouldn't be validated when submitted. |
Native validation | If set to True, native HTML5 validation is used instead of Angular validation. The form will work as the default HTML . |
Form ID | A unique word identifying the component (Template reference variable) that contains current form information. Used in component's properties as a variable containing the form state. |
Update On | Control when the value or the validity is updated: Change, Blur, Submit |
Features | Advanced options containing default HTML form attributes. - Action - the URL that processes the form submission. Specifies where to send the form-data when a form is submitted. Disabled if Form submit or (ngSubmit) is used. - Enctype - specifies how the form-data should be encoded when submitting it to the server (only if Method is set to post). The Enctype property has the following options: application/x-www-form-urlencoded - default. All characters are encoded before being sent (spaces are converted to "+" symbols, and special characters are converted to ASCII HEX values); multipart/form-data - no characters are encoded. This value is required when you are using forms that have a file upload control; text/plain - spaces are converted to + symbols, but no special characters are encoded. - Method specifies the HTTP method (get or post) to use when sending form-data: get appends form-data into the URL in name/value pairs. The length of a URL is limited (about 3000 characters). Never use GET to send sensitive data! (will be visible in the URL), it is better used for non-secure data, like query strings in Google. Useful for form submissions where a user wants to bookmark the result. post appends form-data inside the body of the HTTP request (data is not shown in URL). It has no size limitations. Form submissions with POST cannot be bookmarked. - Target specifies where to display the response that is received after submitting the form: Blank - the response is displayed in a new window or tab. Self - the response is displayed in the same frame (default); Parent - the response is displayed in the parent frame. Top - the response is displayed in the full body of the window. |
(ngSubmit) | The event emitted when the form is submitted. The event Form submit takes precedence over the Action property. |
In the initial state of the component, the default HTML
<form>
features (Action, Target, etc.) are not supported because they are replaced with Angular functionality. To disable Angular functionality and enable default HTML behavior of the component, enable the Native validation property.
The Form ID property can be used in a template or code as a variable containing information about the form:
formID = {
value: boolean, // Reports the value of the form
valid: boolean, // Reports whether the form is valid. A form is considered valid if no validation errors exist with the current value
invalid: boolean, // Reports whether the form is invalid, meaning that an error exists in the value
dirty: boolean // Reports whether the form is dirty, meaning that the user has changed the value in the UI
}
In templates, the Form ID property is used as a variable. It can be also passed as a function argument:
<ion-button disabled={{formID.invalid}} type="submit">Submit</ion-button>
<ion-button (click)="send(formID)">Send</ion-button>
To be used in custom code, the variable is available as this.<Form ID>
:
if (this.formID.valid) this.submit();

RadioGroup
The RadioGroup is a group of wrapped radiobuttons and their labels. It allows a user to select at most one radiobutton from a set. Checking one Radiobutton that belongs to a radio group unchecks any previously checked radiobutton within the same group.
The RadioGroup component is based on Ionic ion-radio-group.
The RadioGroup is a container including three default RadiobuttonWrapper components which, in their turn, include ItemLabel and Radiobutton components. By default, the RadiobuttonWrapper has 3 ItemLabels and 3 Radiobuttons. Note that all Radiobuttons should have different value properties for correct work inside a RadioGroup.
You can add a header to your RadioGroup by setting the property Group Header to True.
To change the direction of radiobuttons, use the Buttons direction property. The Horizontal direction is set by adding a CSS class of the flexbox styles.
A header can not be added when the Horizontal direction is used.
If you use the RadioGroup as a Form Control, the properties Name and [(ngModel)] should be defined. In this case, the Name property defines a key name of form data, and the [(ngModel)] property defines the name of the variable containing sent data.
For dynamic value changing, use [(ngModel)] instead of the Value property. In this case, a variable name containing changing value data as the value of the [(ngModel)] property should be passed.
Properties
The RadioGroup component has the following properties:
Common Properties
Property Name | Property Description |
---|---|
Value | The value of the radio group. |
Name | The name of the control, which is submitted with the form data. |

Group Header | If set to True, adds a header of the radio group. Hidden if the Horizontal direction is chosen. |
Initial Value | The default value of the control before it's been changed. |
Control ID | Name of the control. Used in component properties as the variable containing the control state. |
Control Options | Advanced Form Control options. Update On - controls when the value or the validity is updated: Change, Blur, or Submit. Standalone - when set to True, the component will not register itself with its parent form but act as if it's not in the form. |
Validation | Show Validation Errors - validation errors will be shown with the field value set to True. Error Message Class - add your class name(s) to customize error messages. Required - If set to True, the user must fill in a value before submitting a form. Message for Required - add your custom error message for Required. |
[(ngModel)] | Angular directive for data binding. |
(ionChange) | The event emitted when the value has changed. |
For dynamic changing value use [(ngModel)] instead of the Value property.
If you define the radio group Group Header property as True, the Radio Group Header component will become accessible having the additional common and styling properties under its Common and Styles tabs respectively:
Header Text - the header text shown.
Header Color - select CSS color from the available colors: Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Success, Warning, Danger, Light, Medium, Dark, and Custom or use the Color-picker.

If included in a Form component, Range becomes a Form Control; the Name property should be specified (by default, the Name property is defined as the Component name property, so change it if necessary):
Note!
Use the following description only when the Form component has the disabled Native validation property. If the Native validation property is enabled the control can be used as a default HTML Form Control.
To set the initial value of the control, use the Initial Value property of the Form Control properties section.
The component can have a number value (e.g. 20
) or an object value if the Dual Knobs property is True (e.g. { lower: 20, upper: 80 }
). If the property isn't specified the initial value will be set to null.
To use variables as the control's data, the advanced property [(ngModel)] should be specified - the variable name should be entered as the property value. It replaces the value that is set by the Initial Value property.
The component can get additional properties (Control ID and Control options) that allow checking the validity, changing updating strategy, etc. These properties can be used if the Native Validation property is disabled for the Form component.

The component can't be used with array iteration data for creating a dynamic form structure. If you need to create such kind of structure, follow these recommendations
Reorder
Reorder is a component that allows an item in a group of items to be dragged to change its order within that group and is based on the Ionic ion-reorder.
Reorder components are generally used as a set of related options inside of a group, the ReorderGroup.
How To: Reorder
Please check the detailed instructions on how to set up the Reorder component here.
Properties
The Reorder component has the following properties:
Property Name | Property Description |

Select
Selects are Form Controls used to select an option (or options) from a set of options, similar to a native ion-select element. When the select is tapped, a dialog appears with all of the options in a large, easy-to-select list.
A select should be used with child ion-select-option elements. If the child option is not given a value attribute, then its text will be used as the value.
If the value is set on the ion-select, the selected option will be chosen based on that value. Otherwise, the selected attribute can be used on the ion-select-option.
