1 NPM Install

Install the smart-webcomponents-angular package:

npm install smart-webcomponents-angular

2 Register styles

Add the default Smart UI stylesheet to angular.json -> projects -> <your-project> -> architect -> build -> options -> styles (merge with existing entries):

"styles": [
		"node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css"
	]

Add optional theme CSS from the same package after smart.default.css if you use Bootstrap, Fluent, or other bundled themes.

3 Import the Angular module

Import CardModule from smart-webcomponents-angular/card: use @Component.imports for standalone, or add it to your AppModule (or feature module) imports array for NgModule apps.

import { CardModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/card';

4 Root component (standalone)

Add CardModule to your root standalone component (src/app/app.ts). Snippet from Smart UI demos (paths normalized to app.html / App where applicable):

 import { Component, ViewChild, OnInit, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core';
import { CardComponent } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/card';

import { CardModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/card';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [ CardModule ],
  templateUrl: './app.html',
  styleUrl: './app.css'
})

export class App implements AfterViewInit, OnInit {	
	@ViewChild('card', { read: CardComponent, static: false }) card!: CardComponent;
	
 
	ngOnInit(): void {
		// onInit code.
	}

	ngAfterViewInit(): void {
		// afterViewInit code.
		this.init();
    }
		
	init(): void {
		// init code.
	    

	}	
}

Boot the app with bootstrapApplication from src/main.ts and an ApplicationConfig in src/app/app.config.ts as generated by the CLI.

5 Template (standalone)

Use your markup in src/app/app.html (or inline template). Bind properties and events on smart-card as needed:

 <smart-card #card class="basic-card">
    <div class="card-content"> <span class="card-title">Card Title</span>
        <p>I am a very simple card. I am good at containing small bits of information.
            I am convenient because I require little markup to use effectively.</p>
    </div>
    <div class="card-action"> <a href="#">This is a link</a>
 <a href="#">This is a link</a>
    </div>
</smart-card>

6 NgModule bootstrap (also supported)

Same npm package and angular.json styles as steps 1-2. Put CardModule on your NgModule.imports instead of @Component.imports, and bootstrap with bootstrapModule(AppModule).

The demo sources bundled for this widget use standalone only (there is no app.module.ts in that folder). NgModule is fully supported: put CardModule from smart-webcomponents-angular/card on NgModule.imports, make your root component non-standalone (remove standalone: true and move widget modules from @Component.imports to the module), and bootstrap with platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).

Minimal main.ts + app.module.ts pairing (adjust paths to match your CLI layout):

src/main.ts

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).catch((err) => console.error(err));

src/app/app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { CardModule } from 'smart-webcomponents-angular/card';

@NgModule({
	declarations: [ AppComponent ],
	imports: [ BrowserModule, CardModule ],
	bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

Reuse the template and class logic from steps 4-5 in AppComponent, configured for declarations + NgModule.imports instead of a standalone @Component.
