Angular PrimeNG is an open-source UI component library for Angular Applications. Using the components provided by Angular PrimeNG, one can create stunning and responsive angular applications. In this article, we will see the Angular PrimeNG Galleria Indicator.

Galleria is an advanced component to display images in an attractive manner. It needs a template named item and an array of objects as the value. The use of the galleria component betters the user experience of the application. The Galleria Indicator allows users to navigate quickly through the galleria items.

changeItemOnIndicatorHover: When this is true, the galleria items will change when the user hovers over the indicator.
value: This property accepts an array of objects to display as galleria items.
numVisible: This property defines the number of thumbnails to show on one page.
showThumbnails: When this is false, the galleria thumbnails will not be shown.

Angular PrimeNG Galleria Indicator Templates:

item: The item template is used to specify how a single item galleria item will be structured.
indicator: This template tells how a single indicator will be structured.

            [showIndicators]="true" 
            indicatorsPosition="top">
       ...
</p-galleria>

Example 1: In this example, we set the showIndicators property to true and by default, the indicators will show outside the content the current item of the galleria will change when we click on the indicators.

app.component.html:

HTML

<h2 style="color: green">GeeksforGeeks</h2>
<h3>Angular PrimeNG Galleria Indicators</h3>

<h4>
    Indicators with Click Event
    and Outside the content

<p-galleria [value]="img" 
            [containerStyle]="{'max-width': '500px'}" 
            [numVisible]="3" 
            [showIndicators]="true"
            [showThumbnails]="false">
       <ng-template pTemplate="item" let-img>
              <img [src]="img.URL" 
                   style="width: 100%; 
                          display: block;" />
       </ng-template>
</p-galleria>

app.component.ts:

JavaScript

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

interface GalleriaImage {
    URL: String;
}

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {
    img: GalleriaImage[] = [];

    ngOnInit() {
        this.img = [

            },
        ];
    }
}

app.module.ts:

JavaScript

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } 
    from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule }
    from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { GalleriaModule } from 'primeng/galleria';

@NgModule({

        BrowserAnimationsModule,
        GalleriaModule
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule { }

Output:

Example 2: In this example, the changeItemOnIndicatorHover property is set to true to change the galleria item when we hover over the indicators and the showIndicatorsOnItem property is also set to true to show the indicators on the top of the content.
