import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';

import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

import { NgxZendeskWebwidgetModule } from 'ngx-zendesk-webwidget';

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

SharedModule

@NgModule({
    exports: [
      CommonModule,
      NgxZendeskWebwidgetModule
    ]
})
export class SharedModule { }

Configuration

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { NgxZendeskWebwidgetModule, NgxZendeskWebwidgetConfig } from 'ngx-zendesk-webwidget';

import { AppComponent } from './app';

export class ZendeskConfig extends NgxZendeskWebwidgetConfig {
  accountUrl = 'yourdomain.zendesk.com';
  callback(zE) {
    // You can call every command you want in here
    // zE('webWidget', 'hide');
    // zE('webWidget', 'show');
  }
}

@NgModule({

        HttpClientModule,
        NgxZendeskWebwidgetModule.forRoot(ZendeskConfig)
    ],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Configuration with Lazyload

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

import { NgxZendeskWebwidgetModule, NgxZendeskWebwidgetConfig } from 'ngx-zendesk-webwidget';

import { AppComponent } from './app';

export class ZendeskConfig extends NgxZendeskWebwidgetConfig {
  override lazyLoad = true;
  accountUrl = 'yourdomain.zendesk.com';
  callback(zE) {
    // You can call every command you want in here
    // zE('webWidget', 'hide');
    // zE('webWidget', 'show');
  }
}

@NgModule({
    imports: [
      BrowserModule,
      HttpClientModule,
      NgxZendeskWebwidgetModule.forRoot(ZendeskConfig)
    ],
    bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

2. Init the NgxZendeskWebwidgetService

For your application

import { NgxZendeskWebwidgetService } from 'ngx-zendesk-webwidget';

@Component({
  selector: 'app',
  templateUrl: './app.html'
})
export class app {

  constructor(private _NgxZendeskWebwidgetService: NgxZendeskWebwidgetService) { }

    this._NgxZendeskWebwidgetService_.initZendesk();
  }

}

      name: 'Fulano de Tal',
      email: '[email protected]'
    });
