import { AppComponent } from "./app.component"

@NgModule(imports: [
...,
QueryBuilderModule,
IonicModule.forRoot(AppComponent) // (Optional) for IonicFramework 2+
])
export class AppModule { }
`

##### app.component.html

`
##### app.component.ts
`javascript
import { QueryBuilderConfig } from 'angular2-query-builder';

export class AppComponent {
query = {
condition: 'and',
rules: [
{field: 'age', operator: '<=', value: 'Bob'},

Customizing with Angular Material

Example of how you can completely customize the query component with another library like Angular Material. For the full example, please look at the source code provided in the demo.

#### app.component.html

`html


+ Rule
+ Ruleset
- Ruleset



remove




And
Or





{{field.name}}






{{value}}












{{ opt.name }}
