Angular PrimeNG Ripple Styling

Last Updated : 23 Jul, 2025

Angular PrimeNG is a UI component library for Angular Applications. It offers many pre-built themes and UI components for a variety of tasks like inputs, menus, charts, Buttons, etc. In this article, we will see Angular PrimeNG Ripple Styling.

The Ripple Component is used to apply a ripple effect animation to the host element. The color of the ripple effect can be customized by changing the background property of the "p-ink" class.

Syntax:

<div pRipple class="green">....</div>

// In CSS
.p-ripple.green .p-ink {
    background: rgba(0, 255, 0, .3);
}

Step 1: Create an Angular application using the following command.

ng new appname

Step 2: After creating your project folder i.e. appname, move to it using the following command.

cd appname

Step 3: Finally, Install PrimeNG in your given directory.

npm install primeng --save
npm install primeicons --save

Project Structure: The project Structure will look like this after following the above steps:

Project Structure

Run the below command:

ng serve --open

Example 1: In this example, we showed to default and red color of the ripple.

app.component.html 
<div style="text-align: center">
    <h2 style="color: green">GeeksforGeeks</h2>
    <h4>Angular PrimeNG Ripple Styling</h4>

    <div class="cards flex justify-content-center mt-5">
        <p-card
            pRipple
            class="default" 
            header="Default Ripple" 
            [style]="{'width': '300px', 'margin-right': '20px'}">
            <p>Ripple Component Demo</p>
        </p-card>

        <p-card 
            pRipple 
            class="red"
            header="Red Ripple" 
            [style]="{'width': '300px'}">
            <p>Ripple Component Demo</p>
        </p-card>
    </div>
</div>
app.component.ts 
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { PrimeNGConfig } from 'primeng/api';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: './app.component.html',
    styles: [
        `
        .cards{
            user-select: none;
        }
        
        `
    ]
})

export class AppComponent implements OnInit{
    constructor(private primengConfig: PrimeNGConfig) { }

    ngOnInit() {
        this.primengConfig.ripple = true;
    }
}
app.module.ts 
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule }
    from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule }
    from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { CardModule } from 'primeng/card';
import { RippleModule } from 'primeng/ripple';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        BrowserAnimationsModule,
        CardModule,
        RippleModule
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})

export class AppModule { }
styles.css 
.default .p-card-body{
    background-color: green;
    padding: 0;
    color: white;
}

.p-ripple.red .p-ink {
    background: rgba(255, 0, 0, .3);
}

Example 2: In this example, we changed the color of the ripple to green and blue.
