Optimized CSS files

Syncfusion components provide two size modes for each theme: normal and bigger. By default, the normal size mode is applied, offering a standard appearance that is suitable for all devices. The bigger size mode provides an enlarged interface for enhanced interactions, visibility, and an overall improved user experience by increasing the size of the UI components.

The bigger size mode is ideal when an enlarged appearance is needed, while the normal size mode works best for maintaining the default appearance of components.

Below is a comparison of the Button component in normal and bigger size modes:

bigger-sized-button

Each theme includes both normal and bigger size modes, which increases the overall file size. To optimize performance, Syncfusion offers additional theme files (e.g., fluent2-lite.css), which only include the normal size mode styles. This results in a significant reduction in file size, improving load times and overall application performance, especially when the bigger size mode is unnecessary.

Refer to the comparison below for the default and optimized theme file sizes:

Theme Name Default Theme Size Optimized Theme Size
Fluent 2 3.97 MB 2.96 MB

Installation

There are four ways to include Syncfusion Angular UI themes in application.

Install via NPM

Themes are shipped as individual and combined CSS files. Combined CSS file can be referred from the npm package @syncfusion/ej2 and individual CSS files are available within same component repository’s style folder. In ej2 npm packages, we have shipped both CSS and SCSS files for all components.

To use the combined CSS files, install the npm package using the following command

 npm install @syncfusion/ej2

CDN Direct Referral

Instead of using a local resource on your server, you can use a cloud CDN to reference the theme style sheets.

Syncfusion Angular Themes are available in the CDN. Make sure that the version in the URLs matches the version of the Syncfusion Angular Package you are using.

<head>
    <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/<version>/<theme_name>.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
</head>

To refer to optimized CSS files, use the following syntax:

<head>
    <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/<version>/<theme_name>-lite.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
</head>

Using Precompiled CSS and SCSS File

Precompiled css

In terms Precompiled means minified and optimized CSS.

The Syncfusion Angular UI theme includes a precompiled CSS file that contains the styles for all Syncfusion components.

@import "./node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2/<theme_name>.css";

Referring all components SCSS

@import "ej2/<theme_name>.scss";

We can get the individual theme from individual package or from ej2 package.

Referring individual Component from individual package

@import "ej2-buttons/button/<theme_name>.scss";

Referring all components optimized CSS file

To refer to all component’s optimized CSS files from the @syncfusion/ej2 package, follow the below syntax:

@import "@syncfusion/ej2/<theme_name>-lite.css";
/* or */
@import "@syncfusion/ej2/<theme_name>-lite.scss";

Example:

@import "@syncfusion/ej2/fluent2-lite.css";
/* or */
@import "@syncfusion/ej2/fluent2-lite.scss";

Referring individual component optimized CSS file

To refer to individual component’s optimized CSS files from an individual packages, follow the below syntax:

@import "<dependent-package>/styles/<theme_name>-lite.css";
/* or */
@import "<dependent-package>/styles/<theme_name>-lite.scss";

Example:

@import "@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/fluent2-lite.css";
/* or */
@import "@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/fluent2-lite.scss";

Advantages of individual components theme

  • Reducing the page load time of application
  • Reducing bundling size
  • Avoid unused CSS

Compiling Themes from SCSS Source File

The Syncfusion Angular UI theme includes a compilation of SCSS file. Refer Compiling SCSS file section for more information.
