ButtonGroup types

Outline ButtonGroup

An Outline ButtonGroup has a border with transparent background. To create Outline ButtonGroup, e-outline class should be added to the target element and to each button elements using cssClass property.

The following sample illustrates how to achieve an Outline ButtonGroup,

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'



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

@Component({
imports: [
        
        ButtonModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<div class="e-section-control">
                <!-- To render ButtonGroup. -->
                <div class='e-btn-group e-outline'>
                  <button ejs-button cssClass='e-outline'>HTML</button>
                  <button ejs-button cssClass='e-outline'>CSS</button>
                  <button ejs-button cssClass='e-outline'>Javascript</button>
                </div>
              </div>`
})

export class AppComponent { }
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

ButtonGroup does not have support for flat and round types.

ButtonGroup styles

The Essential JS 2 ButtonGroup has the following predefined styles. This can be achieved by adding corresponding class name in each button elements using cssClass property.

Class Description
e-primary Used to represent a primary action.
e-success Used to represent a positive action.
e-info Used to represent an informative action.
e-warning Used to represent an action with caution.
e-danger Used to represent a negative action.

The following example illustrates how to achieve predefined styles in ButtonGroup.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { ButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons'
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base'



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

@Component({
imports: [
        
        ButtonModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<div class="e-section-control">
                <!-- To render ButtonGroup. -->
               <div class='e-btn-group'>
                 <button ejs-button cssClass='e-info'>View</button>
                 <button ejs-button>Edit</button>
                 <button ejs-button cssClass='e-danger'>Delete</button>
               </div>
               </div>`
})

export class AppComponent { }
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Predefined ButtonGroup styles provide only the visual indication. So,
ButtonGroup content should define the ButtonGroup style for the users of assistive technologies such as screen readers.
