import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

/**

 */
@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserModule,
        ButtonModule
    ],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

e-warning	Used to represent an action with caution.
