The list of dependencies required to use the ProgressButton component in your application is given as follows:

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-splitbuttons
   |-- @syncfusion/ej2-angular-base
   |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
   |-- @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons

Setup Angular environment

You can use Angular CLI to setup your Angular applications. To install Angular CLI use the following command.

npm install -g @angular/cli

Create an Angular application

Start a new Angular application using below Angular CLI command.

ng new my-app
cd my-app

Installing Syncfusion ProgressButton package

To install ProgressButton package, use the following command.

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-splitbuttons --save

The above package installs ProgressButton dependencies which are required to render the component in the Angular environment.

Adding ProgressButton module

Import ProgressButton module into Angular application(app.module.ts) from the package @syncfusion/ej2-angular-splitbuttons.

import { NgModule }      from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';

// Imported Syncfusion Progress button module from split buttons package
import { ProgressButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-splitbuttons';

import { AppComponent }  from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, ProgressButtonModule ], // Registering EJ2 ProgressButtonModule.
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

Adding Syncfusion ProgressButton component

Modify the template in app.component.ts file to render the ProgressButton component.

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

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<!-- To render progress button. -->
               <button ejs-progressbutton content='Spin Left'></button>`
})

export class AppComponent {
}

Adding CSS reference

Add ProgressButton component’s styles as given below in style.css.

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css";

Running the application

Run the application in the browser using the following command:

ng serve

The below example shows a basic ProgressButton component.

Preview

app.component.ts

app.module.ts

main.ts

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

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<!-- To render progress button. -->
               <button ejs-progressbutton content='Spin Left'></button>`
})

export class AppComponent {
}

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ProgressButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-splitbuttons';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

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

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';

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

ProgressButton supports different styles, types and sizes like Button. In addition, it also supports top and bottom icon positions.

You can enable the background filler UI by setting the enableProgress property to true.
