app.component.ts

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

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<div id="targetElement" style="position:relative;min-height:350px;border:1px solid;"><div>
    <!-- To Render SpeedDial component. -->
    <button ejs-speeddial id="speeddial" content='Add' position='BottomLeft' target='#targetElement'></button>`
})

export class AppComponent { }

app.module.ts

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

/**
 * Module

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

main.ts

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

import 'zone.js';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

index.css

/* Represents the style for loader */
#loader {

Opens items on hover

You can open the Speed Dial action items on mouse hover by setting the opensOnHover property.

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

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<!-- To Render SpeedDial component. -->
    <button ejs-speeddial id="speeddial" openIconCss='e-icons e-edit' closeIconCss='e-icons e-close' target='#targetElement' [items]='items' [opensOnHover]= 'true'></button>`
})

export class AppComponent {
  public items: SpeedDialItemModel[] = [
    { iconCss: 'e-icons e-cut' },
    { iconCss: 'e-icons e-copy' },
    { iconCss: 'e-icons e-paste' }
  ];
}

Programmatically show/hide Speed Dial items

You can open/close the Speed Dial action items programmatically using show and hide methods.

Below example demonstrates open/close action items on button click.

app.component.ts

import { Component, ViewChild, HostListener } from '@angular/core';
import { SpeedDialComponent,SpeedDialItemModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<div id="targetElement" style="position:relative;min-height:340px;border:1px solid;padding:10px;">
    <button id="show" (click)="show()">Show</button>
    <button id="hide" (click)="hide()">Hide</button><div>
    <!-- To Render SpeedDial component. -->
    <button ejs-speeddial #speeddial openIconCss='e-icons e-edit' closeIconCss='e-icons e-close' target='#targetElement' [opensOnHover]= 'true' [items]='items'></button>`
})

export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild('speeddial')
    public speeddialObj :SpeedDialComponent | any;

    public items: SpeedDialItemModel[] = [
        { iconCss: 'e-icons e-cut' },
        { iconCss: 'e-icons e-copy' },
        { iconCss: 'e-icons e-paste' }
    ];
    public show() {
        this.speeddialObj.show();
    }
    public hide() {
        this.speeddialObj.hide();
    }
}

app.module.ts

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

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

main.ts

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

import 'zone.js';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

index.css

/* Represents the styles for loader */
#loader {
  color: #008cff;
  height: 40px;
  left: 45%;
  position: absolute;
  top: 45%;
  width: 30%;
}

/* Represents the styles for button */
#hide{
  float: right;
}

Programmatically refresh the position

You can refresh the position of the Speed Dial using refreshPosition method when the targetposition is changed.

app.component.ts

import { Component, ViewChild, HostListener } from '@angular/core';
import { SpeedDialComponent,SpeedDialItemModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons';

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<div id="targetElement" style="position:relative;min-height:340px;border:1px solid;padding:10px;">
    <button id="refresh" (click)="refresh()">Refresh</button><div>
    <!-- To Render SpeedDial component. -->
    <button ejs-speeddial #speeddial openIconCss='e-icons e-edit' closeIconCss='e-icons e-close' position='MiddleRight' target='#targetElement' [items]='items'></button>`
})

export class AppComponent {
    @ViewChild('speeddial')
    public speeddialObj:SpeedDialComponent | any;

    public items: SpeedDialItemModel[] = [
        { iconCss: 'e-icons e-cut' },
        { iconCss: 'e-icons e-copy' },
        { iconCss: 'e-icons e-paste' }
    ];
    public refresh() {
        document.getElementById("targetElement")!.style.minHeight = "300px";
        this.speeddialObj.refreshPosition();
    }
}

app.module.ts

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

/**
 * Module

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

main.ts

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

import 'zone.js';
enableProdMode();
platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule);

index.css

/* Represents the styles for loader */
#loader {
  color: #008cff;
  height: 40px;
  left: 45%;
  position: absolute;
