SplitButton Icons

SplitButton can have an icon to provide the visual representation of the action. To place the icon on a SplitButton, set the iconCss property to e-icons with the required icon CSS. By default, the icon is positioned to the left side of the SplitButton. You can customize the icon’s position by using the iconPosition property

The following example illustrates how to place icon in SplitButton component.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { SplitButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-splitbuttons'


 
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { ItemModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-splitbuttons';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        SplitButtonModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<div class="e-section-control">
                <!-- To Render splitbutton. -->
               <ejs-splitbutton content="Paste" [items]='items' iconCss="e-sb-icons e-paste"></ejs-splitbutton>
               <ejs-splitbutton content="Paste" [items]='items' iconCss="e-sb-icons e-paste" iconPosition="Top"></ejs-splitbutton></div>`
})

export class AppComponent {
  public items: ItemModel[] = [
    {
        text: 'Cut'
    },
    {
        text: 'Copy'
    },
    {
        text: 'Paste'
    }
     ];
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent).catch((err) => console.error(err));

The Essential JS 2 provides a set of icons that can be loaded by applying e-icons class name to the element.
You can also use third party icons on the splitBtn using the iconCssproperty.

import { SplitButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-splitbuttons'


 
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { ItemModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-splitbuttons';

@Component({
imports: [
        
        SplitButtonModule
    ],


standalone: true,
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<div class="e-section-control">
                <!-- To Render splitbutton. -->
               <ejs-splitbutton content="Paste" [items]='items' iconCss="e-sb-icons e-paste" cssClass="e-vertical" iconPosition="Top"></ejs-splitbutton></div>`
})

export class AppComponent {
  public items: ItemModel[] = [
    {
        text: 'Cut'
    },
    {
        text: 'Copy'
    },
    {
        text: 'Paste'
    }
     ];
}
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import 'zone.js';
