8 Aug 20238 minutes to read
This section explains how to create a simple Button and to configure the Button component.
Dependencies
The list of dependencies required to use the Button component in your application is given below:
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
Setup your development environment
To get started with the Button component, you can clone the Essential JS 2 quickstart project using the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/syncfusion/ej2-quickstart.git quickstart
cd quickstart
npm install
The project is preconfigured with common settings (
src/styles/styles.css
,system.config.js
)
to start all the Essential JS 2 components.
- Refer to the Button component dependencies in
system.config.js
configuration file.
[src/system.config.js]
System.config({
paths: {
'npm:': './node_modules/',
'syncfusion:': 'npm:@syncfusion/'
},
map: {
app: 'app',
//Syncfusion packages mapping
"@syncfusion/ej2-base": "syncfusion:ej2-base/dist/ej2-base.umd.min.js",
"@syncfusion/ej2-data": "syncfusion:ej2-data/dist/ej2-data.umd.min.js",
"@syncfusion/ej2-inputs": "syncfusion:ej2-inputs/dist/ej2-inputs.umd.min.js",
"@syncfusion/ej2-buttons": "syncfusion:ej2-buttons/dist/ej2-buttons.umd.min.js",
"@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons": "syncfusion:ej2-splitbuttons/dist/ej2-splitbuttons.umd.min.js",
"@syncfusion/ej2-lists": "syncfusion:ej2-lists/dist/ej2-lists.umd.min.js",
"@syncfusion/ej2-popups": "syncfusion:ej2-popups/dist/ej2-popups.umd.min.js",
"@syncfusion/ej2-dropdowns": "syncfusion:ej2-dropdowns/dist/ej2-dropdowns.umd.min.js",
},
packages: {
'app': { main: 'app', defaultExtension: 'js' }
}
});
System.import('app.ts').catch(console.error.bind(console)).then(function () {
document.getElementById('loader').style.display = "none";
document.getElementById('container').style.visibility = "visible";
});
Add Button to the project
Add the HTML Button tag with id attribute as the element
to your index.html
file.
[src/index.html]
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Essential JS 2</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<meta name="description" content="Essential JS 2" />
<meta name="author" content="Syncfusion" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="resources/favicon.ico" />
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<!--Style reference from app-->
<link href="/styles/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<!--System js reference and configuration-->
<script src="node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="system.config.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<!--Element which is going to render-->
<button id="element">Button</button>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Then, import the Button component in your app.ts
file, and initialize it with the #element
.
[src/app/app.ts]
import { Button } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons';
// Initialize Button component.
let button: Button = new Button({ content: 'Button' });
// Render initialized Button.
button.appendTo('#element');
Adding Style sheet to the Application
To render Button component, need to import Button and its dependent components 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";
Run the application
Run the application in the browser using the following command:
npm start
The following example shows a basic Button component.
import { Button } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
enableRipple(true);
// Initialize the Button component.
let button: Button = new Button({ content: 'Button' });
// Render initialized button.
button.appendTo('#element');

Change Button type
To change the default Button to flat Button, set the cssClass
property to e-flat
and text content of the Button is set using content
property.
import { Button } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
enableRipple(true);
//To change the Button type.
let button: Button = new Button({ cssClass: 'e-flat', content: 'Button' });
button.appendTo('#element');
