Getting started in EJ2 TypeScript Progress button control

7 May 20259 minutes to read

This section explains how to create a simple ProgressButton, and configure its available functionalities in TypeScript, using Essential^® JS 2 quickstart seed repository.

This application is integrated with the webpack.config.js configuration and uses the latest version of the webpack-cli. It requires node v14.15.0 or higher. For more information about webpack and its features, refer to the webpack documentation.

Dependencies

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

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons

Set up development environment

Open the command prompt from the required directory, and run the following command to clone the Syncfusion^® JavaScript (Essential^® JS 2) quickstart project from GitHub.

CMD
git clone https://github.com/SyncfusionExamples/ej2-quickstart-webpack- ej2-quickstart

After cloning the application in the ej2-quickstart folder, run the following command line to navigate to the ej2-quickstart folder.

CMD
cd ej2-quickstart

Add Syncfusion^® JavaScript packages

Syncfusion^® JavaScript (Essential^® JS 2) packages are available on the npmjs.com public registry. You can install all Syncfusion^® JavaScript (Essential^® JS 2) controls in a single @syncfusion/ej2 package or individual packages for each control.

The quickstart application is preconfigured with the dependent @syncfusion/ej2 package in the ~/package.json file. Use the following command to install the dependent npm packages from the command prompt.

npm install

Import the Syncfusion^® CSS styles

To render ProgressButton component, need to import Button and its dependent components styles as given below in the ~/src/styles/styles.css file, as shown below:

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";

Add ProgressButton to the project

Add the HTML button tag with id attribute as the element to your index.html file.

[src/index.html]

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" />
</head>

<body>
    <div>
        <!--element which is going to render-->
         <button id="element"></button>
    </div>

</body>

</html>

Import the ProgressButton component in your app.ts file and initialize it to #element as shown in the following.

[src/app/app.ts]

app.ts
import { ProgressButton } from '@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons';

// Initialize the ProgressButton component.
let progressBtn: ProgressButton = new ProgressButton({content: 'Spin Left' });

// Render initialized ProgressButton.
progressBtn.appendTo('#element');

Run the application

Run the application in the browser using the following command:

npm start

The following example shows a basic ProgressButton component.

index.ts
index.html
styles.css
import { ProgressButton } from '@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons';

// Initialize the ProgressButton component.
let progressBtn: ProgressButton = new ProgressButton({content: 'Spin Left'});

// Render initialized ProgressButton.
progressBtn.appendTo('#progressbtn');

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

Enable progress in button

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

index.ts
index.html
import { ProgressButton } from '@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(false);

// Initialize the ProgressButton component.
let progressBtn: ProgressButton = new ProgressButton({content: 'Spin Left', enableProgress: true});

// Render initialized ProgressButton.
progressBtn.appendTo('#progressbtn');
