Customize dropdown button item

You can customize the dropdown button item by specifying a custom cssClass using the beforeItemRender event.

The following sample showcases how to customize a specific dropdown item.

import { Ribbon, RibbonTabModel, RibbonItemType } from "@syncfusion/ej2-ribbon";
import { MenuEventArgs } from "@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons";

let tabs: RibbonTabModel[] = [
  {
    header: "Insert",
    groups: [
      {
        header: "Tables",
        collections: [
          {
            items: [
              {
                type: RibbonItemType.DropDown,
                id: 'dropdownItem',
                dropDownSettings: {
                  iconCss: 'e-icons e-table',
                  content: 'Table',
                  items: [
                    { text: 'Insert Table' },
                    { text: 'Draw Table' },
                    { text: 'Convert Table' },
                    { text: 'Excel SpreadSheet' },
                  ],
                  beforeItemRender:(args: MenuEventArgs) => {
                    if (args.item.text === 'Insert Table') {
                      args.element.classList.add("e-custom-class");
                   }
                 }
                },
              },
            ],
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
];

let ribbon: Ribbon = new Ribbon({
    tabs: tabs
});
ribbon.appendTo("#ribbon");

Combobox items

You can render the built-in comboBox Ribbon item by setting the type property to ComboBox. You can also customize the comboBox item through RibbonComboBoxSettingsModel, which provides options such as allowFiltering, autoFill, index, sortOrder and more.

Filtering

You can use the allowFiltering property to filter the data items. The filtering operation is initiated automatically, as soon as you start typing characters. If no match is found the value of the noRecordsTemplate property will be displayed. By default, the value is false.

import { Ribbon, RibbonTabModel, RibbonItemType } from "@syncfusion/ej2-ribbon";

let fontStyle: string[] = ["Algerian", "Arial", "Calibri", "Cambria", "Cambria Math", "Courier New", "Candara", "Georgia"];
let tabs: RibbonTabModel[] = [{
    header: "Home",
    groups: [{
        header: "Font",
        collections: [
          {
            items: [{
                type: RibbonItemType.ComboBox,
                comboBoxSettings: {
                    dataSource: fontStyle,
                    index: 3,
                    allowFiltering: true
                }
            }]
        }]
    }]
}];

let ribbon: Ribbon = new Ribbon({ tabs: tabs });
ribbon.appendTo("#ribbon");

Index

You can use the index property to get or set the selected item in the combobox.

import { Ribbon, RibbonTabModel, RibbonItemType } from "@syncfusion/ej2-ribbon";

let fontStyle: string[] = ["Algerian", "Arial", "Calibri", "Cambria", "Cambria Math", "Courier New", "Candara", "Georgia"];
let tabs: RibbonTabModel[] = [{
    header: "Home",
    groups: [{
        header: "Font",
        collections: [
          {
            items: [{
                type: RibbonItemType.ComboBox,
                comboBoxSettings: {
                    dataSource: fontStyle,
                    index: 3
                }
            }]
        }]
    }]
}];

let ribbon: Ribbon = new Ribbon({ tabs: tabs });
ribbon.appendTo("#ribbon");

SortOrder

You can use the sortOrder property to specify the order in which the DataSource should be sorted.

`None` The data source is not sorted.
`Ascending` The data source is sorted in ascending order.
`Descending` The data source is sorted in descending order.

          {
            items: [{
                type: RibbonItemType.GroupButton,
                allowedSizes: RibbonItemSize.Small,
                groupButtonSettings: {
                    items: [{
                        iconCss: 'e-icons e-align-left'
                    },
                    {
                        iconCss: 'e-icons e-align-center'
                    },
                    {
                        iconCss: 'e-icons e-align-right'
                    },
                    {

Groupbutton in simplified mode layout

In simplified mode, the groupbutton will be rendered as a dropdownbutton. The dropdownbutton icon will be updated based on the button item selected. The initial button icon will be the set, if none of the buttons are selected.

import { Ribbon, RibbonTabModel, RibbonItemType, RibbonGroupButtonSelection, RibbonItemSize } from "@syncfusion/ej2-ribbon";

let tabs: RibbonTabModel[] = [{
    header: "Home",
    groups: [{
        header: "Paragraph",

                    },

Custom items

You can customize the ribbon items with non-built-in items or HTML content by setting the type property to Template. This provides an option to customize the ribbon items with greater flexibility.

import { Ribbon, RibbonTabModel, RibbonItemType } from "@syncfusion/ej2-ribbon";

let tabs: RibbonTabModel[] = [{
    header: "Home",
    groups: [
        {
            header: 'Templates',
            isCollapsible: false,
            collections: [
              {
                items: [
                  {
                    type: RibbonItemType.Template,
                    itemTemplate: '#customItem'
                }
                ],
              },
            ],
        }, {
        header: "Multimedia",
        collections: [
          {
            items: [{
                type: RibbonItemType.Template,
                itemTemplate: "#itemTemplate"
            }]
        }]
    }]
}];

Items display Mode

You can use the displayOptions property to display the items in the Ribbon layout.

`Auto` The items are displayed in all layouts based on the ribbon's overflow state.
`Classic` The items are displayed only in the classic layout group.
`Simplified` The items are displayed only in the simplified layout group.
`Overflow` The items are displayed only in the overflow popup.

Display items in Classic only

To diplay the items only in the classic layout group, set the mode as DisplayMode.Classic in the displayOptions property.

import { Ribbon, RibbonTabModel, RibbonItemType, DisplayMode } from "@syncfusion/ej2-ribbon";

let tabs: RibbonTabModel[] = [{
    header: "Home",
    groups: [{
        header: "Font",
        collections: [
          {
            items: [{
                type: RibbonItemType.Button,
                displayOptions: DisplayMode.Classic,
                buttonSettings: {
                    content: "Cut",
                    iconCss: "e-icons e-cut"
                }
            }]
        }]
    }]
}];

let ribbon: Ribbon = new Ribbon({ tabs: tabs });
ribbon.appendTo("#ribbon");

Display items in Simplified only

To diplay the items only in the simplified layout group, set the mode as DisplayMode.Simplified in the displayOptions property.

import { Ribbon, RibbonTabModel, RibbonItemType, DisplayMode } from "@syncfusion/ej2-ribbon";

let tabs: RibbonTabModel[] = [{
    header: "Home",
    groups: [{
        header: "Font",
        collections: [
          {
            items: [{
                type: RibbonItemType.Button,
                displayOptions: DisplayMode.Simplified,
                buttonSettings: {
                    content: "Cut",
                    iconCss: "e-icons e-cut"
                }
            }]
        }]
    }]
}];

let ribbon: Ribbon = new Ribbon({ tabs: tabs });
ribbon.appendTo("#ribbon");

Display items in Overflow popup only

To diplay the items only in the overflow, set the mode as DisplayMode.Overflow in the displayOptions property.

import { Ribbon, RibbonTabModel, RibbonItemType, DisplayMode } from "@syncfusion/ej2-ribbon";

let tabs: RibbonTabModel[] = [{
    header: "Home",
    groups: [{
        header: "Font",
        collections: [
          {
            items: [{
                type: RibbonItemType.Button,
                displayOptions: DisplayMode.Overflow,
                buttonSettings: {
                    content: "Cut",
                    iconCss: "e-icons e-cut"
                }
            }]
        }]
    }]
}];

let ribbon: Ribbon = new Ribbon({ tabs: tabs });
ribbon.appendTo("#ribbon");

Enable or disable items

You can use the disabled property to disable a Ribbon item. It prevents the user interaction when set to true. By default, the value is false.

import { Ribbon, RibbonTabModel, RibbonItemType } from "@syncfusion/ej2-ribbon";

let tabs: RibbonTabModel[] = [{
    header: "Home",
    groups: [{
        header: "Clipboard",
        collections: [
          {
            items: [{
                type: RibbonItemType.Button,
                disabled: true,
                buttonSettings: {
                    content: "Cut",
                    iconCss: "e-icons e-cut"
                }
            },
            {
                type: RibbonItemType.CheckBox,
                disabled: true,
                checkBoxSettings: {
                    label: "Ruler",
                    checked: true
                }
            },
            {
                type: RibbonItemType.DropDown,
                disabled: true,
                dropDownSettings: {
                  content: "Table",
                  iconCss: "e-icons e-table",
                }
            },
            {
                type: RibbonItemType.SplitButton,
                disabled: true,
                splitButtonSettings: {
                  content: "Table",
                  iconCss: "e-icons e-table"
                }
            }]
        }]
    }]
}];

let ribbon: Ribbon = new Ribbon({
