Getting started in EJ2 TypeScript Toolbar control
3 Nov 20236 minutes to read
This section explains how to create a simple Toolbar using TypeScript, and how to configure ToolBar items like button, separator, and input components 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 nodev14.15.0
or higher. For more information about webpack and its features, refer to the webpack documentation.
Dependencies
The following list of dependencies are required to use the Toolbar component in your application.
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-navigations
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons
|-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
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.
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.
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
The Toolbar CSS files are available in the ej2-navigations
package folder. This can be referenced in the ~/src/styles/styles.css
file of your application using the following code.
@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';
@import '../../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-navigations/styles/material.css';
Initialize the Toolbar with commands
The Toolbar can be rendered by defining an array of items
. An item is rendered with text by defining the default item type as a Button
. For more information about item configuration, refer to the Item Configuration section.
- Add the HTML div tag with its
id
attribute set toelement
in yourindex.html
file where you will initialize the Toolbar.
[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" />

</head>
<body>
<div style="margin: 50px;">
<div id="element"></div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
- Import the Toolbar component to your
app.ts
file, and initialize it to the element#element
as shown below.
[src/app/app.ts]
import { Toolbar } from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';
// Initialize Toolbar component
let toolbarObj: Toolbar = new Toolbar( {
items: [
{ text: 'Cut' },
{ text: 'Copy' },
{ text: 'Paste' },
{ type: 'Separator'},
{ text: 'Bold' },
{ text: 'Italic' },
{ text: 'Underline' },
]
});
// Render initialized Toolbar
toolbarObj.appendTo('#element');
- Now, run the application in the browser using the following command.
npm start
Output will look like this:
import {Toolbar} from '@syncfusion/ej2-navigations';
let toolbar: Toolbar = new Toolbar({
items: [
{ text: 'Cut' },
{ text: 'Copy' },
{ text: 'Paste' },
{ type: 'Separator'},
{ text: 'Bold' },
{ text: 'Italic' },
{ text: 'Underline' },
]
});
toolbar.appendTo('#element');
