10 Feb 202612 minutes to read

This section explains the steps required to create a simple Essential^® JS 2 Floating Action Button and demonstrate the basic usage of the Floating Action Button control in a JavaScript application.

Dependencies

The list of dependencies required to use the Floating Action Button component in your application is given below:

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

Setup for local environment

Refer to the following steps to set up your local environment.

Step 1: Create a root folder named my-app for your application.

Step 2: Create a my-app/resources folder to store local scripts and styles files.

Step 3: Open Visual Studio Code and create my-app/index.js and my-app/index.html files to initialize the Essential^® JS 2 Floating Action Button control.

Adding Syncfusion^® resources

The Essential^® JS 2 Floating Action Button control can be initialized by using either of the following ways.

Using local script and style.
Using CDN link for script and style.

Using local script and style references in a HTML page

Step 1: Create an app folder quickstart for getting started.

Step 2: Obtain the global scripts and styles from the Essential Studio^® JavaScript (Essential^® JS 2) build installed location.

Syntax:

Dependency Script: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\{DEPENDENCY_PACKAGE_NAME}\dist\global\{DEPENDENCY_PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Control Script: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\{PACKAGE_NAME}\dist\global\{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Dependency Styles: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\{DEPENDENCY_PACKAGE_NAME}\styles\material.css

Control Styles: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\{PACKAGE_NAME}\styles\material.css

Example:

Dependency Script: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\20.3.0.47\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-base\dist\global\ej2-base.min.js

Control Script: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\20.3.0.47\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-buttons\dist\global\ej2-buttons.min.js

Dependency Styles: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\20.3.0.47\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-base\styles\material.css

Control Styles: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\20.3.0.47\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-buttons\styles\material.css

The following script and style file contains all Syncfusion^® JavaScript (ES5) UI control resources in a single file:

Scripts: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2\dist\ej2.min.js

Styles: **(installed location)**\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\{RELEASE_VERSION}\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2\material.css

Use the Custom Resource Generator (CRG) online web tool to generate custom scripts and styles for specific controls. This tool is useful for combining required control scripts and styles in a single file.

Step 3: Create a folder ~/quickstart/resources and copy/paste the global scripts and styles from the above installed location to ~/quickstart/resources/package corresponding package location.

Step 4: Create a HTML page (index.html) in ~/quickstart/index.html location and add the JavaScript (ES5) script and style references.

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>JavaScript (ES5)</title>
            <!-- JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button's dependency style -->
            <link href="resources/base/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button's control style -->
            <link href="resources/buttons/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button's dependency global script -->
            <script src="resources/base/ej2-base.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

            <!-- JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button's control global script -->
            <script src="resources/buttons/ej2-buttons.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 5: Now, add the Floating Action Button element and initiate the JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button control in the index.html by using following code

<!DOCTYPE html>
  <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
       <head>
            <title>JavaScript (ES5)</title>
            <!-- JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button's dependency style -->
            <link href="resources/base/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button's control style -->
            <link href="resources/buttons/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

            <!-- JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button's dependency global script -->
            <script src="resources/base/ej2-base.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

            <!-- JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button's control global script -->
            <script src="resources/buttons/ej2-buttons.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
       </head>
       <body>
            <!--Element to render the Floating Action Button control-->
            <button id='fab'></button>
            <script>
                // Initialize Floating Action Button control
                var fab = new ej.buttons.Fab({ content:'Add'});

                // Render initialized Floating Action Button.
                fab.appendTo('#fab');
            </script>
       </body>
  </html>

Step 6: Now, run the index.html in web browser, it will render the Syncfusion^® JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button control.

Using CDN link for script and style reference

Step 1: Create an app folder quickstart for getting started.

Step 2: The JavaScript (ES5) control scripts and styles are hosted in the following CDN link formats:

Syntax:

Dependency Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{DEPENDENCY_PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Control Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/dist/global/{PACKAGE_NAME}.min.js

Dependency Styles: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{DEPENDENCY_PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Control Styles: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{PACKAGE_NAME}/styles/material.css

Example:

Script: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-buttons/dist/global/ej2-buttons.min.js

Styles: https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css

Step 3: Create a HTML page (index.html) in ~/quickstart/index.html location and add the CDN link references. Now, add the Floating Action Button element and initiate the JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button control in the index.html by using following code.

index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head>
  <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/syncfusion-helper.js"></script>
  <title>JavaScript (ES5)</title>
  <!-- JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button's dependency style -->
  <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/32.2.3/ej2-base/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

  <!-- JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button's control style -->
  <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/32.2.3/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

  <!-- JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button's dependency global script -->
  <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/32.2.3/ej2-base/dist/global/ej2-base.min.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script>

  <!-- JavaScript (ES5) Floating Action Button's control global script -->
  <script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/32.2.3/ej2-buttons/dist/global/ej2-buttons.min.js"
    type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/syncfusion-helper.js" type ="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

<body>
  <!--Element to render the Floating Action Button control-->
  <button id='fab'></button>
  <div id="targetElement" style="position:relative;min-height:350px;border:1px solid;"></div>
  <script>
    ej.base.enableRipple(true);

    // initialize Floating Action Button control
    var fab = new ej.buttons.Fab({ content: 'Add', target: "#targetElement" });

    // Render initialized Floating Action Button.
    fab.appendTo('#fab');
  </script>
  <script>
    var ele = document.getElementById('container');
    if (ele) {
      ele.style.visibility = "visible";
    }   
  </script>
</body>

</html>

Step 4: Run the index.html in a web browser to render the Syncfusion^® JavaScript Floating Action Button control.

Click event

The Floating Action Button control triggers the onclick event when clicked. You can use this event to perform the required action:

index.js
index.html
styles.css
ej.base.enableRipple(true);

// Initialize the Floating Action Button control
var fab = new ej.buttons.Fab({
    iconCss: 'e-icons e-edit', 
    content:'Edit' });

// Render initialized Floating Action Button
fab.appendTo('#fab');

// onclick event handler
fab.element.onclick = function() {
    alert("Edit is clicked!");
};
