Getting Started with Syncfusion JavaScript (ES5) UI control in a quickstart application

This article provides a step-by-step introduction to configure Syncfusion JavaScript (ES5) UI control (Essential JS 2) and build a simple HTML web application.

Getting started by using local script and style references

Prerequisites

Setup development environment

  1. Create an app folder quickstart for getting started.

  2. The Syncfusion JavaScript (ES5) control needs it’s dependent control resources. The Syncfusion JavaScript control dependencies are listed in the corresponding control’s getting started documentation. For getting started the Button control is used in this application and refer to this documentation to learn about the button control dependencies.

    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\16.3.0.17\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-base\dist\global\ej2-base.min.js

    Control Script: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\16.3.0.17\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-buttons\dist\global\ej2-buttons.min.js

    Dependency Styles: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\16.3.0.17\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-base\styles\material.css

    Control Styles: C:\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\JavaScript - EJ2\16.3.0.17\Web (Essential JS 2)\JavaScript\ej2-buttons\styles\material.css

    The below located 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

    The Custom Resource Generator (CRG) is an online web tool, which can be used to generate the custom script and styles for a set of specific controls. This web tool is useful to combine the required control scripts and styles in a single file.

  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.

Configure Syncfusion JavaScript (ES5) control in the application

  1. Open the application in VS Code and create a HTML file ~/quickstart/index.html and add the Syncfusion JavaScript (ES5) control’s script and style references.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <title>Syncfusion JavaScript (ES5) UI Control</title>
        <!-- Essential JS 2 Base's material theme (Dependency Styles) -->
        <link href="resources/base/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

        <!-- Essential JS 2 Button's material theme (Control Styles) -->
        <link href="resources/button/material.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>

        <!-- Essential JS 2 Base's global script (Dependency Script) -->
        <script src="resources/base/ej2-base.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

        <!-- Essential JS 2 Button's global script (Control Script) -->
        <script src="resources/button/ej2-buttons.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
        ....
        ....
    </body>
  </html>

  2. Now, add the Button element and initiate the Syncfusion JavaScript (ES5) Button control in the ~/quickstart/index.html by using below code.

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        ....
        ....
    </head>
    <body>
        <h2>Essential JS 2 Button</h2>
        <!-- Add HTML button element -->
        <button id="btn">Button</button>

        <script>
            // Initialize Essential JS 2 JavaScript Button control
            var button = new ej.buttons.Button({ isPrimary: true });
            button.appendTo('#btn');
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

  3. Finally, run the ~/quickstart/index.html file in the web browser and it will render the Syncfusion JavaScript Button control.
