Add toggle button in EJ2 JavaScript Toolbar control

20 Dec 202410 minutes to read

JavaScript Toolbar supports adding a toggle button by using the template property. Refer to the steps below:

By using the Toolbar template property, pass the required HTML string to render the toggle button.

    { template: '<button class="e-btn" id="media_btn"></button>' }

Now render the toggle button into the targeted element in the JavaScript Toolbar’s created event handler and bind a click event to it. On clicking the toggle button, change the required icon and content based on the current active state.

index.js
index.html
var undoBtn;
var zoomBtn;
var mediaBtn;
var filterBtn;
var visibleBtn;

//Initialize Toolbar component
var toolbar = new ej.navigations.Toolbar({
    created: create,
    items: [
        { template: '<button class="e-btn" id="media_btn"></button>' }, 
        { template: '<button class="e-btn" id="zoom_btn"></button>' },
        { type: "Separator" },
        { template: '<button class="e-btn" id="undo_btn"></button>' }, 
        { template: '<button class="e-btn" id="filter_btn"></button>' },
        { type: "Separator" },
        { template: '<button class="e-btn" id="visible_btn"></button>'},
    ]
});

//Render initialized Toolbar component
toolbar.appendTo('#element');

function create() {
    zoomBtn = new ej.buttons.Button({ cssClass: `e-flat`, iconCss: 'e-icons e-zoomin-icon', isToggle: true });
    zoomBtn.appendTo('#zoom_btn');

    mediaBtn = new ej.buttons.Button({ cssClass: `e-flat`, iconCss: 'e-icons e-play-icon', isToggle: true });
    mediaBtn.appendTo('#media_btn');

    undoBtn = new ej.buttons.Button({ cssClass: `e-flat`, iconCss: 'e-icons e-undo-icon', isToggle: true });

    filterBtn = new ej.buttons.Button({ cssClass: `e-flat`, iconCss: 'e-icons e-filter-icon', isToggle: true });
    filterBtn.appendTo('#filter_btn');

    visibleBtn = new ej.buttons.Button({ cssClass: `e-flat`, iconCss: 'e-icons e-hide-icon', isToggle: true, content:'Hide'});
    visibleBtn.appendTo('#visible_btn');

    //Toggle button click event handlers
    zoomBtn.element.onclick = function() {

        } else {
            mediaBtn.iconCss = 'e-icons e-play-icon';
        }
    };

    undoBtn.element.onclick = function() {
        if (undoBtn.element.classList.contains('e-active')) {
            undoBtn.iconCss = 'e-icons e-redo-icon';
        } else {
            undoBtn.iconCss = 'e-icons e-undo-icon';
        }
    };

    filterBtn.element.onclick = function() {
        if (filterBtn.element.classList.contains('e-active')) {

        } else {
            filterBtn.iconCss = 'e-icons e-filter-icon';
        }
    };

    visibleBtn.element.onclick = function() {
        if (visibleBtn.element.classList.contains('e-active')) {
            document.getElementById('content').style.display = 'none';
            visibleBtn.content = 'Show';
            visibleBtn.iconCss = 'e-icons e-show-icon';
        } else {
            document.getElementById('content').style.display = 'block';
            visibleBtn.content = 'Hide';
            visibleBtn.iconCss = 'e-icons e-hide-icon';
