Item Configuration in JavaScript (ES5) Toolbar control

20 Apr 2021 / 4 minutes to read

The Toolbar can be rendered by defining an array of items. Items can be constructed with the following built-in command types or item template.

Button

Button is the default command type, and it can be rendered by using the text property. Properties of the button command type:

Property	Description
`text`	The text to be displayed for button.
`id`	The ID of the button to be rendered. If the ID is not given, auto ID is generated.
`prefixIcon`	Defines the class used to specify an icon for the button. The icon is `positioned before` the text if text is available or the icon alone button is rendered.
`suffixIcon`	Defines the class used to specify an icon for the button. The icon is `positioned after` the text if text is available. If both `prefixIcon` and `suffixIcon` are specified, only `prefixIcon` is considered.
`width`	Used to set the `width` of the button.
`align`	Specifies the location for aligning Toolbar items.

Separator

The Separator type adds a vertical separation between the Toolbar’s single/multiple commands.

If Separator is added as the first or the last item, it will not be visible.

Input

The Input type is only applicable for adding template elements when the template property is defined as an object. Input type creates an input element internally that acts as the container for Syncfusion input based components.

NumericTextBox

The NumericTextBox component can be included by importing the NumericTextBox module from ej2-inputs.
Initialize the NumericTextBox in template property, where the Toolbar item type is set as Input.
Related NumericTextBox component properties can also be configured as given below.

new NumericTextBox( { format: 'c2' }))

DropDownList

The DropDownList component can be included by importing the DropDownList module from ej2-dropdowns.
Initialize the DropDownList in template property, where the Toolbar item type is set as Input.
Related DropDownList component properties can also be configured as given below.

new DropDownList({ width:100 })

CheckBox

The CheckBox component can be included by importing the CheckBox module from ej2-buttons.
Initialize the CheckBox in template property, where the Toolbar item type is set as Input.
Related CheckBox component properties can also be configured as given below.

new CheckBox({ label: 'Default' })

RadioButton

The RadioButton component can be included by importing the RadioButton module from ej2-buttons.
Initialize the RadioButton in template property, where the Toolbar item type is set as Input.
Related RadioButton component properties can also be configured as given below.

new RadioButton({ label: 'Option 1', name: 'default'})

The above steps are applicable for all ‘Syncfusion’ input based components.
