Template configuration in EJ2 JavaScript Toolbar control

2 May 202316 minutes to read

The JavaScript Toolbar can be rendered by item based collection and by HTML elements. To render it based on the given HTML element, use id as the target property. To render the Toolbar, follow the below structure of the HTML elements:

  <div id='template_toolbar'>   --> Root Toolbar Element
    <div>      --> Toolbar Items Container
       <div>   --> Toolbar Item Element
       </div>
    </div>
  </div>

Here, the template ID, #template_toolbar is directly appended to the Toolbar.

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

//Initialize Toolbar component
var toolbar = new ej.navigations.Toolbar({});

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

Popup is one of the supported responsive modes of the Toolbar. The Toolbar commands, popup mode priority and button text mode customizations are achieved in the item based rendering through property declaration. For more information on popup mode, refer here

The above behavior can also be achieved with template rendering by defining equivalent class names instead of property declaration.

Equivalent class names listed below are needed to add the Toolbar items’ div element.

Priority

Class	Description
e-overflow-show	Commands are always displayed on the `Toolbar with primary` priority.
e-overflow-hide	Commands are always displayed in the `popup with secondary` priority.

Button text mode

Class	Description
e-popup-text	Button text is only visible in the `Popup`.
e-toolbar-text	Button text is only visible on the `Toolbar`.

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

//Initialize Toolbar component

var toolbar = new ej.navigations.Toolbar({ width: 300 , overflowMode: 'Popup'  });

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

You can integrate menu component as toolbar item in Toolbar using template property. Menu can be populated with items as needed.

index.js
index.html
ej.base.enableRipple(true);
var menuTemplate = '<ul id="menu"></ul>';
var data = [
  {
    text: 'Appliances',
    items: [
      {
        text: 'Kitchen',
        items: [
          { text: 'Electric Cookers' },
          { text: 'Coffee Makers' },
          { text: 'Blenders' },
        ],
      },
      {
        text: 'Washing Machine',
        items: [{ text: 'Fully Automatic' }, { text: 'Semi Automatic' }],
      },
