Spacer

Spacer is used to provide spacing between the AppBar contents which gives additional space to the content layout.

The following example depicts the code to provide spacing between the home and pan buttons in the AppBar:

index.jsx
index.tsx
import { AppBarComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations";
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
const App = () => {
    return (<div className='control-container'>
      <AppBarComponent colorMode="Primary">
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-home"></ButtonComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-cut"></ButtonComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-pan"></ButtonComponent>
      </AppBarComponent>
    </div>);
}
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('element'));
root.render(<App />);
import { AppBarComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations";
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div className='control-container'>
      <AppBarComponent colorMode="Primary">
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-home"></ButtonComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-cut"></ButtonComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-pan"></ButtonComponent>
      </AppBarComponent>
    </div>
  );
}

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('element'));
root.render(<App />);

Separator

Separator shows a vertical line to visually group or separate the AppBar contents.

The following example depicts the code to provide a vertical line between a group of buttons in the AppBar.

index.jsx
index.tsx
import { AppBarComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations";
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
const App = () => {
    return (<div className='control-container'>
      <AppBarComponent colorMode="Primary">
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-cut"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-copy"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-paste"></ButtonComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-separator"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-bold"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-underline"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-italic"></ButtonComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-separator"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-align-left"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-align-right"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-align-center"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-justify"></ButtonComponent>
      </AppBarComponent>
    </div>);
}
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('element'));
root.render(<App />);
import { AppBarComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations";
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div className='control-container'>
      <AppBarComponent colorMode="Primary">
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-cut"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-copy"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-paste"></ButtonComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-separator"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-bold"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-underline"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-italic"></ButtonComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-separator"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-align-left"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-align-right"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-align-center"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-justify"></ButtonComponent>
      </AppBarComponent>
    </div>
  );
}

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('element'));
root.render(<App />);

Media Query

Media Query is used to adjusting the AppBar for different screen sizes. Resize the screen to observe the responsive layout of the AppBar.

index.jsx
index.tsx
import { AppBarComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations";
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
const App = () => {
    return (<div className='control-container'>
      <AppBarComponent colorMode="Primary">
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-menu"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">Home</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">About</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">Products</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">Contacts</ButtonComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <div className="e-appbar-separator"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">Login</ButtonComponent>
      </AppBarComponent>
    </div>);
}
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('element'));
root.render(<App />);
import { AppBarComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations";
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <div className='control-container'>
      <AppBarComponent colorMode="Primary">
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-menu"></ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">Home</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">About</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">Products</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">Contacts</ButtonComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <div className="e-appbar-separator"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">Login</ButtonComponent>
      </AppBarComponent>
    </div>
  );
}

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('element'));
root.render(<App />);

AppBar is rendered with a Menu component in its AppBar header area. Menu component’s styles are inherited from the AppBar component using the e-inherit CSS class.

index.jsx
index.tsx
import { AppBarComponent, MenuComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations";
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
const App = () => {
    const companyMenuItems = [
        {
            text: 'Company',
            items: [
                { text: 'About Us' },
                { text: 'Customers' },
                { text: 'Blog' },
                { text: 'Careers' }
            ]
        }
    ];
    const productMenuItems = [
        {
            text: 'Products',
            items: [
                { text: 'Developer' },
                { text: 'Analytics' },
                { text: 'Reporting' },
                { text: 'Help Desk' }
            ]
        }
    ];
    const aboutMenuItems = [
        {
            text: 'About Us'
        }
    ];
    const carrerMenuItems = [
        {
            text: 'Carrers'
        }
    ];
    return (<div className='control-container'>
      <AppBarComponent colorMode="Primary">
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-menu"></ButtonComponent>
        <MenuComponent cssClass="e-inherit" items={companyMenuItems}></MenuComponent>
        <MenuComponent cssClass="e-inherit" items={productMenuItems}></MenuComponent>
        <MenuComponent cssClass="e-inherit" items={aboutMenuItems}></MenuComponent>
        <MenuComponent cssClass="e-inherit" items={carrerMenuItems}></MenuComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">Login</ButtonComponent>
      </AppBarComponent>
    </div>);
}
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('element'));
root.render(<App />);
import { AppBarComponent, MenuComponent, MenuItemModel } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations";
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

const App = () => {
  const companyMenuItems: MenuItemModel[] = [
    {
      text: 'Company',
      items: [
        { text: 'About Us' },
        { text: 'Customers' },
        { text: 'Blog' },
        { text: 'Careers' }
      ]
    }
  ];
  const productMenuItems: MenuItemModel[] = [

        { text: 'Analytics' },
        { text: 'Reporting' },
        { text: 'Help Desk' }
      ]
    }
  ];
  const aboutMenuItems: MenuItemModel[] = [
    {
      text: 'About Us'
    }
  ];
  const carrerMenuItems: MenuItemModel[] = [
    {
      text: 'Carrers'
    }
  ];
  return (
    <div className='control-container'>
      <AppBarComponent colorMode="Primary">
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-menu"></ButtonComponent>
        <MenuComponent cssClass="e-inherit" items={companyMenuItems}></MenuComponent>
        <MenuComponent cssClass="e-inherit" items={productMenuItems}></MenuComponent>

        <MenuComponent cssClass="e-inherit" items={carrerMenuItems}></MenuComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">Login</ButtonComponent>
      </AppBarComponent>
    </div>
  );
}

const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('element'));
root.render(<App />);

Designing AppBar with Buttons

The AppBar is rendered with a Button and DropDownButton component in its AppBar header area. Button and DropDownButton components’ styles are inherited from the AppBar component using the e-inherit CSS class.

index.jsx
index.tsx
import { AppBarComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations";
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import { DropDownButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
const App = () => {
    const productDropDownButtonItems = [
        { text: 'Developer' },
        { text: 'Analytics' },
        { text: 'Reporting' },
        { text: 'E-Signature' },
        { text: 'Help Desk' }
    ];
    return (<div className='control-container'>
      <AppBarComponent colorMode="Primary">
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-menu"></ButtonComponent>
        <DropDownButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" items={productDropDownButtonItems}>Products</DropDownButtonComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">Login</ButtonComponent>
      </AppBarComponent>
    </div>);
}
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('element'));
root.render(<App />);
import { AppBarComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations";
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import { DropDownButtonComponent, ItemModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

const App = () => {
  const productDropDownButtonItems: ItemModel[] = [
    { text: 'Developer' },
    { text: 'Analytics' },
    { text: 'Reporting' },
    { text: 'E-Signature' },
    { text: 'Help Desk' }
  ];
  return (
    <div className='control-container'>
      <AppBarComponent colorMode="Primary">
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-menu"></ButtonComponent>
        <DropDownButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" items={productDropDownButtonItems}>Products</DropDownButtonComponent>
        <div className="e-appbar-spacer"></div>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit">Login</ButtonComponent>
      </AppBarComponent>
    </div>
  );
}
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('element'));
root.render(<App />);

The AppBar is rendered with the SideBar component below the AppBar. Click on the menu icon to expand/collapse the Sidebar. In the following sample, the toggle method has been used to show or hide the Sidebar on the AppBar button click.

index.jsx
index.tsx
index.css
import * as React from "react";
import { useState, useRef } from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
import { AppBarComponent, TreeViewComponent, SidebarComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations";
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import { TextBoxComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';

const App = () => {
  const [isOpen, setIsOpen] = useState < boolean > (true);
  const sidebarRef = useRef < SidebarComponent > (null);
  const data = [
    {
      nodeId: '01', nodeText: 'Installation',
    },
    {
      nodeId: '02', nodeText: 'Deployment',
    },
    {
      nodeId: '03', nodeText: 'Quick Start',
    },
    {
      nodeId: '04', nodeText: 'Components',
      nodeChild: [
        { nodeId: '04-01', nodeText: 'Calendar' },
        { nodeId: '04-02', nodeText: 'DatePicker' },
        { nodeId: '04-03', nodeText: 'DateTimePicker' },
        { nodeId: '04-04', nodeText: 'DateRangePicker' },
        { nodeId: '04-05', nodeText: 'TimePicker' },
        { nodeId: '04-06', nodeText: 'SideBar' }
      ]
    }
  ];
  const width = '220px';
  const target = '.main-sidebar-content';
  const mediaQuery = '(min-width: 600px)';
  const fields = { dataSource: data, id: 'nodeId', text: 'nodeText', child: 'nodeChild' };

  const toggleSidebar = () => {
    setIsOpen(!isOpen);
  }

  return (
    <div className="control-container" id="responsive-wrapper">
      <div id="reswrapper">
        <div>
          <AppBarComponent>
            <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-inherit" iconCss="e-icons e-menu" onClick={toggleSidebar}></ButtonComponent>
            <div className="e-folder">
              <div className="e-folder-name">Navigation Pane</div>
            </div>

            </div>
            <div>
              <TreeViewComponent id='mainTree' cssClass="main-treeview" fields={fields} expandOn='Click' />
            </div>
          </div>
        </SidebarComponent>
        <div className="main-sidebar-content" id="main-text">
          <div className="sidebar-content">
            <div className="sidebar-heading"> Responsive Sidebar with Treeview</div>
            <p className="paragraph-content">
              This is a graphical aid for visualising and categorising the site, in the style of an expandable and collapsable treeview component.
              It auto-expands to display the node(s), if any, corresponding to the currently viewed title, highlighting that node(s)
              and its ancestors. Load-on-demand when expanding nodes is available where supported (most graphical browsers),
              falling back to a full-page reload. MediaWiki-supported caching, aside from squid, has been considered so that
              unnecessary re-downloads of content are avoided where possible. The complete expanded/collapsed state of
              the treeview persists across page views in most situations.
