This section explains how to create a simple ButtonGroup, and configure its available functionalities in React by using the React quickstart application.

Dependencies

The list of dependencies required to use the ButtonGroup component in your application is given below:

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons

Installation and Configuration

To easily set up a React application, use create-vite-app, which provides a faster development environment, smaller bundle sizes, and optimized builds compared to traditional tools like create-react-app. For detailed steps, refer to the Vite installation instructions. Vite sets up your environment using JavaScript and optimizes your application for production.

Note: To create a React application using create-react-app, refer to this documentation for more details.

To create a new React application, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app

To set-up a React application in TypeScript environment, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react-ts
cd my-app
npm run dev

To set-up a React application in JavaScript environment, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react
cd my-app
npm run dev

Adding Syncfusion® packages

All the available Essential® JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com public registry.

To install ButtonGroup component, use the following command

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons --save

Adding CSS Reference

Import the ButtonGroup component’s required CSS references as follows in src/App.css.

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css";

Adding ButtonGroup component to the Application

To include the ButtonGroup component in your application, add a HTML div tag with class name as e-btn-group and to render button
as react component, Button dependencies should be added.

Then import the ButtonComponent from ej2-react-buttons package and add button
elements that should be group inside the div in App.tsx.

Add the ButtonGroup component in application as shown in below code example.

import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import './App.css';
// Import the Button.

// To render ButtonGroup.
function App() {
  return (
    <div className='e-btn-group' style={{marginTop: '150px'}}>
      <ButtonComponent>HTML</ButtonComponent>
      <ButtonComponent>CSS</ButtonComponent>
      <ButtonComponent>Javascript</ButtonComponent>
    </div>
  );
}
export default App;

Run the application

Now run the npm run dev command in the console to start the development server. This command compiles your code and serves the application locally, opening it in the browser.

    npm run dev

The following example shows a basic ButtonGroup component.

import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';
// To render ButtonGroup.
function App() {
    return (<div>
      <div className='e-btn-group'>
        <ButtonComponent>HTML</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent>CSS</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent>Javascript</ButtonComponent>
      </div>
    </div>);
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />, document.getElementById('buttongroup'));
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';

// To render ButtonGroup.
function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <div className='e-btn-group'>
        <ButtonComponent>HTML</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent>CSS</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent>Javascript</ButtonComponent>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />,document.getElementById('buttongroup'));
