ButtonGroup types

Outline ButtonGroup

An Outline ButtonGroup has a border with transparent background. To create Outline ButtonGroup, e-outline class should be added to the target element and to the button element using cssClass property.

The following sample illustrates how to achieve an Outline ButtonGroup,

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

ButtonGroup does not have support for flat and round types.

ButtonGroup styles

The Essential JS 2 ButtonGroup has the following predefined styles. This can be achieved by adding corresponding class name in each button elements using cssClass property.

Class Description
e-primary Used to represent a primary action.
e-success Used to represent a positive action.
e-info Used to represent an informative action.
e-warning Used to represent an action with caution.
e-danger Used to represent a negative action.

The following example illustrates how to achieve predefined styles in ButtonGroup.

import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';
// To render ButtonGroup with different styles.
function App() {
    return (<div>
      <div className='e-btn-group'>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass='e-info'>View</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent>Edit</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass='e-danger'>Delete</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 with different styles.
function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <div className='e-btn-group'>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass='e-info'>View</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent>Edit</ButtonComponent>
        <ButtonComponent cssClass='e-danger'>Delete</ButtonComponent>
      </div>
    </div>
  );
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />,document.getElementById('buttongroup'));

Predefined ButtonGroup styles provide only the visual indication. So, ButtonGroup content should define the ButtonGroup style for the users of assistive technologies such as screen readers.
