Getting Started with React Progress Bar Component

18 Feb 20264 minutes to read

This section explains the steps required to create the Progress Bar component using React and configure its properties.

Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure you have:

• Node.js version 14 or later installed

Dependencies

Below is the list of minimum dependencies required to use the Progress Bar component.

  |-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-progressbar
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-data
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-svg-base

These dependencies will be installed automatically when you install the main package.

Installation and Configuration

To easily set up a React application, use the Vite CLI (npm create vite), 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 instead, refer to this documentation for more details.

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

npm create vite@latest my-app

This command will prompt you for a few settings for the new project, such as selecting a framework and a variant.

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

Install Syncfusion^® Progress Bar Package

All the available Essential^® JS 2 packages are published in the npmjs.com public registry.
To install the Syncfusion^® Progress Bar package, use the following command

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-progressbar --save

The –save will instruct NPM to include the Progress Bar package inside of the dependencies section of the package.json.

Add the Progress Bar Component

Now you can add the Progress Bar component to your application. Update the src/App.tsx (or src/App.jsx) file with the following code to create a basic linear Progress Bar.

TypeScript (src/App.tsx):

import {ProgressBarComponent} from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-progressbar';
import * as React from 'react';
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';

function App() {
  return (
    <ProgressBarComponent id="linear" value={40}>
    </ProgressBarComponent>
  )
};
export default App;
createRoot(document.getElementById('root')).render(<App />);

Run the Application

Run the following command to start the development server:

npm run dev

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

Complete Code Example

The following demonstrates a complete implementation with the entry file and component:

index.jsx

import { ProgressBarComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-progressbar';
import * as React from "react";
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';

function App() {
    return (<ProgressBarComponent id="linear" type='Linear' height='60' value={40} animation=>
         </ProgressBarComponent>);
}
export default App;

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

index.tsx

import { ProgressBarComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-progressbar';
import * as React from "react";
import { createRoot } from 'react-dom/client';

function App() {
  return(<ProgressBarComponent id="linear"
                        type='Linear'
                        height='60'
                        value={40}
                        animation=>
         </ProgressBarComponent>
        )
};
export default App;

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