8 May 20254 minutes to read

This section explains how to create a simple Speed Dial and demonstrate the basic usage of the Speed Dial component in an React environment.

Dependencies

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

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-react-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons

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 Speed Dial component, use the following command

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

Adding Speed Dial component to the Application

To include the Speed Dial component in your application import the SpeedDialComponent from ej2-react-buttons package in App.tsx.

Add the Speed Dial component in application as shown in below code example.

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

{ /* To render Speed Dial. */ }
function App() {
    return (
        <SpeedDialComponent id='speeddial'></SpeedDialComponent>
    );
}
export default App;

Adding CSS Reference

Import the Speed Dial 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";

Running 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 Speed Dial component.

app.jsx
app.tsx
{ /* Import the Speed Dial. */ }
import { SpeedDialComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';
{ /* To render Speed Dial.*/ }
function App() {
    const items = [
        { text: 'Cut' },
        { text: 'Copy' },
        { text: 'Paste' }
    ];
    return (<div id="targetElement" style={{ position: 'relative', minHeight: '350px', border: '1px solid' }}>
      {/* Initialize the SpeedDial component. */}
      <SpeedDialComponent id='speeddial' items={items} content='Edit' target="#targetElement"></SpeedDialComponent>
    </div>);
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />, document.getElementById('button'));
{/* Import the Speed Dial. */}
import { SpeedDialComponent, SpeedDialItemModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';

{/* To render Speed Dial.*/}
function App() {

  const items: SpeedDialItemModel[] = [
    { text: 'Cut' },
    { text: 'Copy' },
    { text: 'Paste' }
  ];

  return (
    <div id="targetElement" style={{position:'relative', minHeight:'350px', border:'1px solid'}}>
      {/* Initialize the SpeedDial component. */}
      <SpeedDialComponent id='speeddial' items={items} content='Edit' target="#targetElement"></SpeedDialComponent>
    </div>
  );
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />,document.getElementById('button'));
