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

Installation and Configuration

You can use create-react-app to setup the applications. To install create-react-app run the following command.

  npm install -g create-react-app

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

npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript

cd my-app

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

npx create-react-app my-app

cd my-app

npm start

Adding Syncfusion packages

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

To install Switch component, use the following command

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

Adding CSS Reference

Import the Switch 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";

Adding Switch component to the Application

To include Switch component in your application import the SwitchComponent from ej2-react-buttons package in App.tsx.

Add Switch component in application as shown in below code example.

// Import the Switch.
import { SwitchComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import './App.css';
// To render Switch.
function App() {
    return ( <div style=><SwitchComponent /></div>);
}
export default App;

Run the application

Run the application in the browser using the following command:

npm start

The following example shows a basic Switch component.

app.jsx
app.tsx
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { SwitchComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';
enableRipple(true);
// To render Switch with checked state.
function App() {
    return (<SwitchComponent checked={true}/>);
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />, document.getElementById('switch'));
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { SwitchComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';

enableRipple(true);

// To render Switch with checked state.
function App() {
  return (
    <SwitchComponent checked={true} />
  );
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />, document.getElementById('switch'));
