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

Dependencies

The following list of dependencies are required to use Switch component in your application.

|-- @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.

 ```bash
    npm install -g create-react-app
 ```

Start a new project using create-react-app command as follows

  <div class='tsx'>

   ```
     create-react-app quickstart --scripts-version=react-scripts-ts
     cd quickstart
   ```
   </div>
   <div class='jsx'>
   ```
   create-react-app quickstart
   cd quickstart
   ```
  </div>

‘react-scripts-ts’ is used for creating React app with typescript.

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

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";

Running the application

Run the application in the browser using the following command:

npm start

The following example shows a basic Switch component.

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'));
