This section explains you the steps required to create a simple Toolbar and demonstrate the basic usage of the Toolbar control.

Dependencies

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

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

Setup for Local Development

To set-up a React application, choose any of the following ways. The best and easiest way is to use the create-react-app. It sets up your development environment in JavaScript and improvise your application for production. Refer to the installation instructions of create-react-app.

npx create-react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start

yarn create react-app my-app
cd my-app
yarn start

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

npx create-react-app my-app --template typescript
cd my-app
npm start

Besides using the npx package runner tool, also create an application from the npm init. To begin with the npm init, upgrade the npm version to npm 6+.

npm init react-app my-app
cd my-app
npm start

## Adding Syncfusion packages

All the available Essential JS 2 packages are published in [`npmjs.com`](https://www.npmjs.com/~syncfusionorg) public registry.
To install Accordion component, use the following command

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations –save


## Adding CSS reference

 Add components style as given below in `src/App.css`.

```css
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations/styles/material.css';

To refer App.css in the application then import it in the src/App.tsx file.

The Toolbar can be rendered by defining an array of items. An item is rendered with text by defining the default item type as a Button. For more information about item configuration, refer the Item Configuration section.

Import the Toolbar component to your src/App.tsx file using following code.

import { ItemDirective, ItemsDirective, ToolbarComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

const ReactApp = () => {
  return (
    <ToolbarComponent id='toolbar'>
      <ItemsDirective>
        <ItemDirective text="Cut" />
        <ItemDirective text="Copy" />
        <ItemDirective text="Paste" />
        <ItemDirective type="Separator" />
        <ItemDirective text="Bold" />
        <ItemDirective text="Italic" />
        <ItemDirective text="Underline" />
      </ItemsDirective>
    </ToolbarComponent>
  );
}
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('toolbar'));
root.render(<ReactApp />);

Now, run the application in the browser using the following command.

npm start

The Toolbar component can be rendered based on the given HTML element using <ToolbarComponent>. You need to follow the below structure of HTML elements to render the Toolbar inside the <ToolbarComponent> tag.

   <ToolbarComponent>   --> Root Toolbar Element
    <div>      --> Toolbar Items Container
       <div>   --> Toolbar Item Element
       </div>
    </div>
  </ToolbarComponent>

index.jsx
index.tsx
index.html
import { ToolbarComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";
const ReactApp = () => {
    return (<ToolbarComponent>
      <div>
        <div><button className='e-btn e-tbar-btn'>Cut</button> </div>
        <div><button className='e-btn e-tbar-btn'>Copy</button> </div>
        <div><button className='e-btn e-tbar-btn'>Paste</button> </div>
        <div className='e-separator'> </div>
        <div><button className='e-btn e-tbar-btn'>Bold</button> </div>
        <div><button className='e-btn e-tbar-btn'>Italic</button> </div>
      </div>
    </ToolbarComponent>);
}
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('toolbar'));
root.render(<ReactApp />);
import { ToolbarComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-navigations';
import * as React from "react";
import * as ReactDOM from "react-dom";

const ReactApp = () => {
  return (
    <ToolbarComponent>
      <div>
        <div><button className='e-btn e-tbar-btn'>Cut</button> </div>
        <div><button className='e-btn e-tbar-btn'>Copy</button> </div>
        <div><button className='e-btn e-tbar-btn'>Paste</button> </div>
        <div className='e-separator'> </div>
        <div><button className='e-btn e-tbar-btn'>Bold</button> </div>
        <div><button className='e-btn e-tbar-btn'>Italic</button> </div>
      </div>
    </ToolbarComponent>
  );
}
const root = ReactDOM.createRoot(document.getElementById('toolbar'));
root.render(<ReactApp />);
