Getting Started with the Vue Button Component in Vue 2

10 Feb 20265 minutes to read

This article provides a step-by-step guide for setting up a Vue 2 project using Vue-CLI and integrating the Syncfusion® Vue Button component.

Prerequisites

System requirements for Syncfusion® Vue UI components

Setup the Vue 2 project

To generate a Vue 2 project using Vue-CLI, use the vue create command. Follow these steps to install Vue CLI and create a new project:

npm install -g @vue/cli
vue create quickstart
cd quickstart
npm run serve

or

yarn global add @vue/cli
vue create quickstart
cd quickstart
yarn run serve

When creating a new project, choose the option Default ([Vue 2] babel, eslint) from the menu.

Vue 2 project

Once the quickstart project is set up with default settings, proceed to add Syncfusion® components to the project.

Add Syncfusion® Vue packages

Syncfusion® packages are available at npmjs.com. To use Vue components, install the required npm package.

This article uses the Vue Button component as an example. Install the @syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons package by running the following command:

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

or

yarn add @syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons

Import Syncfusion® CSS styles

You can import themes for the Syncfusion® Vue component in various ways, such as using CSS or SASS styles from npm packages, CDN, CRG and Theme Studio. Refer to themes topic to know more about built-in themes and different ways to refer to themes in a Vue project.

In this article, the Material theme is applied using CSS styles, which are available in installed packages. The necessary Material CSS styles for the Button component and its dependents were imported into the <style> section of src/App.vue file.

<style>
  @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
  @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css";
</style>

The order of CSS imports matters. Import base styles first, then component-specific styles. Missing CSS imports can result in misaligned layouts, buttons without styling, or missing visual elements.

Add Syncfusion® Vue component

Follow the below steps to add the Vue Button component:

1. First, import and register the Button component in the script section of the src/App.vue file.

<script setup>
import { ButtonComponent as EjsButton } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons';
</script>
<script setup>
import { ButtonComponent as EjsButton } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons';
</script>
<script>
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons';
export default {
name: "App",
  components: {
    'ejs-button': ButtonComponent
  }
}
</script>

2. In the template section, define the Button component.

<template>
<ejs-button>Button</ejs-button>
</template>

Here is the summarized code for the above steps in the src/App.vue file:

<template>
<ejs-button>Button</ejs-button>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ButtonComponent as EjsButton } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

</script>

<style>
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';

button {
  margin: 25px 5px 20px 20px;
}
</style>
<template>
<ejs-button>Button</ejs-button>
</template>

<script>
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

export default {
name: "App",
components: {
"ejs-button":ButtonComponent
}
}
</script>

<style>
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';

button {
  margin: 25px 5px 20px 20px;
}
</style>

Run the project

To run the project, use the following command:

npm run serve

or

yarn run serve

Change Button type

To change the default Button to flat Button, set the cssClass property to e-flat and text content of the Button is set using content property.

<template>
<ejs-button cssClass='e-flat'>Button</ejs-button>
</template>
<script setup>
import { ButtonComponent as EjsButton } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
enableRipple(true);
</script>
<style>
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';
button {
  margin: 25px 5px 20px 20px;
}
</style>
<template>
<ejs-button cssClass='e-flat'>Button</ejs-button>
</template>

<script>
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

export default {
name: "App",
  components: {
    'ejs-button': ButtonComponent
  }
}
</script>

<style>
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css';

button {
  margin: 25px 5px 20px 20px;
}
</style>
