Prerequisites

System requirements for Syncfusion Vue UI components

Dependencies

The list of dependencies required to use the ProgressButton component in your application is given as follows:

|-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-splitbuttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-vue-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-base
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons
    |-- @syncfusion/ej2-popups
        |-- @syncfusion/ej2-buttons

Setting up 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 Progress button component as an example. Install the @syncfusion/ej2-vue-splitbuttons package by running the following command:

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

or

yarn add @syncfusion/ej2-vue-splitbuttons

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 Progress 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';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css';
</style>

Add Syncfusion Vue component

Follow the below steps to add the Vue Progress button component using Composition API or Options API:

1. First, import and register the Progress button component in the script section of the src/App.vue file. If you are using the Composition API, you should add the setup attribute to the script tag to indicate that Vue will be using the Composition API.

<script setup>
import { ProgressButtonComponent as EjsProgressbutton } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-splitbuttons";
</script>
<script>
import { ProgressButtonComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-splitbuttons";
export default {
  components: {
    'ejs-progressbutton': ProgressButtonComponent
  }
}
</script>

2. In the template section, define the Progress button component with the content property.

<template>
 <ejs-progressbutton content="Spin Left"></ejs-progressbutton>
</template>

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

<template>
 <ejs-progressbutton content="Spin Left"></ejs-progressbutton>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ProgressButtonComponent as EjsProgressbutton } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-splitbuttons";
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';
  @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
  @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css';
</style>
<template>
 <ejs-progressbutton content="Spin Left"></ejs-progressbutton>
</template>

<script>
import { ProgressButtonComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-splitbuttons";
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

export default {
  components: {
    'ejs-progressbutton': ProgressButtonComponent
  }
}
</script>

<style>
  @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-splitbuttons/styles/material.css';
</style>

Run the project

To run the project, use the following command:

npm run serve

or

yarn run serve

ProgressButton supports different styles, types and sizes like Button. In addition, it also supports top and bottom icon positions.

Enable progress in button

You can enable the background filler UI by setting the enableProgress property to true.

<template>
 <ejs-progressbutton content="Spin Left"  :enableProgress="true"></ejs-progressbutton>
</template>

<script setup>
import { ProgressButtonComponent as EjsProgressbutton } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-splitbuttons";
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';
  @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-popups/styles/material.css';
  @import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons/styles/material.css';
</style>
<template>
 <ejs-progressbutton content="Spin Left"  :enableProgress="true"></ejs-progressbutton>
</template>

<script>
import { ProgressButtonComponent } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-splitbuttons";
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

enableRipple(true);

export default {
  components: {
    'ejs-progressbutton': ProgressButtonComponent
  }
}

</script>

<style>
  @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-splitbuttons/styles/material.css';
</style>
