This section explains how to create a simple Speed Dial and demonstrate the basic usage of the Speed Dial component in an Vue environment.

Prerequisites

System requirements for Syncfusion Vue UI components

Dependencies

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

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

Installation and configuration

You can use Vue CLI to setup your Vue applications.

To install Vue CLI use the following command.

npm install -g @vue/cli
npm install -g @vue/cli-init

Start a new project using below Vue CLI command.

vue init webpack-simple quickstart
cd quickstart
npm install

Install Syncfusion Speed Dial packages using below command.

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

Registering Speed Dial component using Vue.use()

Import the Speed Dial Plugin from the Essential JS 2 Vue package and register the same using Vue.use() with Component Plugin as its argument.

Refer to the code snippet given below.

import Vue from 'vue';
import { SpeedDialPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons";
Vue.use(SpeedDialPlugin);
export default {}

By registering component plugin in Vue, all child directives are also globally registered. We can also use Vue.Component() to register Speed Dial. Refer here to know more about component registration.

Initialize SpeedDial

Add the EJ2 Vue Speed Dial using <ejs-speeddial> to the <template> section of the App.vue file in src directory.

<template>
    <div id="targetElement" style="position:relative;min-height:350px;border:1px solid;">
        <ejs-speeddial id='speeddial'  content='Edit' target='#targetElement' :items='items'></ejs-speeddial>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { SpeedDialPlugin  } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-buttons";
Vue.use(SpeedDialPlugin);
export default{
    data() {
        return {
            items: [
                {
                    text:'Cut'
                },
                {
                    text:'Copy'
                },
                {
                    text:'Paste'
                }
            ]
        };
    }
}
</script>

Adding CSS Reference

Add Speed Dial component’s styles as given below in <style> section of the App.vue file.

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