This section briefly explains how to create a simpleSplitButton component and configure its available functionalities in React.

Dependencies

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

Installation and configuration

To easily set up a React application, usecreate-vite-app, which provides a faster development environment, smaller bundle sizes, and optimized builds compared to traditional tools likecreate-react-app. For detailed steps, refer to the Viteinstallation instructions. Vite sets up your environment using JavaScript and optimizes your application for production.

Note: To create a React application usingcreate-react-app, refer to thisdocumentation for more details.

To create a new React application, run the following command.

npm create vite@latest my-app

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

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react-tscd my-appnpm run dev

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

npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template reactcd my-appnpm run dev

Adding syncfusion^® packages

All the available Essential^® JS 2 packages are published innpmjs.com public registry. You can choose the component that you want to install.

To install SplitButton component, use the following command

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

Adding CSS reference

Import the SplitButton component required CSS references as follows insrc/App.css.

/* import the SplitButton dependency styles */@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";

Adding SplitButton component

Now, you can start adding SplitButton component in the application. For getting started, add the SplitButton component insrc/App.tsx file using following code.

Add the below code in thesrc/App.tsx to initialize the SplitButton.

import{enableRipple}from'@syncfusion/ej2-base';import{SplitButtonComponent}from'@syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons';import*asReactfrom'react';import'./App.css';enableRipple(true);// To render SplitButton.functionApp(){return(<divstyle={{marginTop:'150px'}}><SplitButtonComponentid="element"/></div>);}exportdefaultApp;

Binding data source

After initialization, populate the SplitButton with data using theitems property. Here, an array of string values is passed to the SplitButton component.

import{enableRipple}from'@syncfusion/ej2-base';import{ItemModel,SplitButtonComponent}from'@syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons';import*asReactfrom'react';import'./App.css';enableRipple(true);// To render SplitButton.functionApp(){letitems:ItemModel[]=[{text:'Cut',},{text:'Copy',},{text:'Paste',}];return(<divstyle={{marginTop:'150px'}}><SplitButtonComponentid="element"items={items}>Paste</SplitButtonComponent></div>);}exportdefaultApp;

Run the application

Now run thenpm run dev command in the console to start the development server. This command compiles your code and serves the application locally, opening it in the browser.

npm run dev

The following example shows a basic SplitButton component.

import{enableRipple}from'@syncfusion/ej2-base';import{SplitButtonComponent}from'@syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons';import*asReactfrom'react';import*asReactDomfrom'react-dom';enableRipple(true);// To render SplitButton.functionApp(){letitems=[{text:'Cut',},{text:'Copy',},{text:'Paste',}];return(<div><SplitButtonComponentid="element"items={items}>Paste</SplitButtonComponent></div>);}exportdefaultApp;ReactDom.render(<App/>,document.getElementById('button'));

import{enableRipple}from'@syncfusion/ej2-base';import{ItemModel,SplitButtonComponent}from'@syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons';import*asReactfrom'react';import*asReactDomfrom'react-dom';enableRipple(true);// To render SplitButton.functionApp(){letitems:ItemModel[]=[{text:'Cut',},{text:'Copy',},{text:'Paste',}];return(<div><SplitButtonComponentid="element"items={items}>Paste</SplitButtonComponent></div>);}exportdefaultApp;ReactDom.render(<App/>,document.getElementById('button'));
