Common Patterns

Progress bar + hidden spinner

<ProgressButtonComponent
  content="Upload"
  enableProgress={true}
  cssClass="e-hide-spinner"
  duration={4000}
/>

Custom spinner (right, small, templated)

import { SpinSettingsModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons';

const spinSettings: SpinSettingsModel = {
  position: 'Right',
  width: 20,
  template: '<div class="my-spinner"></div>'
};

<ProgressButtonComponent content="Submit" spinSettings={spinSettings} />

Slide animation with centered spinner

import { AnimationSettingsModel, SpinSettingsModel } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-splitbuttons';

const spinSettings: SpinSettingsModel = { position: 'Center' };
const animationSettings: AnimationSettingsModel = {
  effect: 'SlideLeft',
  duration: 500,
  easing: 'linear'
};

<ProgressButtonComponent
  content="Slide Left"
  enableProgress={true}
  spinSettings={spinSettings}
  animationSettings={animationSettings}
/>

Start / stop programmatic control

let progressBtn: ProgressButtonComponent;

<ProgressButtonComponent
  content="Download"
  enableProgress={true}
  duration={4000}
  cssClass="e-hide-spinner"
  ref={(scope) => { progressBtn = scope as ProgressButtonComponent; }}
/>

// Pause:  progressBtn.stop();
// Resume: progressBtn.start();
// Finish: progressBtn.progressComplete();

Lifecycle events

<ProgressButtonComponent
  content="Progress"
  enableProgress={true}
  begin={(args) => console.log('started', args.percent)}
  progress={(args) => console.log('progress', args.percent)}
  end={(args) => console.log('done', args.percent)}
  fail={(args) => console.log('failed', args)}
/>

    { text: 'Save' },
    { text: 'Save As' },
    { text: 'Save All' }
  ];

  const handleClick = (args) => {
    console.log('Primary action clicked');
  };

Common Patterns

Save Variant Pattern

const items = [
  { text: 'Save', iconCss: 'e-icons e-save' },
  { separator: true },
  { text: 'Save As', iconCss: 'e-icons e-save-as' },
  { text: 'Save All', iconCss: 'e-icons e-save-all' }
];

Download Pattern

const items = [
  { text: 'Download PDF' },
  { text: 'Download Excel' },
  { text: 'Download CSV' },
  { separator: true },
  { text: 'Download All' }
];

Share Pattern

const items = [
  { text: 'Share Link', iconCss: 'e-icons e-link' },
  { text: 'Email', iconCss: 'e-icons e-mail' },
  { text: 'Print', iconCss: 'e-icons e-print' },
  { text: 'Export', iconCss: 'e-icons e-export' }
];

State Management Pattern

const [isLoading, setIsLoading] = useState(false);

const handleAction = async (args) => {
  setIsLoading(true);
  try {
    // Perform action
    await performAction(args.item.text);
  } finally {
    setIsLoading(false);
  }
};

      <li><RadioButtonComponent label="Option 3" name="group1" /></li>
    </ul>
  );
}
export default App;

Common Patterns

Controlled state with change handler

import { RadioButtonComponent, ChangeArgs } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import { useState } from 'react';

function App() {
  const [selected, setSelected] = useState('monthly');

  const handleChange = (args: ChangeArgs) => {
    setSelected(args.value);
  };

  return (
    <ul>
      <li>
        <RadioButtonComponent
          label="Monthly"
          name="plan"
          value="monthly"
          checked={selected === 'monthly'}
          change={handleChange}
        />
      </li>
      <li>
        <RadioButtonComponent
          label="Yearly"
          name="plan"
          value="yearly"
          checked={selected === 'yearly'}
          change={handleChange}
        />
      </li>
    </ul>
  );
}

Form submission with name/value

<form>
  <RadioButtonComponent name="payment" value="card"    label="Credit Card" checked={true} />
  <RadioButtonComponent name="payment" value="bank"    label="Net Banking" />
  <RadioButtonComponent name="payment" value="cod"     label="Cash on Delivery" />
  <button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>

Disabled option in a group

<RadioButtonComponent label="Available"   name="seat" />
<RadioButtonComponent label="Unavailable" name="seat" disabled={true} />

Small compact size

<RadioButtonComponent label="Compact" name="size" cssClass="e-small" />

RTL support

<RadioButtonComponent label="خيار 1" name="rtl" enableRtl={true} />

Key Props Summary

Decision Guide

• User picks one of many options → Use name to group + value for each option
• Pre-select a default → Set checked={true} on the desired option
• Read which option is selected → Use change event (args.value) or call getSelectedValue()
• Prevent selection of an option → Use disabled={true}
• Dense UI layout → Add cssClass="e-small"
• RTL language UI → Use enableRtl={true}
• Custom color/branding → Use cssClass with custom CSS rules (see style-and-appearance.md)

import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import * as React from 'react';
import './App.css';

enableRipple(true);

function App() {
  return (
    <ChipListComponent id="chip-list">
      <ChipsDirective>
        <ChipDirective text="Angular" />
        <ChipDirective text="React" />
        <ChipDirective text="Vue" />
      </ChipsDirective>
    </ChipListComponent>
  );
}
export default App;

CSS (App.css):

@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/tailwind3.css';
@import '../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons/styles/tailwind3.css';

Common Patterns

Filter chips (multi-select)

    <ChipDirective text="Tag Two" />
  </ChipsDirective>
</ChipListComponent>

Chips with avatar initials

<ChipListComponent>
  <ChipsDirective>
    <ChipDirective text="Andrew" avatarText="A" />
    <ChipDirective text="Laura" avatarText="L" />
  </ChipsDirective>
</ChipListComponent>

Programmatic control (add/remove chips via ref)

const chipRef = React.useRef<ChipListComponent>(null);

// Add a chip
chipRef.current?.add('New Tag');

// Remove chip at index 0
chipRef.current?.remove([0]);

// Get selected
const selected = chipRef.current?.getSelectedChips();
