Quick Start

Install and Apply a Theme

Step 1: Install Syncfusion React Package and theme package

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons@latest @syncfusion/ej2-tailwind3-theme@latest --save

Step 2: Import Theme CSS

Option 1: Import from npm theme packages (Recommended)

/* src/App.css */
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-tailwind3-theme/styles/button/index.css";

Option 2: Use CDN

⚠️ Important: The CDN version MUST match your installed npm package version to avoid style and rendering issues.

To find your installed version:

npm list @syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons

Then use the matching CDN version:

<!-- index.html -->
<!-- Replace {VERSION} with your installed package version (e.g., 28.1.33, 33.1.44) -->
<link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{VERSION}/tailwind3.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

<!-- Example: If your package version is 33.1.44 -->
<link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/33.1.44/tailwind3.css" rel="stylesheet"/>

Note: Using npm imports (Option 1) is recommended as it automatically keeps CSS and JavaScript versions in sync.

Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Apply Dark Mode Globally

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { CheckBoxComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import { ButtonComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';

function App() {
  const [isDarkMode, setIsDarkMode] = useState(false);

  const handleDarkModeToggle = (event) => {
    const checked = event.checked ?? false;
    setIsDarkMode(checked);
    
    if (checked) {
      document.body.classList.add('e-dark-mode');
    } else {
      document.body.classList.remove('e-dark-mode');
    }
  };

  return (
    <div>
      <CheckBoxComponent 
        label="Enable Dark Mode" 
        checked={isDarkMode} 
        change={handleDarkModeToggle}
      />
      <ButtonComponent cssClass="e-primary">Sample Button</ButtonComponent>
    </div>
  );
}

export default App;

Pattern 2: Customize Primary Color with CSS Variables

For Fluent 2 Theme:

/* src/App.css */
:root {
  --color-sf-primary: #ff6b35;  /* Custom orange */
}

For Material 3 Theme (uses RGB values):

/* src/App.css */
:root {
  --color-sf-primary: 255, 107, 53;  /* RGB: Custom orange */
}

Pattern 3: Enable Touch Mode Globally

<!-- index.html -->
<body class="e-bigger">
  <div id="root"></div>
</body>

Or per-component:

<ButtonComponent cssClass="e-bigger">Touch-Friendly Button</ButtonComponent>

Pattern 4: Use Optimized CSS for Faster Loading

/* src/App.css - Lite version without bigger mode styles */
@import "@syncfusion/ej2-tailwind3-theme/styles/tailwind3-lite.css";

Pattern 5: Use Icons from Syncfusion Library

Install icons package:

You can install either the icons package or the theme package:

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-icons@latest

/* or */

npm install @syncfusion/ej2-tailwind3-theme@latest

Import icon styles:

/* src/App.css */
/* Syncfusion theme package icon styles */
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-tailwind3-theme/styles/icons/tailwind3.css";

/* or */

/* Syncfusion components package icon styles */
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-icons/styles/tailwind3.css";

Use icons in components:

<span className="e-icons e-cut"></span>
<span className="e-icons e-medium e-copy"></span>
<span className="e-icons e-large e-paste"></span>
