This section explains how to create a simple Switch, and configure its available functionalities in React, using React quickstart application.

Dependencies

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

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

Installation and Configuration

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

Note: To create a React application using create-react-app, refer to this documentation 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-ts
cd my-app
npm run dev

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

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

Adding Syncfusion® packages

All the available Essential® JS 2 packages are published in npmjs.com public registry.

To install Switch component, use the following command

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

Adding CSS Reference

Import the Switch component’s required CSS references as follows in src/App.css.

@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-base/styles/material.css";
@import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-buttons/styles/material.css";

Adding Switch component to the Application

To include Switch component in your application import the SwitchComponent from ej2-react-buttons package in App.tsx.

Add Switch component in application as shown in below code example.

// Import the Switch.
import { SwitchComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import './App.css';
// To render Switch.
function App() {
    return ( <div style=><SwitchComponent /></div>);
}
export default App;

Run the application

Now run the npm 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 Switch component.

import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { SwitchComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';
enableRipple(true);
// To render Switch with checked state.
function App() {
    return (<SwitchComponent checked={true}/>);
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />, document.getElementById('switch'));
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
import { SwitchComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-buttons';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';

enableRipple(true);

// To render Switch with checked state.
function App() {
  return (
    <SwitchComponent checked={true} />
  );
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />, document.getElementById('switch'));
