import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

 

enableRipple(true);

 

@NgModule({

  declarations: [

    AppComponent

  imports: [

    BrowserModule,

    DropDownButtonModule

@Component({

  selector: 'app-root',

  template: `<button ejs-dropdownbutton [items]= 'items' content='Clipboard'></button>`

export class AppComponent {

public items: ItemModel[] = [

      {

          text: 'Cut'
