Angular 9 ButtonGroup

The following section explains you how to create a simple angular 9 ButtonGroup component.

Prerequisites

Before start, we need following items to create Angular ButtonGroup in Angular 9 application

Node.js (latest version)
Angular
Angular CLI
Visual studio code for editor.
Typescript 3.7+

Dependencies

The angular 9 ButtonGroup is created from the Syncfusion ej2-splitbuttons package from npmjs, which are distributed in npm as @syncfusion scoped packages.

Creating Angular Project

Install Angular cli 9 using following command.
```
npm install -g @angular/cli@9.0.2
```

Note:

If you would like to follow and run the application in Angular 8 or Angular 7 or Angular 6, you need to replace the CLI command version number with the corresponding angular version number.

npm install -g @angular/cli@<CLI VERSION>

Create a new Angular 9 project using angular cli and navigate to that folder.
```
ng new <project name>
cd <project name>
```

Adding Angular ButtonGroup

After running the Angular 9 application successfully, configure the Angular ButtonGroup in this application. Install Angular ButtonGroup and EJ2 package using following command. The --save command will instruct the NPM to include a ButtonGroup package inside the dependencies section of the package.json.
```
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons –save
npm install @syncfusion/ej2-splitbuttons --save
```

Import Button from installed package to render button.

Import and inject the other required modules within the providers section of app.module.ts.

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { ButtonModule } from '@syncfusion/ej2-angular-buttons';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { enableRipple } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';
 
enableRipple(true);
 
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    ButtonModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

Add the given below angular buttonGroup’s styles in styles.css.

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

Add the angular ButtonGroup component in app.component.ts.

 import { Component } from '@angular/core';
 
@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<div class='e-btn-group'>
             <button ejs-button>HTML</button>
             <button ejs-button>CSS</button>
             <button ejs-button>JAVASCRIPT</button>

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    template: `<div class='e-btn-group e-vertical'>
