The following example shows how to integrate the icons with Syncfusion button component by defining the icon class in the IconCss property of button.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons

<SfButton IconCss="e-icons e-chevron-down-fill" Content="Show dropdown" IconPosition="IconPosition.Right"></SfButton>
