@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons

Now, register the Syncfusion® Blazor Service in the ~/Program.cs file of your Blazor WebAssembly App.

using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.Web;
using Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Hosting;
using Syncfusion.Blazor;

var builder = WebAssemblyHostBuilder.CreateDefault(args);
builder.RootComponents.Add<App>("#app");
builder.RootComponents.Add<HeadOutlet>("head::after");

builder.Services.AddScoped(sp => new HttpClient { BaseAddress = new Uri(builder.HostEnvironment.BaseAddress) });

builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
await builder.Build().RunAsync();
....

Add stylesheet and script resources

The theme stylesheet and script can be accessed from NuGet through Static Web Assets. Include the stylesheet and script references in the <head> section of the ~/index.html file.

<head>
    ....
    <link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/bootstrap5.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    <script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>

Item clicked event

The speed dial control triggers the ItemClicked event with SpeedDialItemEventArgs argument when an action item is clicked. You can use this event to perform the required action.

<div id="target" style="min-height:200px; position:relative; width:300px; border:1px solid;">
    <SfSpeedDial Target="#target" OpenIconCss="e-icons e-edit" ItemClicked="ItemEventClick">
        <SpeedDialItems>
            <SpeedDialItem IconCss="e-icons e-cut" Text="Cut"/>
            <SpeedDialItem IconCss="e-icons e-copy" Text="Copy"/>
            <SpeedDialItem IconCss="e-icons e-paste" Text="Paste"/>
        </SpeedDialItems>
    </SfSpeedDial>
</div>

@code{
    public void ItemEventClick(SpeedDialItemEventArgs args)
    {
        // Here, you can call your desired action.
    }
}
