9 Jul 20267 minutes to read

This section briefly explains how to add the Blazor Speed Dial component to a Blazor WebAssembly application using Visual Studio, Visual Studio Code, and the .NET CLI.

Create a new Blazor WASM App

Create a Blazor WebAssembly App using Visual Studio via Microsoft Templates or the Blazor Extension. For detailed instructions, refer to the Blazor WebAssembly App Getting Started documentation.

Run the following command to create a new Blazor WebAssembly App.

dotnet new blazorwasm -o BlazorApp
cd BlazorApp

Alternatively, create a Blazor WebAssembly App using Visual Studio Code via Microsoft Templates, the Blazor Extension, or the C# Dev Kit extension.

Run the following command to create a new Blazor WebAssembly App.

dotnet new blazorwasm -o BlazorApp
cd BlazorApp

Install the required Blazor packages

Install Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes NuGet packages. All Syncfusion Blazor packages are available on nuget.org. See the NuGet packages topic for details.

  1. Go to Tools → NuGet Package Manager → Manage NuGet Packages for Solution.
  2. Search the required NuGet packages (Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons and Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes) and install them.

Alternatively, you can install the same packages using the Package Manager Console with the following commands.

Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons -Version 34.1.29
Install-Package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -Version 34.1.29

Open the terminal and run the following commands.

dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons -v 34.1.29
dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -v 34.1.29

Open the command prompt and run the following commands.

dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons -v 34.1.29
dotnet add package Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes -v 34.1.29

Add import namespaces

After the packages are installed, open the ~/_Imports.razor file and import the Syncfusion.Blazor and Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons namespaces.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor
@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons

Register the Blazor service

Open the Program.cs file in the Blazor WebAssembly App and register the Blazor service.

....
using Syncfusion.Blazor;
....
builder.Services.AddSyncfusionBlazor();
....

Add stylesheet and script resources

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

...
<link href="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Themes/fluent2.css" rel="stylesheet" />
...
<script src="_content/Syncfusion.Blazor.Core/scripts/syncfusion-blazor.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Add Blazor Speed Dial component

Open a Razor file located in the ~/Pages/*.razor (for example, Home.razor) and add the Blazor Speed Dial component inside the Razor file.

<div id="target" style="min-height:200px; position:relative; width:300px; border:1px solid;">
    <SfSpeedDial Target="#target" Content="Edit">
        <SpeedDialItems>
            <SpeedDialItem Text="Cut"/>
            <SpeedDialItem Text="Copy"/>
            <SpeedDialItem Text="Paste"/>
        </SpeedDialItems>
    </SfSpeedDial>
</div>

Run the application

Press Ctrl+F5 (Windows) or ⌘+F5 (macOS) to launch the application. The Blazor Speed Dial component will render in your default web browser.

Open the terminal and run the following command.

dotnet run

Open the command prompt and run the following command.

dotnet run

Linear and radial display modes

Use the Mode property to display action items either in a linear list or as a radial (circular) menu.

<div id="target" style="min-height:200px; position:relative; width:300px; border:1px solid;">
    <SfSpeedDial Target="#target" Position="FabPosition.BottomLeft" Mode="SpeedDialMode.Radial" OpenIconCss="e-icons e-edit">
        <SpeedDialRadialSettings OffSet="80px"/>
        <SpeedDialItems>
            <SpeedDialItem IconCss="e-icons e-cut"/>
            <SpeedDialItem IconCss="e-icons e-copy"/>
            <SpeedDialItem IconCss="e-icons e-paste"/>
        </SpeedDialItems>
    </SfSpeedDial>
    <SfSpeedDial Target="#target" Position="FabPosition.BottomRight" Mode="SpeedDialMode.Linear" OpenIconCss="e-icons e-edit">
        <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>

Item clicked event

The Speed Dial control triggers the ItemClicked event with SpeedDialItemEventArgs when an action item is clicked. 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.
    }
}
