To find your installed version: ```bash npm list @syncfusion/ej2-buttons ``` Then use the matching CDN version: ```html <!-- index.html --> <!-- Replace {VERSION} with your installed package version (e.g., 28.1.33, 33.1.44) --> <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/{VERSION}/tailwind3.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <!-- Example: If your package version is 33.1.44 --> <link href="https://cdn.syncfusion.com/ej2/33.1.44/tailwind3.css" rel="stylesheet"/> ``` > **Note:** Using npm imports (Option 1) is recommended as it automatically keeps CSS and JavaScript versions in sync. ## Common Patterns ### Apply Dark Mode Globally ```typescript import { CheckBox } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons'; import { Button } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons'; // Initialize dark mode checkbox const darkModeCheckBox: CheckBox = new CheckBox({ label: 'Enable Dark Mode', change: (args) => { const isChecked: boolean = args.checked ?? false; if (isChecked) { document.body.classList.add('e-dark-mode'); } else { document.body.classList.remove('e-dark-mode'); } } }); darkModeCheckBox.appendTo('#darkModeCheckbox'); // Initialize sample button const button: Button = new Button({ cssClass: 'e-primary', content: 'Sample Button' }); button.appendTo('#sampleButton'); ``` ### Customize Primary Color with CSS Variables **For Fluent 2 Theme:** ```css /* src/styles.css */ :root { --color-sf-primary: #ff6b35; /* Custom orange */ } ``` **For Material 3 Theme (uses RGB values):** ```css /* src/styles.css */ :root { --color-sf-primary: 255, 107, 53; /* RGB: Custom orange */ } ``` ### Enable Touch Mode Globally ```html <!-- index.html --> <body class="e-bigger"> <div id="app"></div> </body> ``` Or per-component: ```typescript import { Button } from '@syncfusion/ej2-buttons'; const button: Button = new Button({ cssClass: 'e-bigger', content: 'Touch-Friendly Button' }); button.appendTo('#button'); ``` ### Use Optimized CSS for Faster Loading ```css /* src/styles.css - Lite version without bigger mode styles */ @import "@syncfusion/ej2-tailwind3-theme/styles/tailwind3-lite.css"; ``` ### Use Icons from Syncfusion Library **Install icons package:** You can install either the icons package or the theme package: ```bash npm install @syncfusion/ej2-icons@latest /* or */ npm install @syncfusion/ej2-tailwind3-theme@latest ``` **Import icon styles:** ```css /* src/styles.css */ /* Syncfusion theme package icon styles */ @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-tailwind3-theme/styles/icons/tailwind3.css"; /* or */ /* Syncfusion control package icon styles */ @import "../node_modules/@syncfusion/ej2-icons/styles/tailwind3.css"; ``` **Use icons in HTML:** ```html <span class="e-icons e-cut"></span> <span class="e-icons e-medium e-copy"></span> <span class="e-icons e-large e-paste"></span> ```
