Currently, Telerik UI for Blazor offers two components that address different interface needs: the SplitButton, which provides a primary action with a dropdown of secondary actions, and the FloatingActionButton, which enables a floating UI element for a single prominent action. While both serve their roles well, there is no built-in option that combines the floating behavior of the FAB with the dropdown structure of the SplitButton. This leaves a gap in scenarios where a floating control with both a primary and expandable set of actions is needed, especially in mobile-first designs. While it’s technically possible to mimic this with CSS, the result is less reliable and lacks the flexibility and structure of a native solution. A combined FloatingSplitButton component would allow developers to build consistent, responsive interfaces that benefit from built-in theming, safe area awareness, and popup templates without complex workarounds.
