Description

The Button component should be used as the primary call-to-action in a form, or as a user interaction mechanism.

Variants and sizes

There should never be more than one primary button in a given context; secondary and tertiary button variants do not have this constraint. Generally speaking, a button should not be used when a link would suffice.

The Button component comes in different sizes.

For variant primary, the recommended sizes are default and large.

For variant secondary, the recommended sizes are default and large.

For variant tertiary, the recommended size is default. A variant with icon_position="top" is also available for use. It is not recommended to use the tertiary button without an icon. Looking for a similar variant without an icon? You might want to check out Anchor instead.

For variant signal, the recommended sizes are default and large.

Icon buttons come in all sizes.

Signal button

Medium is equivalent to 24, but responsive. To import custom icons, use: import { bell_medium as Bell } from '@dnb/eufemia/icons'

Code Editor
<Button
  variant="signal"
  text="Signal Button"
  icon={Bell}
/>

Large Signal button

Large Signal button with medium sized icon. To import custom icons, use: import { bell_medium as Bell } from '@dnb/eufemia/icons'

Code Editor
<Button
  variant="signal"
  text="Large Signal Button"
  icon={<Bell />}
  size="large"
  icon_size="medium"
/>

Icon button

When the button has no text an aria-label attribute is required for accessibility. And a title attribute is recommended for mouse hover.

We automatically add an aria-label with the same value as title if text and children props are undefined. So in most cases you only have to set the title prop.

Code Editor
<Button
  title="Disabled Icon only Button"
  icon="calendar"
  disabled
  right
/>
<Button
  title="Button with Icon only"
  icon="calendar"
/>
<Button title="Small sized icon button" icon="add" size="small" left />
<Button
  title="Large sized icon button"
  icon={question}
  size="large"
  left
/>
<Button
  title="Icon button with status"
  icon={question}
  status="error"
  left
/>
<VisibilityByTheme visible="sbanken">
  <Button
    title="Tertiary icon button"
    size="large"
    icon={question}
    variant="tertiary"
  />
</VisibilityByTheme>

Custom button content

This is, as all of the demos, only an example of how to achieve various needs, and not that you should do it.

Code Editor
<Button
  icon="close"
  icon_position="right"
  text="Button with custom content"
  custom_content={<IconPrimary icon="check" right="small" />}
/>
