Button

Description

A button should contain a clear call to action for the user. Action verbs are good text for the button container. The style and size of the button should reflect its hierarchy and importance of the action being called.

Notes

A Button is a clickable object that allows a user to trigger an action. Buttons of various styles exist, and should be compared and chosen with specific use cases in mind. Useful props that can be altered depending on use case include fullWidth, unelevated, and variant. Single Buttons can be used, or Buttons can be placed in a Button Group. See Button Group description below and Storybook for examples of each use case.

Usage

Buttons are often used with or inside other components, such as Banner, Card, and File Upload.

Buttons can include Leading or Trailing Icons. If both are set, Leading Icon takes precedence.

Button Group

A Button Group acts as a wrapper around more than one Button. The Button Group has a variant prop that determines the spacing between each Button in the Group. The variant options include dense, standard, and airy spacing.
