# Button
|
||||
|
||||
A styled `<button>` element. Supports six visual variants and four sizes. HTMX attributes can be injected directly via the `hxAttrs` parameter.

## Usage examples
|
||||
|
||||
### Standard actions
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
new Button("Save changes", type: "submit")
|
||||
new Button("Cancel", variant: "outline")
|
||||
new Button("Delete", variant: "destructive")
|
||||
new Button("Learn more", variant: "link")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Sizes
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
new Button("Small", size: "sm")
|
||||
new Button("Default", size: "default")
|
||||
new Button("Large", size: "lg")
|
||||
new Button("⚙", size: "icon") // icon-only square button
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### HTMX trigger
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
new Button(
|
||||
"Load more",
|
||||
hxAttrs: """hx-get="/items?page=2" hx-target="#item-list" hx-swap="beforeend"""")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Submit button inside a form
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
new Button("Sign in", variant: "default", type: "submit", size: "default")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Ghost button with inline SVG icon
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
new Button(
|
||||
label: """
|
||||
<svg class="h-4 w-4" .../>
|
||||
<span>Refresh</span>
|
||||
""",
|
||||
variant: "ghost")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Disabled appearance (via HTML)
|
||||
|
||||
The Button component does not have a `disabled` constructor parameter. Set it via `hxAttrs` if needed:
|
||||
|
||||
```csharp
|
||||
new Button("Processing...", variant: "default", hxAttrs: "disabled aria-disabled='true'")
|
||||
```
|
||||

||||

||||
|
||||
## Tips and tricks
|
||||
|
||||
- Use `type: "submit"` only inside `<form>` elements. Outside a form, always use `type: "button"` to prevent accidental page reloads in some browsers.
|
||||
- `hxAttrs` is written verbatim between the class and the closing `>` of the button tag — you can add any attribute here: `hx-*`, `data-*`, `aria-*`, `onclick`, etc.
|
||||
- The `ghost` variant has no visible background at rest — use it for toolbar actions or secondary icon buttons.
|
||||
- The `link` variant looks like an anchor but behaves as a button — useful for inline text actions that trigger JS or HTMX requests rather than navigation.
|
||||
- To use Button as a DropdownMenu trigger, pass a `Button` instance to `DropdownMenu`'s `trigger` parameter.
