Button

shadow

Buttons are a clickable element that allows you to display text, an icon, or both. Buttons can be easily customized using various attributes and CSS properties.

Basic usage

To use the Button component, include it in the HTML with the required attributes. Adding the disabled attribute makes the button inactive and unclickable.

Tooltip

The tooltip property allows you to display a text description of the button when the mouse is moved over it. To display the text, you need to add a tooltip attribute to the button with the text content. By adding the tooltip-placement attribute it is possible to specify the position of the text display.

Toggle

The toggle property allows you to assign two different states to a button and toggle between them with a click. Setting the value assigns a default state to the button.
To set the available states, you need to add two child elements to the button with a toggle value slot and also with a state property, which determines the actual state value of the button.

Caret

The caret property allows you to display an arrow on the button. To display the arrow, you need to add the caret attribute to the button.

The shape of the button

The round property allows you to adjust the shape of the button. By default, the buttons are rectangular with slightly rounded edges. Adding this attribute will increase the roundness of the button.

Form button

The submit and reset properties allow you to use the button to submit or reset the form. A button with the submit property sends the form that is linked to it. A button with the reset property will reset all form values.

Button filling

The Fill property specifies the background and border fill of the button. By default, the buttons have a solid background. Other options are link and outline.

Button size

The size property specifies the size of the button. Setting this property will change the internal offset of the button.

Button icons

Icons can also be displayed in buttons by inserting the wj-icon element. You modify their location within the button using the slot attribute and the start or end property. If the button contains no text and consists of an icon only, use the icon-only property.

For more information about icons, see Icons.

Editing styles

Button colors

The color property adjusts the background and border color of the button. Setting this value will change the button color to one of the colors in the preset color palette. By default, the buttons have a primary background.

Button edge color

The color property can be combined with the fill property.
