Why buttons work everywhere

Users expect buttons to behave consistently across every app and website:

Visual hierarchy - Primary, secondary, and destructive actions are instantly recognizable
Touch and click targets - Properly sized for both mouse and finger interaction
Keyboard navigation - Tab, Enter, and Space work exactly as expected
Loading states - Clear feedback during async operations
Accessibility first - Screen readers announce button purpose and state
Flexible composition - Work as links, form submits, or custom components
Consistent spacing - Icons and text align perfectly

Common button patterns you'll build

All visual variants

Six different styles for every use case:

API Reference

The main button component built on Radix UI Slot with comprehensive variant and size options.

Prop	Type	Default	Description
`variant`	`"default" \| "destructive" \| "outline" \| "secondary" \| "ghost" \| "link"`	`"default"`	Visual style variant for different use cases
`size`	`"default" \| "sm" \| "lg" \| "icon"`	`"default"`	Size of the button for different contexts
`asChild`	`boolean`	`false`	Render as a child component (e.g., Next.js Link) using Radix UI Slot
`disabled`	`boolean`	`false`	Disables the button and applies disabled styling
`type`	`"button" \| "submit" \| "reset"`	`"button"`	HTML button type for form integration
`onClick`	`(event: MouseEvent) => void`	-	Click event handler
`className`	`string`	-	Additional CSS classes for custom styling
`children`	`React.ReactNode`	-	Button content including text, icons, and other elements

Button Variants

Variant	Use Case	Appearance
`"default"`	Primary actions, main CTAs	Solid background with primary color
`"secondary"`	Secondary actions, alternative options	Muted solid background
`"destructive"`	Delete, remove, dangerous actions	Red background with warning styling
`"outline"`	Secondary actions on colored backgrounds	Transparent with border
`"ghost"`	Subtle actions, hover reveals background	Transparent, minimal styling
`"link"`	Navigation that should look like links	Underlined text styling

Button Sizes

Size	Use Case	Dimensions
`"sm"`	Compact spaces, secondary actions	Height: 32px, smaller padding
`"default"`	Standard use cases	Height: 40px, balanced padding
`"lg"`	Prominent actions, hero sections	Height: 44px, larger padding
`"icon"`	Icon-only buttons	40x40px square for single icons

States and Styling

The button automatically handles various states:

State	Description	Styling
`hover`	Mouse hover interaction	Darker background, smooth transition
`focus-visible`	Keyboard focus	Ring outline for accessibility
`active`	Click/press state	Slightly pressed appearance
`disabled`	Non-interactive state	Reduced opacity, no pointer events
`aria-invalid`	Form validation error	Red border and ring

Button best practices

What makes buttons feel intuitive and accessible:

Clear action words - "Save", "Delete", "Submit" instead of "OK" or "Click here"
Consistent sizing - Use the same size for buttons at the same importance level
Visual hierarchy - Primary, secondary, ghost, and destructive variants guide users
Touch targets - Minimum 44px height for mobile accessibility
Loading feedback - Show progress during async operations
Keyboard support - Tab, Enter, and Space work perfectly
Icon alignment - Icons and text line up naturally with proper spacing
Disabled states - Clear visual feedback when actions aren't available
