Properties

Prop	Type	Description	Default
variant	'default', 'primary', 'primaryOutline', 'danger', 'dangerOutline', 'baseGreen'	Sets the style variant of the button.	'default'
darkMode	boolean	Determines if the component renders in dark mode	false
size	'xsmall', 'small', 'default', 'large'	Sets the size variant of the button.	'default'
children	node	The content that will appear inside of the <Button /> component.	null
className	string	Adds a className to the class attribute.	''
disabled	boolean	Disables the button	false
as	'a' | 'button'	Determines the root element. An a tags can be supplied to replace button from being the DOM element that wraps the component.	button
href	string	If a href is supplied it will change the as value, such that the component renders inside of an a tag instead of inside of a button tag.
leftGlyph	React.ReactElement	Glyph that will appear to the left of text, if there is text provided via the children prop. If no children are supplied to the component, passing an Icon here will render the button as an icon-only button.
rightGlyph	React.ReactElement	Glyph that will appear to the right of text, if there is text provided via the children prop. If no children are supplied to the component, passing an Icon here will render the button as an icon-only button.
isLoading	boolean	Indicates whether the Button is in a loading state	false
loadingText	string	String displayed in place of children while the button is in a loading state
baseFontSize	14, 16	Determines the base font-size of the component	14
loadingIndicator	React.ReactElement	Element to be rendered as loading indicator
...	native attributes of component passed to as prop	Any other properties will be spread on the root element

Note: In order to make this Component act as a submit button, the recommended approach is to pass submit as the type prop. Note it is also valid to pass input to the as prop, and the button's content's to the value prop -- in this case, do not supply children to the component.

Test Harnesses

getTestUtils()

getTestUtils() is a util that allows consumers to reliably interact with LG Button in a product test suite. If the Button component cannot be found, an error will be thrown.

Usage

import Button, { getTestUtils } from '@leafygreen-ui/button';

const utils = getTestUtils(lgId?: string); // lgId refers to the custom `data-lgid` attribute passed to `Button`. It defaults to 'lg-button' if left empty.

Single Button

import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import Button, { getTestUtils } from '@leafygreen-ui/button';

...

test('button', () => {
  render(<Button>Click me</Button>);
  const { getButton } = getTestUtils();

  expect(getButton()).toBeInTheDocument();
});

Multiple Button components

When testing multiple Button components it is recommended to add the custom data-lgid attribute to each Button.

import { render } from '@testing-library/react';
import Button, { getTestUtils } from '@leafygreen-ui/button';

...

test('button', () => {
  render(
    <>
      <Button data-lgid="button-1">Click 1</Button>
      <Button data-lgid="button-2" disabled>Click 2</Button>
    </>,
  );
  const utilsOne = getTestUtils('button-1'); // data-lgid
  const utilsTwo = getTestUtils('button-2'); // data-lgid
  // First Button
  expect(utilsOne.getButton()).toBeInTheDocument();
  expect(utilsOne.isDisabled()).toBe(false);

  // Second Button
  expect(utilsTwo.getButton()).toBeInTheDocument();
  expect(utilsTwo.isDisabled()).toBe(true);
});

Test Utils

const { getButton, isDisabled } = getTestUtils();

Util	Description	Returns
getButton	Returns the input node	HTMLButtonElement
isDisabled	Returns whether the input is disabled	boolean
