Button

To trigger an operation.

When To Use#

A button means an operation (or a series of operations). Clicking a button will trigger corresponding business logic.

In Infra Design we provide 5 types of button.

  • Primary button: indicate the main action, one primary button at most in one section.

  • Default button: indicate a series of actions without priority.

  • Dashed button: used for adding action commonly.

  • Text button: used for the most secondary action.

  • Link button: used for external links.

And 4 other properties additionally.

  • danger: used for actions of risk, like deletion or authorization.

  • ghost: used in situations with complex background, home pages usually.

  • disabled: when actions are not available.

  • loading: add loading spinner in button, avoiding multiple submits too.

Examples


There are primary button, default button, dashed button, text button and link button in antd.

import { Button } from 'infrad';
import React from 'react';

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <>
    <Button type="primary">Primary Button</Button>
    <Button>Default Button</Button>
    <Button type="dashed">Dashed Button</Button>

    <Button type="link">Link Button</Button>

Infra Design supports a default button size as well as a large and small size.

If a large or small button is desired, set the size property to either large or small respectively. Omit the size property for a button with the default size.

A loading indicator can be added to a button by setting the loading property on the Button.

import { PoweroffOutlined } from 'infra-design-icons';

import React, { useState } from 'react';

  };

ghost property will make button's background transparent, it is commonly used in colored background.

import { Button } from 'infrad';
import React from 'react';

const App: React.FC = () => (
  <div className="site-button-ghost-wrapper">
    <Button type="primary" ghost>

      Dashed
    </Button>
    <Button type="primary" danger ghost>
      Danger
    </Button>
  </div>
);

export default App;
.site-button-ghost-wrapper {
  padding: 26px 16px 16px;
  background: rgb(190, 200, 200);
}

block property will make the button fit to its parent width.

import { Button } from 'infrad';

Button components can contain an Icon. This is done by setting the icon property or placing an Icon component within the Button.

If you want specific control over the positioning and placement of the Icon, then that should be done by placing the Icon component within the Button rather than using the icon property.

If you need several buttons, we recommend that you use 1 primary button + n secondary buttons, and if there are more than three operations, you can group some of them into Dropdown.Button.

import type { MenuProps } from 'infrad';
import { Button, Dropdown, Menu } from 'infrad';
import React from 'react';

const onMenuClick: MenuProps['onClick'] = e => {
  console.log('click', e);
};

const menu = (
  <Menu
    onClick={onMenuClick}
    items={[
      {
        key: '1',
        label: '1st item',
      },
      {
        key: '2',
        label: '2nd item',
      },
      {
        key: '3',
        label: '3rd item',
      },
    ]}
  />
);

const App: React.FC = () => (

    <Dropdown.Button overlay={menu}>Actions</Dropdown.Button>

How to remove space between 2 chinese characters?#

Following the Infra Design specification, we will add one space between if Button (exclude Text button and Link button) contains two Chinese characters only. If you don't need that, you can use ConfigProvider to set autoInsertSpaceInButton as false.
