Chakra UI Button - Horizon UI

The Button component is used to trigger an action or event, such as submitting a form, opening a dialog, canceling an action, or performing a delete operation.

Import#

import { Button, ButtonGroup } from "@chakra-ui/react"

Button: The button component with support for custom icons, spinners, etc.
ButtonGroup: Used to group buttons whose actions are related, with an option to flush them together.

Usage#

<Button borderRadius="12px" colorScheme="brand">
  Button
</Button>

<Button variant="brand">Button</Button>

Button Sizes#

Use the size prop to change the size of the button. You can set the value to xs, sm, md, or lg.

<Stack spacing={4} direction="row" align="center">
  <Button borderRadius="12px" colorScheme="brand" size="xs">
    Button
  </Button>
  <Button borderRadius="12px" colorScheme="brand" size="sm">
    Button
  </Button>
  <Button borderRadius="12px" colorScheme="brand" size="md">
    Button
  </Button>
  <Button borderRadius="12px" colorScheme="brand" size="lg">
    Button
  </Button>
</Stack>

<Stack spacing={4} direction="row" align="center">
  <Button variant="brand" size="xs">
    Button
  </Button>
  <Button variant="brand" size="sm">
    Button
  </Button>
  <Button variant="brand" size="md">
    Button
  </Button>
  <Button variant="brand" size="lg">
    Button
  </Button>
</Stack>

Button variants#

Use the variant prop to change the visual style of the Button. You can set the value to solid, ghost, outline, or link.

<Stack direction="row" spacing={4} align="center">
  <Button borderRadius="12px" colorScheme="brand" variant="solid">
    Button
  </Button>
  <Button borderRadius="12px" colorScheme="brand" variant="outline">
    Button
  </Button>
  <Button borderRadius="12px" colorScheme="brand" variant="ghost">
    Button
  </Button>
  <Button borderRadius="12px" colorScheme="brand" variant="link">
    Button
  </Button>
</Stack>

<Stack direction="row" spacing={4} align="center">
  <Button variant="brand">Button</Button>
  <Button variant="outline">Button</Button>
  <Button variant="ghost">Button</Button>
  <Button variant="link">Button</Button>
</Stack>

Button with icon#

You can add left and right icons to the Button component using the leftIcon and rightIcon props respectively.

Note: The leftIcon and rightIcon prop values should be react elements NOT strings.

<Stack direction="row" spacing={4}>
  <Button
    borderRadius="12px"
    leftIcon={<EmailIcon />}
    colorScheme="brand"
    variant="solid"
  >
    Email
  </Button>
  <Button
    borderRadius="12px"
    rightIcon={<ArrowForwardIcon />}
    colorScheme="brand"
    variant="outline"
  >
    Call us
  </Button>
</Stack>

<Stack direction="row" spacing={4}>
  <Button leftIcon={<EmailIcon />} variant="brand">
    Email
  </Button>
  <Button rightIcon={<ArrowForwardIcon />} variant="outline">
    Call us
  </Button>
</Stack>

You can also use icons from popular libraries like react-icons and pass it into the button.

// import { MdBuild , MdCall } from "react-icons/md"
<Stack direction="row" spacing={4}>
  <Button
    borderRadius="12px"
    leftIcon={<MdBuild />}
    colorScheme="brand"
    variant="brand"
  >
    Settings
  </Button>
  <Button
    borderRadius="12px"
    rightIcon={<MdCall />}
    colorScheme="brand"
    variant="outline"
  >
    Call us
  </Button>
</Stack>

// import { MdBuild , MdCall } from "react-icons/md"
<Stack direction="row" spacing={4}>
  <Button leftIcon={<MdBuild />} variant="brand">
    Settings
  </Button>
  <Button rightIcon={<MdCall />} variant="outline">
    Call us
  </Button>
</Stack>

Button loading state#

Pass the isLoading prop to show its loading state. By default, the button will show a spinner and leave the button's width unchanged.

You can also pass the loadingText prop to show a spinner and the loading text.

<Stack direction="row" spacing={4}>
  <Button borderRadius="12px" isLoading colorScheme="brand" variant="solid">
    Email
  </Button>
  <Button
    borderRadius="12px"
    isLoading
    loadingText="Submitting"
    colorScheme="brand"
    variant="outline"
  >
    Submit
  </Button>
</Stack>

<Stack direction="row" spacing={4}>
  <Button isLoading variant="brand">
    Email
  </Button>
  <Button isLoading loadingText="Submitting" variant="outline">
    Submit
  </Button>
</Stack>

You can change the spinner element to use custom loaders as per your design requirements. Pass the spinner prop and set it to a custom react element.

<Button
  borderRadius="12px"
  isLoading
  colorScheme="brand"
  spinner={<BeatLoader size={8} color="white" />}
>
  Click me
</Button>

<Button isLoading spinner={<BeatLoader size={8} color="white" />}>
  Click me
</Button>

When a loadingText is present, you can change the placement of the spinner element to either start or end. It is start by default.

<Stack direction="row" spacing={4} align="center">
  <Button
    borderRadius="12px"
    isLoading
    loadingText="Loading"
    colorScheme="red"
    variant="outline"
    spinnerPlacement="start"
  >
    Submit
  </Button>
  <Button
    borderRadius="12px"
    isLoading
    loadingText="Loading"
    colorScheme="brand"
    variant="outline"
    spinnerPlacement="end"
  >
    Continue
  </Button>
</Stack>

<Stack direction="row" spacing={4} align="center">
  <Button
    isLoading
    loadingText="Loading"
    colorScheme="red"
    variant="outline"
    spinnerPlacement="start"
  >
    Submit
  </Button>
  <Button
    isLoading
    loadingText="Loading"
    variant="outline"
    spinnerPlacement="end"
  >
    Continue
  </Button>
</Stack>

We've included the colors for common social media platforms, and you can simply use their buttons via the colorScheme prop.

<HStack>
  <Button borderRadius="12px" colorScheme="facebook" leftIcon={<FaFacebook />}>
    Facebook
  </Button>
  <Button borderRadius="12px" colorScheme="twitter" leftIcon={<FaTwitter />}>
    Twitter
  </Button>
</HStack>

<HStack>
  <Button colorScheme="facebook" leftIcon={<FaFacebook />}>
    Facebook
  </Button>
  <Button colorScheme="twitter" leftIcon={<FaTwitter />}>
    Twitter
  </Button>
</HStack>

The Facebook and Twitter icons in the above example are available from react-icons as FaFacebook and FaTwitter, found in the react-icons/fa import.

Grouping Buttons#

You can use the Stack or ButtonGroup component to group buttons. When you use the ButtonGroup component, it allows you to:

Set the size and variant of all buttons within it.
Add spacing between the buttons.
Flush the buttons together by removing the border radius of the its children as needed.

<ButtonGroup borderRadius="15px" variant="outline" spacing="6">
  <Button borderRadius="15px" colorScheme="brand">
    Save
  </Button>
  <Button borderRadius="15px">Cancel</Button>
</ButtonGroup>

<ButtonGroup variant="outline" spacing="6">
  <Button>Save</Button>
  <Button>Cancel</Button>
</ButtonGroup>

To flush the buttons, pass the isAttached prop.

<ButtonGroup borderRadius="15px" size="sm" isAttached variant="outline">
  <Button borderRadius="15px" mr="-px">
    Save
  </Button>
  <IconButton
    borderRadius="15px"
    aria-label="Add to friends"
    icon={<AddIcon />}
  />
</ButtonGroup>

<ButtonGroup size="sm" isAttached variant="outline">
  <Button mr="-px">Save</Button>
  <IconButton aria-label="Add to friends" icon={<AddIcon />} />
</ButtonGroup>

Variants#

You can use the Stack or ButtonGroup component to group buttons. When you use the ButtonGroup component, it allows you to:

Set the size and variant of all buttons within it.
Add spacing between the buttons.
Flush the buttons together by removing the border radius of the its children as needed.

<ButtonGroup borderRadius="15px" variant="outline" spacing="6">
  <Button borderRadius="15px" colorScheme="brand">
    Save
  </Button>
  <Button borderRadius="15px">Cancel</Button>
</ButtonGroup>

<ButtonGroup variant="outline" spacing="6">
  <Button>Save</Button>
  <Button>Cancel</Button>
</ButtonGroup>

Accessibility#

Button has role of button.
When Button has focus, Space or Enter activates it.

Composition#

All props you pass (variant, colorScheme, etc.) are converted to style props. This means you can override any style of the Button via props.

Custom variants:#

"transparent-with-icon"

function Example() {
  let mainTeal = useColorModeValue("brand.300", "brand.300")
