Chakra UI Icon Button - Horizon UI

IconButton composes the Button component except that it renders only an icon.

Since IconButton only renders an icon, you must pass the aria-label prop, so screen readers can give meaning to the button.

Import#

import { IconButton } from "@chakra-ui/react"

Usage#

<IconButton
aria-label="Search database"
borderRadius="10px"
icon={<SearchIcon />}
/>
<IconButton
aria-label="Search database"
borderRadius="10px"
icon={<SearchIcon />}
/>

Button Colors#

The IconButton component accepts most of the props from the Button component, so we can use colorScheme prop to change the color of the button.

<IconButton
colorScheme="brand"
aria-label="Search database"
borderRadius="10px"
icon={<SearchIcon />}
/>
<IconButton
colorScheme="brand"
aria-label="Search database"
borderRadius="10px"
icon={<SearchIcon />}
/>

Button Sizes#

Like the Button component, pass the size prop to change the size of the button.

<IconButton
colorScheme="brand"
aria-label="Call Fred"
borderRadius="10px"
size="lg"
icon={<PhoneIcon />}
/>
<IconButton
colorScheme="brand"
aria-label="Call Fred"
borderRadius="10px"
size="lg"
icon={<PhoneIcon />}
/>

Button Variants#

Like the Button component, pass the variant prop to change the style of the button.

<IconButton
variant="outline"
colorScheme="brand"
borderRadius="10px"
aria-label="Send email"
icon={<EmailIcon />}
/>
<IconButton
variant="outline"
colorScheme="brand"
borderRadius="10px"
aria-label="Send email"
icon={<EmailIcon />}
/>

With custom icon#

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

<IconButton
variant="outline"
colorScheme="brand"
borderRadius="10px"
aria-label="Call Fred"
fontSize="20px"
icon={<MdPhone />}
/>
<IconButton
variant="outline"
colorScheme="brand"
borderRadius="10px"
aria-label="Call Fred"
fontSize="20px"
icon={<MdPhone />}
/>
