```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-demo.tsx"
import { ArrowUpIcon } from "lucide-react"

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonDemo() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-wrap items-center gap-2 md:flex-row">
      <Button variant="outline">Button</Button>
      <Button variant="outline" size="icon" aria-label="Submit">
        <ArrowUpIcon />
      </Button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Installation

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @fulldev/button
```

## Usage

```tsx
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
```

```tsx
<Button variant="outline">Button</Button>
```

## Cursor

Tailwind v4 [switched](https://tailwindcss.com/docs/upgrade-guide#buttons-use-the-default-cursor) from `cursor: pointer` to `cursor: default` for the button component.

```css showLineNumbers title="globals.css"
@layer base {
  button:not(:disabled),
  [role="button"]:not(:disabled) {
    cursor: pointer;
  }
}
```

## Size

Use the `size` prop to change the size of the button.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-size.tsx"
import { ArrowUpRightIcon } from "lucide-react"

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonSize() {
  return (
    <div className="flex flex-col items-start gap-8 sm:flex-row">
      <div className="flex items-start gap-2">
        <Button size="xs" variant="outline">
          Extra Small
        </Button>
        <Button size="icon-xs" aria-label="Submit" variant="outline">
          <ArrowUpRightIcon />
        </Button>
      </div>
      <div className="flex items-start gap-2">
        <Button size="sm" variant="outline">
          Small
        </Button>
        <Button size="icon-sm" aria-label="Submit" variant="outline">
          <ArrowUpRightIcon />
        </Button>
      </div>
      <div className="flex items-start gap-2">
        <Button variant="outline">Default</Button>
        <Button size="icon" aria-label="Submit" variant="outline">
          <ArrowUpRightIcon />
        </Button>
      </div>
      <div className="flex items-start gap-2">
        <Button variant="outline" size="lg">
          Large
        </Button>
        <Button size="icon-lg" aria-label="Submit" variant="outline">
          <ArrowUpRightIcon />
        </Button>
      </div>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Default

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-default.tsx"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonDefault() {
  return <Button>Button</Button>
}
```

## Outline

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-outline.tsx"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonOutline() {
  return <Button variant="outline">Outline</Button>
}
```

## Secondary

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-secondary.tsx"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonSecondary() {
  return <Button variant="secondary">Secondary</Button>
}
```

## Ghost

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-ghost.tsx"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonGhost() {
  return <Button variant="ghost">Ghost</Button>
}
```

## Destructive

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-destructive.tsx"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonDestructive() {
  return <Button variant="destructive">Destructive</Button>
}
```

## Link

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-link.tsx"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonLink() {
  return <Button variant="link">Link</Button>
}
```

## Icon

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-icon.tsx"
import { CircleFadingArrowUpIcon } from "lucide-react"

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonIcon() {
  return (
    <Button variant="outline" size="icon">
      <CircleFadingArrowUpIcon />
    </Button>
  )
}
```

## With Icon

Remember to add the `data-icon="inline-start"` or `data-icon="inline-end"` attribute to the icon for the correct spacing.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-with-icon.tsx"
import { IconGitBranch, IconGitFork } from "@tabler/icons-react"

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonWithIcon() {
  return (
    <div className="flex gap-2">
      <Button variant="outline">
        <IconGitBranch data-icon="inline-start" /> New Branch
      </Button>
      <Button variant="outline">
        Fork
        <IconGitFork data-icon="inline-end" />
      </Button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Rounded

Use the `rounded-full` class to make the button rounded.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-rounded.tsx"
import { ArrowUpIcon } from "lucide-react"

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonRounded() {
  return (
    <div className="flex gap-2">
      <Button className="rounded-full">Get Started</Button>
      <Button variant="outline" size="icon" className="rounded-full">
        <ArrowUpIcon />
      </Button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Spinner

Render a `<Spinner />` component inside the button to show a loading state.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-spinner.tsx"
import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import { Spinner } from "@/components/ui/spinner"

export function ButtonLoading() {
  return (
    <div className="flex gap-2">
      <Button variant="outline" disabled>
        <Spinner data-icon="inline-start" />
        Generating
      </Button>
      <Button variant="secondary" disabled>
        Downloading
        <Spinner data-icon="inline-start" />
      </Button>
    </div>
  )
}
```

## Button Group

To create a button group, use the `ButtonGroup` component.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button-group/button-group-demo.tsx"
"use client"

import * as React from "react"
import {
  ArchiveIcon,
  ArrowLeftIcon,
  CalendarPlusIcon,
  ClockIcon,
  ListFilterIcon,
  MailCheckIcon,
  MoreHorizontalIcon,
  TagIcon,
  Trash2Icon,
} from "lucide-react"

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import { ButtonGroup } from "@/components/ui/button-group"
import {
  DropdownMenu,
  DropdownMenuContent,
  DropdownMenuGroup,
  DropdownMenuItem,
  DropdownMenuRadioGroup,
  DropdownMenuRadioItem,
  DropdownMenuSeparator,
  DropdownMenuSub,
  DropdownMenuSubContent,
  DropdownMenuSubTrigger,
  DropdownMenuTrigger,
} from "@/components/ui/dropdown-menu"

export function ButtonGroupDemo() {
  const [label, setLabel] = React.useState("personal")

  return (
    <ButtonGroup>
      <ButtonGroup className="hidden sm:flex">
        <Button variant="outline" size="icon" aria-label="Go Back">
          <ArrowLeftIcon />
        </Button>
      </ButtonGroup>
      <ButtonGroup>
        <Button variant="outline">Archive</Button>
        <Button variant="outline">Report</Button>
      </ButtonGroup>
      <ButtonGroup>
        <Button variant="outline">Snooze</Button>
        <DropdownMenu>
          <DropdownMenuTrigger
            render={
              <Button variant="outline" size="icon" aria-label="More Options" />
            }
          >
            <MoreHorizontalIcon />
          </DropdownMenuTrigger>
          <DropdownMenuContent align="end" className="w-40">
            <DropdownMenuGroup>
              <DropdownMenuItem>
                <MailCheckIcon />
                Mark as Read
              </DropdownMenuItem>
              <DropdownMenuItem>
                <ArchiveIcon />
                Archive
              </DropdownMenuItem>
            </DropdownMenuGroup>
            <DropdownMenuSeparator />
            <DropdownMenuGroup>
              <DropdownMenuItem>
                <ClockIcon />
                Snooze
              </DropdownMenuItem>
              <DropdownMenuItem>
                <CalendarPlusIcon />
                Add to Calendar
              </DropdownMenuItem>
              <DropdownMenuItem>
                <ListFilterIcon />
                Add to List
              </DropdownMenuItem>
              <DropdownMenuSub>
                <DropdownMenuSubTrigger>
                  <TagIcon />
                  Label As...
                </DropdownMenuSubTrigger>
                <DropdownMenuSubContent>
                  <DropdownMenuRadioGroup
                    value={label}
                    onValueChange={setLabel}
                  >
                    <DropdownMenuRadioItem value="personal">
                      Personal
                    </DropdownMenuRadioItem>
                    <DropdownMenuRadioItem value="work">
                      Work
                    </DropdownMenuRadioItem>
                    <DropdownMenuRadioItem value="other">
                      Other
                    </DropdownMenuRadioItem>
                  </DropdownMenuRadioGroup>
                </DropdownMenuSubContent>
              </DropdownMenuSub>
            </DropdownMenuGroup>
            <DropdownMenuSeparator />
            <DropdownMenuGroup>
              <DropdownMenuItem variant="destructive">
                <Trash2Icon />
                Trash
              </DropdownMenuItem>
            </DropdownMenuGroup>
          </DropdownMenuContent>
        </DropdownMenu>
      </ButtonGroup>
    </ButtonGroup>
  )
}
```

## As Link

You can use the `buttonVariants` helper to make a link look like a button.

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-render.tsx"
import { buttonVariants } from "@/components/ui/button"

export function ButtonRender() {
  return (
    <a
      href="#"
      className={buttonVariants({ variant: "secondary", size: "sm" })}
    >
      Login
    </a>
  )
}
```

## RTL

To enable RTL support in shadcn/ui, see the [RTL configuration guide](https://ui.shadcn.com/docs/rtl).

```tsx title="src/components/examples/button/button-rtl.tsx"
"use client"

import { ArrowRightIcon, PlusIcon } from "lucide-react"

import { Button } from "@/components/ui/button"
import { Spinner } from "@/components/ui/spinner"
import {
  useTranslation,
  type Translations,
} from "@/components/language-selector"

const translations: Translations = {
  en: {
    dir: "ltr",
    values: {
      button: "Button",
      submit: "Submit",
      delete: "Delete",
      loading: "Loading",
    },
  },
  ar: {
    dir: "rtl",
    values: {
      button: "زر",
      submit: "إرسال",
      delete: "حذف",
      loading: "جاري التحميل",
    },
  },
  he: {
    dir: "rtl",
    values: {
      button: "כפתור",
      submit: "שלח",
      delete: "מחק",
      loading: "טוען",
    },
  },
}

export function ButtonRtl() {
  const { dir, t } = useTranslation(translations, "ar")

  return (
    <div className="flex flex-wrap items-center gap-2 md:flex-row" dir={dir}>
      <Button variant="outline">{t.button}</Button>
      <Button variant="destructive">{t.delete}</Button>
      <Button variant="outline">
        {t.submit}{" "}
        <ArrowRightIcon className="rtl:rotate-180" data-icon="inline-end" />
      </Button>
      <Button variant="outline" size="icon" aria-label="Add">
        <PlusIcon />
      </Button>
      <Button variant="secondary" disabled>
        <Spinner data-icon="inline-start" /> {t.loading}
      </Button>
    </div>
  )
}
```
