Button UI - Buttons States and Variants Guide

Buttons: The Cornerstone of User Interaction

Buttons are essential UI elements that enable users to take actions, make choices, and navigate interfaces. Let's explore the anatomy of buttons and their common variations and uses.

1. Text Buttons: Simple, often used for less prominent actions.

2. Contained Buttons: Filled buttons for primary actions, offering high emphasis.

3. Outlined Buttons: Provide a middle ground between text and contained buttons.

Button Variations

• Icon + Text: Enhances visual communication and recognition.

• Icon Only: Space-efficient, ideal for toolbars or tight layouts. Ensure the icon's meaning is clear!

• Text Only: Short and concise, reduces overload in crowded spaces or a group of buttons.

Button States

  • Enabled/Default: The button's normal appearance.

  • Hover: Visual feedback when a cursor is over the button.

  • Active/Pressed: Indicates the button is being clicked.

  • Focused: Shows keyboard focus, crucial for accessibility.

  • Disabled: Visually indicates the action is currently unavailable.

Remember, consistent use of button styles and states across your interface helps users quickly understand how to interact with your product. Choose your button style based on the action's importance and your overall design hierarchy.
