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.

    Email
  </Button>
  <Button rightIcon={<ArrowForwardIcon />} colorScheme="teal" variant="outline">

</Stack>

<Stack direction="row" spacing={4}>

    Email
  </Button>
  <Button rightIcon={<ArrowForwardIcon />} colorScheme="teal" variant="outline">
    Call us
  </Button>
</Stack>

Editable Example

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 leftIcon={<MdBuild />} colorScheme="pink" variant="solid">
    Settings
  </Button>
  <Button rightIcon={<MdCall />} colorScheme="blue" variant="outline">
    Call us

    Settings
  </Button>
  <Button rightIcon={<MdCall />} colorScheme="blue" variant="outline">
    Call us
  </Button>
</Stack>

Editable Example

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 isLoading colorScheme="teal" variant="solid">
    Email
  </Button>
  <Button
    isLoading
    loadingText="Submitting"
    colorScheme="teal"
    variant="outline"
  >
    Submit
  </Button>
</Stack>

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

Editable Example

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

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

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

Editable Example

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

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

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

Editable Example

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

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

Editable Example

To flush the buttons, pass the isAttached prop.

<ButtonGroup size="sm" isAttached variant="outline">
  <Button mr="-px">Save</Button>
  <IconButton 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>

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.

// The size prop affects the height of the button
// It can still be overriden by passing a custom height
<Button
  size="md"
  height="48px"
  width="200px"
  border="2px"
  borderColor="green.500"
>
  Button
</Button>

<Button
  size="md"
  height="48px"
  width="200px"
  border="2px"
  borderColor="green.500"
>
