Button

<auro-button> is a HTML custom element for the purpose being a clickable element to trigger a specific action.

Responsive support

<auro-button> is responsive by default. The button will assume 100% of the width of its container for views less than auro_breakpoint--sm.

Beyond that breakpoint <auro-button> will assume the width of the content or a min-width of 8.75rem, which ever is greater.

If the desired appearance of the <auro-button> is to be placed in the reverse direction of natural content, then the attributes of responsive and reverse are needed on the <auro-button> element.

Multi button support

When the UI requires the use of multiple buttons within the same space, with the use of the Auro Web Core Style Sheets, and the auro_containedButtons.

Design Token CSS Custom Property dependency

The use of any Auro custom element has a dependency on the Auro Design Tokens.

CSS Custom Property fallbacks

CSS custom properties are not supported in older browsers. For this, fallback properties are pre-generated and included with the npm.

Any update to the Auro Design Tokens will be immediately reflected with browsers that support CSS custom properties, legacy browsers will require updated components with pre-generated fallback properties.
