IMPORTANT: The Material Web Components are a work in progress and subject to major changes until 1.0 release.

Buttons allow users to take actions, and make choices, with a single tap.

Installation

npm install @material/mwc-button

NOTE: The Material Web Components are distributed as ES2017 JavaScript Modules, and use the Custom Elements API. They are compatible with all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and IE11, but an additional tooling step is required to resolve bare module specifiers, as well as transpilation and polyfills for Edge and IE11. See here for detailed instructions.
