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.

Demo

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 IE11. See here for detailed instructions.

Example Usage

Standard

<mwc-button label="standard"></mwc-button>
<mwc-button label="standard" icon="code"></mwc-button>

Outlined

<mwc-button outlined label="outlined"></mwc-button>
<mwc-button outlined label="outlined" icon="code"></mwc-button>

Warning: Do not attempt to use multiple variant attributes on the same button to achieve intended styles. For example, <mwc-button raised outlined>. Doing so may subject you to future breaking changes. Instead, pick the single variant most appropriate for the use-case and write Sass to customize the buttons individually.

Raised

<mwc-button raised label="raised"></mwc-button>
<mwc-button raised label="raised" icon="code"></mwc-button>

Unelevated

<mwc-button unelevated label="unelevated"></mwc-button>
<mwc-button unelevated label="unelevated" icon="code"></mwc-button>

Dense

<mwc-button dense unelevated label="dense"></mwc-button>
<mwc-button dense unelevated label="dense" icon="code"></mwc-button>

Trailing Icon

<mwc-button label="trailing icon" icon="code" trailingIcon></mwc-button>
