Variants

The <sp-action-button> can be customized with either or both of the emphasized and quiet attributes. These will pair with either or both of the state attributes (selected and disabled) to decide the final visual delivery of the <sp-action-button>. Content addressed to the icon slot can also be provided and will be positioned just before the rest of the the supplied button content.

Action button with hold affordance

The use of the hold-affordance attribute signifies that the <sp-action-button> in question will be delivered with a visual affordance outlining that special interaction with the button will dispatch a longpress event. Via a pointer input, this even will be dispatched when 300ms has passed after a pointerdown event without the presence of a pointerup or pointercancel event. Via the keyboard, an event with a code of Space or or ArrowDown while altKey === true will dispatch the event.

Toggles

With the application of the toggles attribute, the button will self manage its selected property on click. When this value is updated, a cancellable change event will be dispatched to inform the parent application.
