States

In addition to the variant, sp-buttons have a disabled state visual state which can be applied by adding the attribute disabled. All spectrum-button variants support the In addition to affectng the visual state, the disabled attribute prevents focus and disallows click events.

<sp-button variant="primary">Normal</sp-button>
<sp-button variant="primary" disabled>Disabled</sp-button>

Handling Events

Events handlers for clicks and other user actions can be registered on a spectrum-button just as on a normal HTML button element.

<sp-button onclick="alert('spectrum-button clicked!')">Click me!</sp-button>

Autofocus

The autofocus attribute sets focus to the sp-button when the component mounts. This is useful for setting focus to a specific sp-button when a popover or dialog opens.

<sp-button autofocus>Confirm</sp-button>
