Installation

Install npm package

If you prefer you can equally use npm.

Install icons

yarn add react-icons

The examples use icons provided by the react-icons package, but you can use any icons. However, if you want to use built-in styled buttons you have to provide svg icons.

Install CSS-in-JS library

The styled buttons use the Emotion library to add CSS styles to the components.

yarn add emotion

import { css } from 'emotion';
