When to use this component

Use a button to help direct users to perform a specific action. They should be used to start a process, save users information, and progress through a service.

How to use this component

Write button text in sentence case, describing the action it performs. The button label should be short, clear and direct. For example ‘Save and continue’ or ‘Sign in’.

Align the primary action button to the left edge of a form.

Primary (default)

Use a primary button for the main call to action on a page.

Avoid using multiple primary buttons on the same page because it will reduce the impact and make it hard for users to know what to do next.

Open this example in a new tab  
<button type="submit" class="ons-btn">
  <span class="ons-btn__inner">Save and continue</span>
</button>
{% from "components/button/_macro.njk" import onsButton %}

Variants

To use an alternative type of button, set the variants parameter to either a single value or an array of multiple values. For example, "variants": 'small' or "variants": ['small', 'secondary'].

Small

In certain circumstances there may be the need for multiple primary actions to exist on a page. The small primary button should be used in this scenario only when each action has the same context, for example, a list containing business surveys that a user needs to start.

Open this example in a new tab  
<button type="button" class="ons-btn ons-btn--small">
  <span class="ons-btn__inner">Add</span>
</button>
{% from "components/button/_macro.njk" import onsButton %}
{{
    onsButton({
        "type": 'button',
        "text": 'Add',
        "variants": 'small'
    })
}}
Name Type Required Description
text string true If html is set, this is not required. Text for the button. If html is provided, the text argument will be ignored.
html string true If text is set, this is not required. HTML for the button. If html is provided, the text argument will be ignored.
type string true Type of input or button – button, submit or reset. Defaults to submit.
name string true Name for the button, if the button is a link the id attribute will be set instead
value string true Value for the button
url string false If provided will create a link and adds the relevant classes
variants array or string false An array of values or single value (string) to adjust the ‘button’ using available variants - small, secondary, ghost and disabled
id string false ID for the button
classes string false Classes to add to the button component
innerClasses string false Classes to add to the inner button element
attributes object false HTML attributes (for example, data attributes) to add to the button component
listeners object false Creates a script element that adds an event listener to the element by id. Takes key { event } and value { function }
submitType string false If set to timer the button will only be disabled for a short time to stop double clicks from double submitting. If set to loader will create a loader button that includes the loading animation
iconType object false Object that contains the settings for adding icons to buttons.
noIcon boolean false Removes a button’s icon when set to true
newWindow boolean false Opens the next page in a new tab. Used for links to external pages
buttonStyle string false Can be set to print, exit or mobile. This will style the button with the relevant classes and icons
buttonContext string false Can be used to add context to a button’s text label for screen readers. For example, the “Hide this” button in the collapsible component requires context to help let a screen reader user know what the button hides.
dsExample boolean false Defaulted to true if set in Design System examples, will render a <a> tag instead of <button> to stop default submit behaviour of buttons in forms - only for use in DS examples

Icon

Name Type Required Description
iconType string true Name of the icon to be used
iconPosition string true Position of the icon in relation to the button text. Either set to before or after

Secondary

Use secondary buttons in combination with a primary button for secondary actions on the page. Avoid using too many secondary buttons on the same page as it can make hard for users to know what to do next.

Open this example in a new tab  
<button type="button" class="ons-btn ons-btn--secondary">
  <span class="ons-btn__inner">Add a person</span>
</button>
{% from "components/button/_macro.njk" import onsButton %}
{{
    onsButton({
        "type": 'button',
        "text": 'Add a person',
        "variants": 'secondary'
    })
}}
Name Type Required Description
text string true If html is set, this is not required. Text for the button. If html is provided, the text argument will be ignored.
html string true If text is set, this is not required. HTML for the button. If html is provided, the text argument will be ignored.
type string true Type of input or button – button, submit or reset. Defaults to submit.
name string true Name for the button, if the button is a link the id attribute will be set instead
value string true Value for the button
url string false If provided will create a link and adds the relevant classes
variants array or string false An array of values or single value (string) to adjust the ‘button’ using available variants - small, secondary, ghost and disabled
id string false ID for the button
classes string false Classes to add to the button component
innerClasses string false Classes to add to the inner button element
attributes object false HTML attributes (for example, data attributes) to add to the button component
listeners object false Creates a script element that adds an event listener to the element by id. Takes key { event } and value { function }
submitType string false If set to timer the button will only be disabled for a short time to stop double clicks from double submitting. If set to loader will create a loader button that includes the loading animation
iconType object false Object that contains the settings for adding icons to buttons.
noIcon boolean false Removes a button’s icon when set to true
newWindow boolean false Opens the next page in a new tab. Used for links to external pages
buttonStyle string false Can be set to print, exit or mobile. This will style the button with the relevant classes and icons
buttonContext string false Can be used to add context to a button’s text label for screen readers. For example, the “Hide this” button in the collapsible component requires context to help let a screen reader user know what the button hides.
dsExample boolean false Defaulted to true if set in Design System examples, will render a <a> tag instead of <button> to stop default submit behaviour of buttons in forms - only for use in DS examples

Icon

iconType string true Name of the icon to be used
iconPosition string true Position of the icon in relation to the button text. Either set to before or after

Call to action

The call to action button should be used when a link to a new page is the primary call to action on a page. For example, a “Start survey” button.

Links simply styled as buttons are not accessible to users who navigate a web page with voice commands. Setting the url parameter will create a link with role=button which will let these users select the button.

Open this example in a new tab  
<a href="#0" role="button" class="ons-btn ons-btn--link ons-js-submit-btn">
  <span class="ons-btn__inner">Get started

Call to action opening in a new window

Use this button when a page needs to open in a new window, for example, for a web chat service.

Set the newWindow parameter to true. This adds a warning for screen reader users so they know a new window will open when they select the button. This helps them understand why the back button in the browser is disabled on the new page.

Open this example in a new tab

Ghost

The ghosted button style is for use in the header or footer. This can be used to allow a user to exit or save and sign out of a service.

Setting the iconType parameter to exit adds an appropriate icon for a ‘sign out’ or ‘exit’ button.

Disabled

Disabled buttons have poor contrast and can confuse some users. Only use disabled buttons if research shows it makes the page easier to understand. For example, the “Send message” button on the Send and reply to messages pattern is disabled until a message is entered into the field.

Use "variant": 'disabled' with the disabled=true attribute parameter for buttons that have no event/action but need to be displayed.

Open this example in a new tab  
<button type="button" class="ons-btn ons-btn--disabled" disabled="true">
  <span class="ons-btn__inner">Submit</span>
</button>
{% from "components/button/_macro.njk" import onsButton %}
{{
    onsButton({
        "type": 'button',
        "text": 'Submit',
        "variants": 'disabled',
        "attributes": {
            "disabled": "true"
        }
    })
}}
Name Type Required Description
text string true If html is set, this is not required. Text for the button. If html is provided, the text argument will be ignored.
html string true If text is set, this is not required. HTML for the button. If html is provided, the text argument will be ignored.
type string true Type of input or button – button, submit or reset. Defaults to submit.
name string true Name for the button, if the button is a link the id attribute will be set instead
value string true Value for the button
url string false If provided will create a link and adds the relevant classes
variants array or string false An array of values or single value (string) to adjust the ‘button’ using available variants - small, secondary, ghost and disabled
id string false ID for the button
classes string false Classes to add to the button component
innerClasses string false Classes to add to the inner button element
attributes object false HTML attributes (for example, data attributes) to add to the button component
listeners object false Creates a script element that adds an event listener to the element by id. Takes key { event } and value { function }
submitType string false If set to timer the button will only be disabled for a short time to stop double clicks from double submitting. If set to loader will create a loader button that includes the loading animation
iconType object false Object that contains the settings for adding icons to buttons.
noIcon boolean false Removes a button’s icon when set to true
newWindow boolean false Opens the next page in a new tab. Used for links to external pages
buttonStyle string false Can be set to print, exit or mobile. This will style the button with the relevant classes and icons
buttonContext string false Can be used to add context to a button’s text label for screen readers. For example, the “Hide this” button in the collapsible component requires context to help let a screen reader user know what the button hides.
dsExample boolean false Defaulted to true if set in Design System examples, will render a <a> tag instead of <button> to stop default submit behaviour of buttons in forms - only for use in DS examples

Icon

Loader

The loader button should be used when the button starts a process that can take longer than expected to complete.

Using it will prevent a form being submitted more than once if a user tries to select the button multiple times.

Setting "submitType": 'loader' will disable the button when selected and show an animated loading icon.

Open this example in a new tab

Timer

The timer button can be used to prevent forms being submitted twice when users double-click the submit button. Setting "submitType": 'loader' will disable the button for one second after it’s selected.

Open this example in a new tab  
<form onsubmit="return false;">
  <button type="submit" class="ons-btn ons-js-timer ons-js-submit-btn">
    <span class="ons-btn__inner">Submit</span>

Print

Setting "buttonStyle": 'print' will show a button with a print icon and add classes used in the print-button.js file.

The button will not show until the JavaScript has run, and will not be shown on a printed page.

Grouping buttons

Placing buttons directly one after the other in your template will display them side by side. This lets you show a positive primary action next to a negative secondary action, for example, “Continue” and “Cancel”.

Open this example in a new tab  
<button type="button" class="ons-btn">
  <span class="ons-btn__inner">Continue</span>
</button>
<button type="button" class="ons-btn ons-btn--secondary">
  <span class="ons-btn__inner">Cancel</span>
</button>
{% from "components/button/_macro.njk" import onsButton %}
    {{
        onsButton({
            "type": 'button',
            "text": 'Continue'
        })
    }}

    {{
        onsButton({
            "type": 'button',
            "text": 'Cancel',
            "variants": 'secondary'
        })
    }}
Name Type Required Description
text string true If html is set, this is not required. Text for the button. If html is provided, the text argument will be ignored.
html string true If text is set, this is not required. HTML for the button. If html is provided, the text argument will be ignored.
type string true Type of input or button – button, submit or reset. Defaults to submit.
name string true Name for the button, if the button is a link the id attribute will be set instead
value string true Value for the button
url string false If provided will create a link and adds the relevant classes
variants array or string false An array of values or single value (string) to adjust the ‘button’ using available variants - small, secondary, ghost and disabled
id string false ID for the button
classes string false Classes to add to the button component
innerClasses string false Classes to add to the inner button element
attributes object false HTML attributes (for example, data attributes) to add to the button component
listeners object false Creates a script element that adds an event listener to the element by id. Takes key { event } and value { function }
submitType string false If set to timer the button will only be disabled for a short time to stop double clicks from double submitting. If set to loader will create a loader button that includes the loading animation
iconType object false Object that contains the settings for adding icons to buttons.
noIcon boolean false Removes a button’s icon when set to true
newWindow boolean false Opens the next page in a new tab. Used for links to external pages
buttonStyle string false Can be set to print, exit or mobile. This will style the button with the relevant classes and icons
buttonContext string false Can be used to add context to a button’s text label for screen readers. For example, the “Hide this” button in the collapsible component requires context to help let a screen reader user know what the button hides.
dsExample boolean false Defaulted to true if set in Design System examples, will render a <a> tag instead of <button> to stop default submit behaviour of buttons in forms - only for use in DS examples

Icon

Name Type Required Description
iconType string true Name of the icon to be used
iconPosition string true Position of the icon in relation to the button text. Either set to before or after

Custom icon buttons

You can add an icon to a button using the parameters iconType and iconPosition.

There is specific guidance on how to use the available set of icons.

Name Type Required Description
text string true If html is set, this is not required. Text for the button. If html is provided, the text argument will be ignored.
html string true If text is set, this is not required. HTML for the button. If html is provided, the text argument will be ignored.
type string true Type of input or button – button, submit or reset. Defaults to submit.
name string true Name for the button, if the button is a link the id attribute will be set instead
value string true Value for the button
url string false If provided will create a link and adds the relevant classes
variants array or string false An array of values or single value (string) to adjust the ‘button’ using available variants - small, secondary, ghost and disabled
id string false ID for the button
classes string false Classes to add to the button component
innerClasses string false Classes to add to the inner button element
attributes object false HTML attributes (for example, data attributes) to add to the button component
listeners object false Creates a script element that adds an event listener to the element by id. Takes key { event } and value { function }
submitType string false If set to timer the button will only be disabled for a short time to stop double clicks from double submitting. If set to loader will create a loader button that includes the loading animation
iconType object false Object that contains the settings for adding icons to buttons.
noIcon boolean false Removes a button’s icon when set to true
newWindow boolean false Opens the next page in a new tab. Used for links to external pages
buttonStyle string false Can be set to print, exit or mobile. This will style the button with the relevant classes and icons
buttonContext string false Can be used to add context to a button’s text label for screen readers. For example, the “Hide this” button in the collapsible component requires context to help let a screen reader user know what the button hides.
dsExample boolean false Defaulted to true if set in Design System examples, will render a <a> tag instead of <button> to stop default submit behaviour of buttons in forms - only for use in DS examples
