Button

Submits, resets, links or runs C#.

A static page with IzzyBlazor's script. No circuit.

Usage

razor

@* In a form: posts it, on any page. *@
<Button Submit>Save</Button>

@* A link that looks like a button. *@
<Button Href="docs/get-started">Get started</Button>

@* C# on click, on interactive pages. *@
<Button OnClick="Refresh" Variant="ButtonVariant.Outline">Refresh</Button>

Accents and variants

Use Accent for the color and Variant for the weight. Keep one solid primary button per area.

    <Button Accent="Accent.Neutral" Variant="ButtonVariant.Ghost">Skip</Button>
    <Button Accent="Accent.Danger">Delete</Button>
    <Button Variant="ButtonVariant.Link">Learn more</Button>
</Row>

Submit and reset

Use Submit or Reset inside a Form. The browser does the work, so it posts with JavaScript off too.

    <TextField @bind-Value="Model!.Name" Label="Project name" />

@code {
    [SupplyParameterFromForm(FormName = "project")]
    private Project? Model { get; set; }

    private string? _saved;

    protected override void OnInitialized() => Model ??= new();

    private void Save() => _saved = Model!.Name;

    public sealed class Project
    {
        [Required, StringLength(40)]
        public string Name { get; set; } = "Docs site";
    }
}

Static: Blazor's enhanced form handling posts it without a full reload.

Several submit buttons

Give each one the same Name and its own Value, and the form posts which was pressed. See it run.

razor

<Form Model="Post" FormName="post" OnValidSubmit="Save">
    ...
    <Button Submit Name="intent" Value="publish">Publish</Button>
    <Button Submit Name="intent" Value="draft" Variant="ButtonVariant.Outline">Save draft</Button>
</Form>

@code {
    // "publish" or "draft". Not "action": that name would hide the form's own.
    [SupplyParameterFromForm(FormName = "post", Name = "intent")]
    private string? Intent { get; set; }
}

Links

Use Href to render a link that looks like a button, and External to open it in a new tab.

        _saving = false;

}

Use @bind-Pressed for a button that turns something on and off, such as Bold: a click toggles it, and screen readers hear whether it's pressed. On static pages, set Pressed from the server's state and post the change with Submit, Name and Value. A link can't be pressed.

Mode support

What works in each mode, Button
Feature	Off	Static	Live
Submit or reset a form, follow a link	Yes	Yes	Yes
Several submit buttons told apart by Name and Value	Yes	Yes	Yes
Loading and disabled states	Yes	Yes	Yes
OnClick runs C#	No	No	Yes

Off: JavaScript disabled. Static: a static SSR page with IzzyBlazor's script. Live: an interactive page (Server, WebAssembly or Auto).

Accessibility

It renders a native button or a, so Enter, Space and focus work as the browser defines them.
The focus ring shows for keyboard focus only.
An action shown only as an icon needs a name: use IconButton, whose Label is required.
A loading button keeps focus and sets aria-busy; screen readers hear LoadingLabel.
A disabled or loading link loses its href, keeps role="link" and sets aria-disabled.
An external link says it opens a new tab (NewTabLabel), not just with its icon.
A toggle (Pressed) sets aria-pressed, so screen readers hear "pressed" or "not pressed"; pressed, it shows an edge in the accent color as well as a tint.
