Custom Properties API

This component can be modified via its --mod-* prefixed custom properties. A list of those prefixed custom properties can be found here.

Migration Guide

Fill or Outline class required

All buttons now require either the .spectrum-Button--fill or .spectrum-Button--outline class.

CTA replaced by Accent with Fill

Replace all .spectrum-Button--cta with .spectrum-Button--accent .spectrum-Button--fill.

Icon Only

Add the .spectrum-Button--iconOnly class to apply the correct styling when an icon is used without a label.
Provide an aria-label on the button itself when using this variant for accessibility.

T-shirt sizing

Button now supports t-shirt sizing and requires that you specify the size of button by adding a .spectrum-Button--size* class.

Change workflow icon size

Previously, all Buttons used .spectrum-Icon--sizeS. This has changed:

Button classname Workflow icon classname
.spectrum-Button--sizeS .spectrum-Icon--sizeS
.spectrum-Button--sizeM .spectrum-Icon--sizeM
.spectrum-Button--sizeL .spectrum-Icon--sizeL
.spectrum-Button--sizeXL .spectrum-Icon--sizeXL

Remove focus-ring class

We’ve migrated away from the focus-ring class in favor of the native :focus-visible pseudo-class due to changes in browser support.
