Button styling

Basic button

Also see the <Button> React component

The .bf-button will apply bifrost button styling:

<button class="bf-button">Button element</button>

Link styled as button

The .bf-button class, and all the combinations below can also be applied to <a> elements.

<a href="/path" class="bf-button">Link element</a>

Link element

Filled and flat variants

Another two alternative button variants are supplied:

.bf-button-filled for primary call-to-action buttons

<button class="bf-button">Basic (default)</button>
<button class="bf-button bf-button-filled">Filled</button>
<button class="bf-button bf-button-flat">Flat</button>

State colors

Another three alternative button variants are supplied:

.bf-button-alert for destructive actions
.bf-button-inactive for currently unavailable actions (should still happen something on click, like a tooltip explaining why the button is inactive)

A note about `type`

The default type of a <button> is submit. Unless you need the button to submit a <form> you probably want <button type='button'> instead.

<form>
  <button>this button will submit the form</button>
</form>
<button type="button">button with a javascript click handler</button>
