Button types

The types of Blazor Button are as follows:

• Flat Button
• Outline Button
• Round Button
• Primary Button
• Toggle Button

Flat Button

The Flat Button is styled with no background color. To create a Flat Button, set the CssClass property to e-flat.

Outline Button

An Outline Button has a border with transparent background. To create an Outline Button, set the CssClass property to e-outline.

Round Button

A Round Button is circular in shape. Usually, it contains an icon representing its action. To create a Round Button, set the CssClass property to e-round.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons

<SfButton CssClass="e-flat">Flat</SfButton>
<SfButton CssClass="e-outline">Outline</SfButton>
<SfButton CssClass="e-round" IconCss="e-icons e-plus-icon" IsPrimary="true"></SfButton>

<style>
    .e-plus-icon::before {
        content: '\e823';
    }
</style>

Primary Button

The primary button is styled with background color and it is used to represent a primary action. To create a Primary Button, set the IsPrimary property to true.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons

<SfButton IsPrimary="true">Primary</SfButton>

Toggle Button

A toggle Button allows you to change between the two states. The Button is active in toggled state and can be recognized through the e-active class. The functionality of the toggle Button is handled by OnClick event. To create a toggle Button, set the IsToggle property to true. In the following code snippet, the toggle Button text changes to play/pause based on the state of the Button with the use of OnClick event.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons

<SfButton CssClass="e-flat" IsPrimary="true" IconCss="@IconCss" Content="@Content" IsToggle="true" @onclick="OnToggleClick" @ref="ToggleBtnObj"></SfButton>

@code {
    SfButton ToggleBtnObj;
    public string IconCss = "e-icons e-play";
    public string Content = "Play";
    public void OnToggleClick()
    {
        if(ToggleBtnObj.Content == "Play")
        {
            this.Content = "Pause";
            this.IconCss = "e-icons e-pause";
        }
        else
        {
            this.Content = "Play";
            this.IconCss = "e-icons e-play";
        }
    }
}

<style>

    .e-play::before {
        content: '\e324';
    }

    .e-pause::before {
        content: '\e326';
    }

</style>

Icons

Button with font icons

The Button can have an icon to provide the visual representation of the action. To place the icon on a Button, set the IconCss property to e-icons with the required icon CSS. By default, the icon is positioned to the left side of the Button. You can customize the icon’s position by using the IconPosition property.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons

<SfButton IconCss="e-icons e-play-icon" IconPosition="IconPosition.Right">PLAY</SfButton>
<SfButton IconCss="e-icons e-pause-icon">PAUSE</SfButton>

<style>
    .e-play-icon::before {
        content: '\e324';
    }
    .e-pause-icon::before {
        content: '\e326';
    }
</style>

Button size

The two types of Button sizes are default and small. To change the size of the default Button to small Button, set the CssClass property to e-small.

@using Syncfusion.Blazor.Buttons

<SfButton CssClass="e-small">SMALL</SfButton>
<SfButton>NORMAL</SfButton>
