Buttons
Use custom button styles for actions in forms, dialogs, and more with support for multiple sizes, states, and more.
Buttons
The following are the default style of buttons from Pixel. Use the modified classes (ie. btn-primary
or btn-secondary
) to change colors:
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-primary" type="button">Primary</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-secondary" type="button">Secondary</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-tertiary" type="button">Tertiary</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-success" type="button">Success</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-warning" type="button">Warning</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-danger" type="button">Danger</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-info" type="button">Info</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-dark" type="button">Dark</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-gray" type="button">Gray</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-light" type="button">Light</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-white" type="button">White</button>
Buttons with outline
Use the following modifier class to add colors only to the outline of the button. Can be used very well when there are two buttons in the layout but the outlined one is of secondary importance:
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-primary" type="button">Primary</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-secondary" type="button">Secondary</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-tertiary" type="button">Tertiary</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-success" type="button">Success</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-warning" type="button">Warning</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-danger" type="button">Danger</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-info" type="button">Info</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-dark" type="button">Dark</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-gray" type="button">Gray</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-light" type="button">Light</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-white" type="button">White</button>
Pill buttons
Adding the .btn-pill
modifier class will add a larger amount of border radius to the button:
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-pill btn-primary" type="button">Primary</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-pill btn-outline-primary" type="button">Primary</button>
Buttons with icon
Example with buttons coupled with an icon:
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-primary" type="button"><i class="far fa-heart mr-2"></i>Primary</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-outline-secondary" type="button"><i class="far fa-thumbs-up mr-2"></i>Secondary</button>
Circle buttons
You can use the border utility class, like .rounded-circle
if you want circle button.
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-icon-only btn-primary" type="button">
<span class="btn-inner-icon"><i class="far fa-heart"></i></span>
</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-icon-only rounded-circle btn-primary" type="button">
<span class="btn-inner-icon"><i class="far fa-thumbs-up"></i></span>
</button>
Button animations
In todays world well animated elements can make the difference between good and great layouts. Use animation modifier classes .animate-*-#
(eg. .animate-up-1
, .animate-down-3
). You can use up, right, down and bottom and use a counter from 1 to 5 to specify the distance in pixels.
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-primary animate-up-2" type="button">Animate up</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-secondary animate-right-3" type="button">Animate right</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-tertiary animate-left-3" type="button">Animate left</button>
<button class="btn mb-2 mr-2 btn-success animate-down-2" type="button">Animate down</button>
