Icon Button

[component-header:sl-icon-button]

Icons buttons are simple, icon-only buttons that can be used for actions and in toolbars.

For a full list of icons that come bundled with Shoelace, refer to the icon component.

<sl-icon-button name="gear" label="Settings"></sl-icon-button>
import { SlIconButton } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react';

const App = () => <SlIconButton name="gear" label="Settings" />;

Examples

Sizes

Icon buttons inherit their parent element's font-size.

<sl-icon-button name="pencil" label="Edit" style="font-size: 1.5rem;"></sl-icon-button>
<sl-icon-button name="pencil" label="Edit" style="font-size: 2rem;"></sl-icon-button>
<sl-icon-button name="pencil" label="Edit" style="font-size: 2.5rem;"></sl-icon-button>
import { SlIconButton } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react';

const App = () => (
  <>
    <SlIconButton name="pencil" label="Edit" style={{ fontSize: '1.5rem' }} />
    <SlIconButton name="pencil" label="Edit" style={{ fontSize: '2rem' }} />
    <SlIconButton name="pencil" label="Edit" style={{ fontSize: '2.5rem' }} />
  </>
);

Colors

Icon buttons are designed to have a uniform appearance, so their color is not inherited. However, you can still customize them by styling the base part.

<div class="icon-button-color">
  <sl-icon-button name="type-bold" label="Bold"></sl-icon-button>
  <sl-icon-button name="type-italic" label="Italic"></sl-icon-button>
  <sl-icon-button name="type-underline" label="Underline"></sl-icon-button>
</div>

<style>
  .icon-button-color sl-icon-button::part(base) {
    color: #b00091;
  }

  .icon-button-color sl-icon-button::part(base):hover,
  .icon-button-color sl-icon-button::part(base):focus {
    color: #c913aa;
  }

  .icon-button-color sl-icon-button::part(base):active {
    color: #960077;
  }
</style>
import { SlIconButton } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react';

const css = `
  .icon-button-color sl-icon-button::part(base) {
    color: #b00091;
  }

  .icon-button-color sl-icon-button::part(base):hover,
  .icon-button-color sl-icon-button::part(base):focus {
    color: #c913aa;
  }

  .icon-button-color sl-icon-button::part(base):active {
    color: #960077;
  }
`;

const App = () => (
  <>
    <div className="icon-button-color">
      <SlIconButton name="type-bold" label="Bold" />
      <SlIconButton name="type-italic" label="Italic" />
      <SlIconButton name="type-underline" label="Underline" />
    </div>

    <style>{css}</style>
  </>
);

Use the href attribute to convert the button to a link.

<sl-icon-button name="gear" label="Settings" href="https://example.com" target="_blank"></sl-icon-button>
import { SlIconButton } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react';

const App = () => <SlIconButton name="gear" label="Settings" href="https://example.com" target="_blank" />;

Icon Button with Tooltip

Wrap a tooltip around an icon button to provide contextual information to the user.

<sl-tooltip content="Settings">
  <sl-icon-button name="gear" label="Settings"></sl-icon-button>
</sl-tooltip>
import { SlIconButton, SlTooltip } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react';

const App = () => (
  <SlTooltip content="Settings">
    <SlIconButton name="gear" label="Settings" />
  </SlTooltip>
);

Disabled

Use the disabled attribute to disable the icon button.

<sl-icon-button name="gear" label="Settings" disabled></sl-icon-button>
import { SlIconButton } from '@shoelace-style/shoelace/dist/react';

const App = () => <SlIconButton name="gear" label="Settings" disabled />;
