Inline

Should you wish to place a button after a line of inline text, as a CTA for example, you can do so by adding the state class is-inline to the button element.

Dense

In contexts where vertical space is limited, you might want a button with reduced vertical padding. Add class .is-dense to achieve that:

Icon

Should you wish to place an icon in a button. You will not want to button to become full width on small screens. Therefore, you can add the state class has-icon to the button. If the contrast between the icon chosen and the button background is not sufficient then the is-dark or is-light classes can be added to the icon where appropriate.

Import

To import just this component into your project, copy the snippet below and include it in your main Sass file.

@import 'patterns_buttons';
@include vf-p-buttons;

// when using icons within buttons you need to include icons as well
@import 'patterns_icons';
@include vf-p-icons;

If you only need a small subset of the icons consider including them individually to reduce the size of your CSS file.
