Angular Icon Button Overview
The Ignite UI for Angular Icon Button component allows developers to use registered icons as buttons in their application. It carries all features of the icon component but adds features from the button component as well.
Angular Icon Button Example
Usage
The simplest way to start using the IgxIconButton is as follows:
Examples
Variant
Similar to the regular button components, the icon button supports several variants - flat (default), contained, and outlined; To change the icon button type set the variant attribute of the icon button.
Size
The size of the button can be changed by utilizing the --ig-size CSS variable to any of the three supported sizes: --ig-size-small, --ig-size-medium, --ig-size-large(default).
Type
The icon button component will change its internal structure from <button> to an <a> type element when the href attribute is set. In that case the icon button can be thought of as a regular link. Setting the href attribute will allow you to also set the rel, target, and download attributes of the icon button.
Mirrored
Some icons need to look a little different when used in Right-to-Left(RTL) mode. For that reason we provide a mirrored attribute that, when set, flips the icon button horizontally.
Styling
The IgxIconButton component exposes two CSS parts - base and icon that allow you to style the wrapping element (<button> or <a>) and the wrapped <igc-icon> element.
igc-icon-button[variant="contained"]:not([disabled])::part(base) {
padding: 12px;
background-color: var(--ig-success-500);
}
igc-icon-button::part(icon) {
--size: 22px;
color: var(--ig-success-500-contrast);
}
