IconButton

A small utility component that composes Button and VisuallyHidden to provide simple, accessible buttons with icons.

Sancho exports:

  • IconButton: For creating buttons with any icons.
  • CloseButton: A standard IconButton with a close icon, used in the Dialog component.

Basic usage

IconButton accepts Sancho icons or any other react components via the icon prop. If provided with a Sancho icon, sizing and colour is handled for you. Otherwise, you need to manage the colour and sizing yourself.

The IconButton composes the Button component, so it accepts the same props as Button. A label prop is required for accessibility purposes.

Menu
<IconButton
  variant="outline"
  intent="primary"
  icon={<IconMenu />}
  label="Menu"
/>

Ghost variant

Menu
<IconButton icon={<IconMenu />} label="Menu" variant="ghost" />

CloseButton

We expose a CloseButton component which composes the IconButton component. This is used throughout Sancho, including the Dialog component.

Close
<CloseButton onPress={() => alert("Hello")} />
