• Bower: bower install --save scales-patterns-buttons

Buttons should be used with links, buttons, and submit inputs for best results

<a href="#" class="btn">Link Button</a>
<button class="btn">Button Button</button>
<input class="btn is-disabled" type="submit" value="Input Button">

Available Classes

• .btn - The main button class
• .is-disabled - Disabled state for buttons (disabled attribute is preferred)

The Scales Namespace Variable

All Scales patterns expose the $scales-namespace variable.

$scales-namespace accepts a string that will prefix all Scales classes. The default value is null.

To give all Scales classes a namespace, you will need to set this variable in a file that is imported before any scales files. For example:

@import your-project/settings; // $scales-namespace is set in this file
@import your-project/scales; // Imports the Scales library
@import your-project/project // The rest of your project imports

Extending

The button pattern simply provides a base for buttons. In your project or theme, you can easily extend the button pattern for your own purposes. For example:

@import scalescss/pattern-buttons/buttons

//
// Primary buttons
///
.btn--primary {
    background-color: #0074D9;
    border: 2px solid #001F3F;
    border-radius: 5px;
    color: #fff;

    &:hover,
    &:active,
    &:focus {
        background-color: #001F3F;
        border-color: #0074D9;
    }
}

//
// Small buttons
///
.btn--small {
    font-size: 85%;
    padding: .2em .5em;
}

<button class="btn btn--primary">Primary Button</button>

<button class="btn btn--small">Small Button</button>
