Usage

Choosing the right button is fundamental to deliver a consistent user experience across an entire product portfolio.

linkChoosing the right button class

Depending on the scenario, use any of the following Bootstrap button classes: btn-secondary, btn-primary, btn-danger. The use of other Bootstrap button classes such as btn-link, btn-warning, btn-info and btn-success isn't allowed.
  • Use the class btn-secondary for actions with the same hierarchy, such as “copy”, “paste”, “crop”, etc.
  • Use the class btn-primary to represent a call-to-action, for example "save", "send", etc., in order to draw the user's attraction to this action.
  • Destructive actions such as "delete", "erase", "unsubscribe", etc. should use the class btn-secondary, however, they require a confirmation message with the ultimate destructive action. This last step requires full attention from the user, therefore you must use the class btn-danger.

linkButtons are not links

The use of the Bootstrap class btn-link is not permitted since it blends two different concepts: buttons and links.

Links

Links should only be used to take the user to a different page or section, within or outside of the application. There should be no system action performed by clicking a link.

Buttons

A button is used to perform any action on a given page, module, or component. An action such as next in a wizard should also use a btn-secondary because it only moves the user to the next step of a system process in a larger component.
