  • inherited observable

    ariaLabelledBy : string | undefined

    (Optional) The ARIA property reflected by the aria-ariaLabelledBy DOM attribute used by assistive technologies.

  • children : ViewCollection<View<HTMLElement>>

  • inherited observable

    class : undefined | string

  • inherited observable

    icon : undefined | string

    (Optional) An XML content of the icon. When defined, an iconView should be added to the button.

  • inherited observable

    isEnabled : boolean

    Controls whether the button view is enabled, i.e. it can be clicked and execute an action.

    To change the "on" state of the button, use isOn instead.

    Defaults to true

  • inherited observable

    isOn : boolean

    Controls whether the button view is "on". It makes sense when a feature it represents is currently active, e.g. a bold button is "on" when the selection is in the bold text.

    To disable the button, use isEnabled instead.

    Defaults to true

  • inherited observable

    isToggleable : boolean

    Controls whether the button view is a toggle button (two–state) for assistive technologies.

    Defaults to false

  • inherited observable

    isVisible : boolean

    Controls whether the button view is visible. Visible by default, buttons are hidden using a CSS class.

    Defaults to true

  • inherited observable

    keystroke : undefined | string

    (Optional) The keystroke associated with the button, i.e. CTRL+B, in the string format compatible with keyboard.

    Note: Use withKeystroke if you want to display the keystroke information next to the label.

  • inherited observable

    label : undefined | string

    The label of the button view visible to the user when withText is true. It can also be used to create a tooltip.

  • inherited observable

    labelStyle : undefined | string

    (Optional) The value of the style attribute of the label.

  • inherited observable

    role : string | undefined

    (Optional) The property reflected by the role DOM attribute to be used by assistive technologies.

  • inherited observable

    tabindex : number

    (Optional) Controls the tabindex HTML attribute of the button. By default, the button is focusable but does not included in the Tab order.

    Defaults to -1

  • inherited observable

    tooltip : string | boolean | ( string, undefined | string ) => string

    (Optional) Tooltip of the button, i.e. displayed when hovering the button with the mouse cursor.

    • If defined as a Boolean (e.g. true), then combination of label and keystroke will be set as a tooltip.
    • If defined as a String, tooltip will equal the exact text of that String.
    • If defined as a Function, label and keystroke will be passed to that function, which is to return a string with the tooltip text.
    const view = new ButtonView( locale );
    view.tooltip = ( label, keystroke ) => `A tooltip for ${ label } and ${ keystroke }.`
    

    Defaults to false

  • inherited observable

    tooltipPosition : 'e' | 's' | 'n' | 'w' | 'sw' | 'se'

    (Optional) The position of the tooltip. See TooltipManager to learn more about the tooltip system.

  • inherited observable

    type : 'button' | 'menu' | 'reset' | 'submit'

    The HTML type of the button.

    Defaults to 'button'

  • inherited observable

    Defaults to false

  • inherited observable

    withText : boolean

    (Optional) Controls whether the label of the button is hidden (e.g. an icon–only button).

    Defaults to false
