### This is a base component. It should not be used in your feature code directly but as a "base" for other UI components

# ButtonBase

The `ButtonBase` is the base component for buttons.

<Canvas>
  <Story id="components-componentlibrary-buttonbase--default-story" />
</Canvas>

## Props

The `ButtonBase` accepts all props below as well as all [Box](/docs/components-ui-box--default-story#props) component props

<ArgsTable of={ButtonBase} />

### Size

Use the `size` prop and the `Size` object from `./ui/helpers/constants/design-system.js`
to change the size of `ButtonBase`. Defaults to `Size.MD`

Optional: `BUTTON_BASE_SIZES` from `./button-base` object can be used instead of `Size`.

Possible sizes include:

- `Size.SM` 32px
- `Size.MD` 40px
- `Size.LG` 48px

<Canvas>
  <Story id="components-componentlibrary-buttonbase--size-story" />
</Canvas>

```jsx
import { Size } from '../../../helpers/constants/design-system';

<ButtonBase size={Size.SM} />
<ButtonBase size={Size.MD} />

<Canvas>

</ButtonBase>;
```

Use the `startIconName` and/or `endIconName` prop with the `ICON_NAMES` object from `./ui/components/component-library` to select icon.

<Canvas>
  <Story id="components-componentlibrary-buttonbase--start-icon-name" />

import { ButtonBase } from '../../component-library';
import { ICON_NAMES } from '../icon';

<ButtonBase startIconName={ICON_NAMES.ADD_SQUARE}>Button</ButtonBase>;
```

<Canvas>
  <Story id="components-componentlibrary-buttonbase--end-icon-name" />
</Canvas>

```jsx
import { ButtonBase } from '../../component-library';
import { ICON_NAMES } from '../icon';

<ButtonBase endIconName={ICON_NAMES.ARROW_2_RIGHT}>Button</ButtonBase>;
```

<Canvas>
  <Story id="components-componentlibrary-buttonbase--rtl" />

import { ButtonBase, ICON_NAMES } from '../../component-library';

<>
  <ButtonBase
    startIconName={ICON_NAMES.ADD_SQUARE}
    endIconName={ICON_NAMES.ARROW_2_RIGHT}
  >
    Button Demo
  </ButtonBase>
  <ButtonBase
    startIconName={ICON_NAMES.ADD_SQUARE}
    endIconName={ICON_NAMES.ARROW_2_RIGHT}
    textDirection={TEXT_DIRECTIONS.RIGHT_TO_LEFT}
  >
    Button Demo
  </ButtonBase>
</>;
```

### Ellipsis

Use the boolean `ellipsis` prop to change the if the `ButtonBase` component to have an ellipsis.

Note: this should only be used for dynamic/user generated content or addresses. Generally, button text should be succinct and only contain one or two words.

<Canvas>
  <Story id="components-componentlibrary-buttonbase--ellipsis" />
</Canvas>

```jsx
import { ButtonBase } from '../../component-library';

<Box style={{ width: 180 }}>
  <ButtonBase>This is long text example without ellipsis</ButtonBase>
  <ButtonBase ellipsis>This is long text example with ellipsis</ButtonBase>
</Box>;
```
