Implementation

The component represents a button element contained by the sbb-header component.

Slots

It is possible to provide a label via an unnamed slot; the component can optionally display a sbb-icon
at the component start using the iconName property or via custom content using the icon slot.

<sbb-header-button>Text</sbb-header-button>

<sbb-header-button icon-name="pie-small">Another text</sbb-header-button>

If the component's icon is set, the property expandFrom can be used to define the minimum breakpoint
from which the label is displayed; below that, only the icon is visible.
Without an icon, the label is always displayed.

<sbb-header-button expand-from="large">Text</sbb-header-button>

Avatar image

By slotting an img or a sbb-image into the icon-slot, an avatar style icon will be displayed,
and it's possible to place a sbb-badge on it. However, for the img-elements it's not possible to directly
place a sbb-badge on it. In this case, use a wrapping <figure> element.

<figure sbb-badge="5" class="sbb-figure" slot="icon">
  <img
    src="..."
    alt="Avatar Icon"
    class="sbb-image-border-radius-round"
    style="width: var(--sbb-size-icon-ui-small); height: var(--sbb-size-icon-ui-small);"
  />
</figure>

Style

To indicate an active state, the CSS class sbb-active should be set.

From accessibility perspective aria-current="page" should be set whenever the CSS class sbb-active is set.

<sbb-header-button
  icon-name="magnifying-glass-small"
  href="#"
  class="sbb-active"
  aria-current="page"
>

</sbb-header-button>

Button properties

The component is internally rendered as a button,
accepting its associated properties (type, name, value and form).

<sbb-header-button value="menu" name="menu">Button</sbb-header-button>

Properties

Name Attribute Privacy Type Default Description
expandFrom expand-from public SbbHorizontalFrom 'large' Used to set the minimum breakpoint from which the text is displayed. E.g. if set to 'large', the text will be visible for breakpoints large and ultra, and hidden for all the others. Ignored if no icon is set.

Also, a custom validity message (see below) has precedence over native validation messages.
