Button

The <zg-button> element is used both for core, internal buttons as well as offering a styled and flexible component for custom use. Depending on how it is used, ZingGrid interprets how to render the button accordingly.

Internal Buttons

You can style and modify internal buttons without changing their behavior. Add text labels or change the default icon. Anything you don't change is rendered normally.

Adding a Text Label

The simplest modification is to add a text label and have the rest of the button render normally. To do this, just add your text label inside the button, like so:

<zg-button action="editrecord">Edit</zg-button>

Icons

Here is a list of ZingGrid's internal icons:

Slotted Content

To modify the internal button's icon or checkbox, you must directly tell the button which piece of it you are replacing. You do this by adding the appropriate slot to your replacement.

To replace the default icon, add your replacement <zg-icon> inside the button with the correct slot, like so:

<zg-button action="createrecord">
  <zg-icon name="close" slot="icon"></zg-icon>
</zg-button>

To replace the default checkbox, add your replacement inside the button with the correct slot, like so:

Custom Content

Use the same <zg-button> for your own custom use (see below). Since it doesn't have an action attribute, ZingGrid knows it is custom and will render your button "as-is" without the internal icon, checkbox, and label elements.

<zg-button>
  <img src="..." alt="..."/>
  <span>My Button</span>
</zg-button>
