## Demo

### Tailwind

This example shows how to implement the component using Tailwind CSS.

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import { Button } from 'base-ui-solid/button';

export default function ExampleButton() {
  return (
    <Button class="flex h-8 items-center justify-center gap-2 rounded-none border border-neutral-950 bg-white px-3 text-sm leading-none whitespace-nowrap font-normal text-neutral-950 select-none hover:not-data-disabled:bg-neutral-100 active:not-data-disabled:bg-neutral-200 focus-visible:outline-2 focus-visible:-outline-offset-1 focus-visible:outline-neutral-950 dark:focus-visible:outline-white data-disabled:border-neutral-500 data-disabled:text-neutral-500 disabled:border-neutral-500 disabled:text-neutral-500 dark:border-white dark:bg-neutral-950 dark:text-white dark:hover:not-data-disabled:bg-neutral-800 dark:active:not-data-disabled:bg-neutral-700 dark:data-disabled:border-neutral-400 dark:data-disabled:text-neutral-400">
      Submit
    </Button>
  );
}
```

### CSS Modules

This example shows how to implement the component using CSS Modules.

```css
/* index.module.css */
.Button {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  gap: 0.5rem;
  height: 2rem;
  padding: 0 0.75rem;
  margin: 0;
  border: 1px solid oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
  border-radius: 0;
  background-color: white;
  font-family: inherit;
  font-size: 0.875rem;
  font-weight: 400;
  line-height: 1;
  white-space: nowrap;
  color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
  -webkit-user-select: none;
  user-select: none;

  @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
    border: 1px solid white;
    background-color: oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
    color: white;
  }

  @media (hover: hover) {
    &:hover:not([data-disabled]) {
      background-color: oklch(97% 0 0deg);

      @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
        background-color: oklch(26.9% 0 0deg);
      }
    }
  }

  &:active:not([data-disabled]) {
    background-color: oklch(92.2% 0 0deg);

    @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
      background-color: oklch(37.1% 0 0deg);
    }
  }

  &[data-disabled] {
    color: oklch(55.6% 0 0deg);
    border-color: oklch(55.6% 0 0deg);

    @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
      color: oklch(70.8% 0 0deg);
      border-color: oklch(70.8% 0 0deg);
    }
  }

  &:focus-visible {
    outline: 2px solid oklch(14.5% 0 0deg);
    outline-offset: -1px;

    @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
      outline-color: white;
    }
  }
}
```

```tsx
/* index.tsx */
import { Button } from 'base-ui-solid/button';
import styles from './index.module.css';

export default function ExampleButton() {
  return <Button class={styles.Button}>Submit</Button>;
}
```

## Usage guidelines

- **Submit buttons**: Unlike the native button element, `type="submit"` must be specified on Button for it to act as a submit button.
- **Links**: The Button component enforces button semantics (`role="button"`, keyboard interaction, disabled state). It should not be used for links. See [Rendering links as buttons](#rendering-links-as-buttons) below.

## Anatomy

Import the component:

```jsx title="Anatomy"
import { Button } from 'base-ui-solid/button';

<Button />;
```

## Examples

### Rendering as another tag

The button can remain keyboard accessible while being rendered as another tag, such as a `<div>`, by specifying `nativeButton={false}`.

```jsx title="Custom tag button"
import { Button } from 'base-ui-solid/button';

// @highlight-text "nativeButton={false}"
<Button render="div" nativeButton={false}>
  Button that can contain complex children
</Button>;
```

### Rendering links as buttons

The Button component enforces button semantics. `nativeButton={false}` signals that the rendered tag is not a `<button>`, but it must still be a tag that can receive button semantics (`role="button"`, keyboard interaction handlers). Links (`<a>`) have their own semantics and should not be rendered as buttons through the `render` prop.

If a link needs to look like a button visually, style the `<a>` element directly with CSS rather than using the Button component.

### Loading states

For buttons that enter a loading state after activation, specify `focusableWhenDisabled` so focus remains on the button while it is disabled. Because some browser and screen reader combinations do not reliably announce changes to a focused button's descendant text, use [`aria-labelledby`](https://www.w3.org/TR/accname-1.2/#computation-steps) to make the changing text the button's explicit accessible name.
