Buttons
Buttons are the Symphony elements responsible for submitting a form to the bot. As a result, all Symphony form elements are required to have at least one button where `type=action
`. When an end-user clicks this button, the form and the value of each of the elements inside will be submitted to the bot via the datafeed and presented as a JSON payload.
In addition, some forms can contain reset buttons. These buttons are used to reset a form back to its original state.
Buttons support six different styles: primary
, primary-link
, secondary
, tertiary
, destructive
and destructive-link
. Each of those has different colors to suit different actions (to convey meaning). Use the class
attribute to specify the style.
Primary: use the Primary button when there is a clear primary action on a message. You can use it for the submit button, for example.
Secondary: use the Secondary button when there are multiple actions of the same importance or some actions with less importance than a single primary action.
Destructive: use the Destructive button when an action results in the removal of an item or if it can result in a potentially serious negative consequence.
Primary-link, Tertiary and Destructive-link: These styles are variations respectively of the Primary, Secondary and Destructive buttons but without borders. They are low prominence options that can be used alongside a Primary or as standalone buttons with the ability to read more information.
