Material Design Buttons
Documents text, outlined, contained, toggle, and icon button treatments, including icon-and-text combinations and icon-only controls whose icon must clearly signify the action.
Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Button group | Choose a button group when two to four actions are contextually related and should be considered together at one workflow moment. | Each button performs a command immediately or starts a named flow; buttons in the group do not represent persistent selected values unless the component is intentionally a segmented or toggle group. | Material documents button variants, icon and text combinations, and common button treatments used in grouped action contexts. |
| Icon-only ambiguous action | Flag this anti-pattern when the icon meaning is not clear from the visible label, surrounding row, action group, and product convention. | The visual control, accessible name, and action result use the same verb and object. | Material Design documents button variants, icon-with-text buttons, and icon buttons whose icons must signify the button action. |
